Feeling a bit like a Tramp ~ and LOVING it!!!!

I have recently been blessed 

...to have a new 'friend' in my life ~

one who has thee most talented hands, heart & soul:

David Schump

contacted me the other day via facebook with a friend request ~

he asked me to take a look at his work....

and I haven't stopped looking since.

it is my pleasure to introduce those of you 

who don't already know of this fellow's ability to carve life out of old wood, 

making perfect little treasures 

for those of us that love and appreciate fine folk art & sewing needfuls ~

taking wood and recycling found items,

making something new from old ~

chipping away pieces of wood...

hundreds of pieces of wood ~

...tiny little triangles fall away to reveal Davids unique ability to see the past...

incorporating spools, rulers and thread spools

into dimensional works of HEART ~

(BE STILL MY HEART!!!!)

layer upon layer of

memories meld together

to make a perfect piece of Folk Art ~

adding words and a wry sense of humor to the finished work

sets David's work apart from the rest ~

I am hoping to work with David on having some of his pieces available in the shop ~

and have invited him to come to our 

Gathering of Primitive Friends as a guest vendor 

in September 2014

(fingers crossed that he will grace us with a positive answer!)
