Mosquito Recycled Sculpture

This is another project using some recycled elements.  While on a walk picking up trash with my wife, she found a finial--that round ball that goes on top of a newel on a stairway banister.  I used that as the head of my mosquito.  The finial is mounted on a table leg, which forms the body.  The wings are old coat hangers.  I used hardware from around my garage to finish it off.  If it blows in the wind, I guess it would be considered a kinetic sculpture.

Basket-Weave Knife Sheath

This is a knife sheath from a Tandy Leather kit.  I tooled a basket-weave design on it.  I gave it to my friend, Tom, who is a collector of all things "western".  He keeps his rather rare, 1920's Sheffield made Wade & Butcher hunting knife in it.         (Photo Credit:  Tom Boyle)

Slim Jim Holster with Spanish Floral Design

This is another Slim Jim holster.   It is not from a kit.  The holster pattern is my design and is cut from one piece of leather.  I did it for my friend, Tom, who has a ranch in New Mexico.  It has an original Spanish Floral design on it.  Tom keeps his Colt Navy 1851 revolver in it.
