Junk or Treasure??????

I'm a "Primitive" designer and with that often comes a bit of the past tagging along. Often I will use objects to build from, like an old clock, candlestick or even a book! I love old and rusty cause they have the best stories to tell and sometimes the characters I add help to tell that story! Even my house is old and rusty and I do know it's bursting at the seams with stories! You could drop me in an prestigious antique store and I would be nosing around looking for the one item that is scraped and torn....one that has seen better days and I'm in love! Maybe it's my over active imagination but I hear these treasures whispering to me and I go with it. Broken clocks can be rejuvenated into a theatre of busy little characters or the body for one character! I remember last year my clock pumpkin guy was a HUGE hit. His body was the clock but in the back of the clock there was a mouse winding it up...or the rustic candelabra with comical ghostly mice hanging from it and being playful! Everything has a beginning and it is my job as a "primitive" artist to tackle that beginning and follow it to the end....of course chuckling the whole way!
