Homemade Arts and Crafts?

 

I like unusual pieces of work as they pertain to da Bears.  Some of these things are generic and customized, like the huge painted Bear of Urlacher and the REALLY weird smiley guy looking up the bear's buttox.  I always wanted hang the "smiley, creepy" guy on the bathroom wall.  The Wood guy that sits on shelves is cool. but I keep knocking him down.  The swollen, red-nosed piece is one of my favorites - I think he made have been patterned by the Fred Kail figures of the 1960's.  In front of that guy is a clay figurine of Sid Luckman, a fan and a Coach....kind of neat.

 









Just got a cool trinket box for some special valuables:

Here's an ugly little 6 inch thing.

Work in Progress

I just recently bought these homemade children's blocks.  the largest is 3 and 1/4 inches, and the set put together is 9 1/2 inches.  They will make for a nice shelf display.

Piggy Banks

The last picture shows that I have a propensity to start what a friend of mine (insert archaeologist Donnie) and I call "mini collections" or collections within collections.  So, yes I collect Piggy Banks.  Forever Collectibles and The Memory Company have put out several banks in the last few years but I have some from the early 1990s as well.
