I always used Maxell 90 minute tapes. They always worked.

Driftwood horse I suspect had some shaping of parts before finishing, but I love the look.

As you leave the Portland (OR) airport, you'll see these . . . beautiful!

Deborah Butterfield Horse Sculptures

In 1995 the Portland International Airport commissioned Deborah Butterfield for an exhibit of her horse sculptures for which were placed along the drive as one leaves the airport.

"... Butterfield developed her faux-wood approach at the Walla Walla Foundry in Eastern Washington because her early stick-and-mud horses had deteriorated -- distressing art collectors. The wood shrank, wires loosened, dirt disintegrated and bugs attacked. Tiring of a secondary "veterinary art restorer" career, she sought permanence for her ephemeral sculptures. In the labor-intensive solution she documents and disassembles her wood horses, makes a mold for every stick, burns out the wood and pours in molten bronze. After reassembly, patinas restore nature's hues. ..."

"... Butterfield sculpts the original piece by piece by fastening logs, branches, sticks, planks, and boards onto an armature that gives the basic posture of the particular horse. After fashioning the horse out of wood and organic material, the piece is photographed from all sides and angles, particularly the areas where individual pieces are joined. These photos are used to reconstruct the various elements after casting. ..."

Seeing those horses would give a veterinarian nightmares.

I agree on both counts!

Speaking of drift wood, I think this got some help also.

looks at home there. Now put it in the living room of a doublewide and see how it looks.

Looks like it belongs in Pyke.

If you're handy with metal work make a little bike, if not buy one and put tabs on it. Then set it on top of a bottom sash and wait for the moon, or cheat and put a globe lamp behind it.

Butterfly bench for the garden.

glatt · 08-18-2017, 08:18 AM

I like those butterflies.

fargon · 08-18-2017, 10:28 AM

Very pretty.

Happy Monkey · 08-18-2017, 10:42 AM

I wonder if they're plywood... Otherwise their grain is going the wrong way.

Good point, blowing up the picture of the largest butterfly it's not clear. It looks sort of like a design in the wood?
