(One of the trickier things we've tried!) - bear pill bottle
Carved from San Pedro River area cottonwood, this character's head
unscrews to reveal an embedded bottle. At just 2 inches tall, it's sized
to hold nitroglycerin tablets - or other TINY treasures.

Step Stool (short table / short bench) made from recycled materials
This step stool (short table / bench) was made from recycled materials: the top from old shipping palets and the legs from scrap lumber. It measures approximately 10" high, 18.75" in length and 11 5/8" wide and is embellished with leather fringe. Each side is decorated with a "faux silver" concho which we hand-tool from cat food cans - and this is the only metal to be found on the piece (no nails or screws)... it is ENTIRELY pegged together (Amish style).

Manzanita Heart Necklace With little working, the heart in this piece was found as a natural appearance in a branch of wood brought back from Ash Canyon (see our "Monument Fire" page). Although the heart and most of the beads have scorch or burn marks, it doesn't compromise the durability - or beauty - of the necklace. |
