Mackie and I have two dogs and three cats that share our home with us.  All of our friends were rescued from various situations.  First, Georgie (came to us seven years ago when my Father passed away.  Second, came Little Bits the cat - she's the first one our oldest daughter saved.  Tiger and Smiley (two Russian gray cats) were rescued by our daughter from Woodland Hills, California; I guess we were a little short of homeless animals around here.  And then there is Sherman the Schnauzer. We were exhibiting in Bandon, Oregon and the local humane society had a booth nearby; it turned out they rescued him from a puppy mill.  I took Georgie over to see if she and Sherman would potentially get along.  Georgie laid down when she saw him, and he laid on her paws.  I guess it was meant to be.

Here are a variety of items that we've made in the past.  Please visit our show schedule page and come visit us when we are near you!  Click on the photo to see a larger view.

This little fellow is crafted from a spring body with horseshoe legs.  An old shovel hand is used to create his head.

Here's the Chihuahua version of a spring dog.  This guy stands over 12" tall and is approximately 16" long. misc show 136.jpg (102378 bytes)
We had a lot of old flowers from another project that was scraped out.  Instead of throwing them out, we discovered that they made a great body! misc show 190.jpg (117567 bytes)
Dogs do the darndest things when us humans are not around!

This adorable fellow has a bone created from two bolts welded together.

Rockbird features a great set of shades and plumage created from forks.

Penelope was crated from recycled exhaust pipes, flat steel, nails, and ball bearings.

This low-flying guy ended up in a coffee pot.

Here's our latest item designed by Mackie.  We call him the duckwok.  Ok.  A lot of pun is intended.  Duckwok can be used as a planter or feeder.  Several small holes are drilled in the bottom to all drainage.

This is the standing version of our duckwok.  He stands about three feet tall and has a sturdy four-point stand that sticks in the ground.
