Amazing creativity

I had planned to add another installment with the "critter quiver" in action (for dog training that is, not coyote hunting). However the weather did not cooperate with my plans but I will try to get video soon so you can all see poor Steel's eyes bug out of his head!

Over the weekend I went to a big crafts festival at the fairgrounds. "Crafts" covers a multitude of things, from someone making birdhouses in their garage to people carving beautiful bowls out of wood. This craft festival was a lot of the latter, over 200 amazingly creative people. Lots of jewelry, woodworking, all kinds of pottery and other unique things. It was like being in a museum; especially since most everything was pretty expensive!

However the best exhibit was the artist that created this:

Quite pretty but what is even more impressive is that the whole thing is made of metal, primarily tin and copper and then hand painted. The photos do not do justice to the level of detail in the sculptures. You cant help but touch them and even then it is weird because what you feel in your hand is nothing like you expect. You just can't believe that they aren't real plants.

They were amazing. Here are a few more:

The artist is William Wood, he lives in Clinton Mississippi. Sadly no website otherwise I would post the link.
