Mankato Arts EmporiumHandmade item utilizing resources and supplies which is unique and one of a kind.
Randomly, as I’m working on another project, my husband blurts out
” Babe, I want a blockhead…”
Persistent as always he shows me a picture of a stuffed animal on amazon, laughs and walks away.
A week later I walk by and toss this to him
” Challenge Accepted”
….. he was speechless
To his surprise I was able produce it from glancing at the picture .
Long time ago my mom gave me this wooden checker board that belonged to my late brother. Needless to say no one was allowed to use it for fear of ruining it…… so I changed my mindset on it and started collecting pieces for this project. Took about a year of contemplating and this was created. As kids growing up memories are made, bonds formed and laughs shared…. This is for you brother.
( Update on Artist Search)
As we were shopping at a Mankato thrift store one day.
My husband found these hand painted pictures; two mounted into one handmade frame.
Simply signed ” Audrey” Whomever you are, your work is beautiful… 🙂
Update: I have been searching Google, Facebook Art Forums etc. and have no leads so far as to who this artist is. Perhaps an artist who was a hobbyist?
