"Remus-with cornstalks and corn"
I am pleased to present Remus ...My
Hand Hooked 3 dimensional Crow.
Our family has watched him all
Winter as he cavorted with his friends in the cornfield at
the end of the lane. We have nicknamed him "Chubby"
for obvious reasons. The whole flock of crows spent their
time scavenging corn that the combine dropped. Remus would
leave the others each afternoon and hang out at the dumpster
behind the pizza shop. He apparently did pretty well
there! He is now hard at work on a nest in the pine trees
behind the barn. ~~~~~ Remus has been hand rug hooked using
all recycled wools in antique blacks that have been hand
dyed by me. He is my own copyrighted design. He has
been hand sewn together and stuffed with wool snippets. His
eyes are antique Victorian black glass enameled buttons! He
has been mounted on an old Bed spring and is accompanied by
cornstalks from the field at the end of the lane as well as
a well picked, empty ear of corn. The spring gives a little
movement to Remus and the Cornstalks. Also included is my
hand made tag and a "key of happiness" tied to the piece
with hand dyed, hand cut wool.
Remus is approximately 12 1/2" from beak tip to tail tip and
he is a rotund 4" wide. The entire composition is about 11"
wide and 20" tall.
