They Come Alive at Night
August 9, 2013
Rumor has it, they come alive at night. By day, they sit on our shelves and function as banks for pocket change….and as conversation pieces. All were hand carved and created by my dad :)
My birthday present this year was inspired by the musical “Cats”, it was the first one created in a series that included not only cats, but leopard ladies too. You can see more of his work on his website – http://donsdaylilydivider.com/ …and a close-up of my birthday present, the tabbie.
