Clearly there's some tomfoolery going
on here. Or is it teddy-foolery for this turkey with inflated vest, spectacle and oversized pocket watch is a bit reminiscent of President Teddy
Roosevelt, well noted, you know, for his bullying, braggadocio and
bluster. But note the red tie: did Teddy wear those? Of course,
this turkey is really a pilgrim, and all these references are likely
connected. Anyway, quite a neat bird, a lovely product of Sara's
craftsmanship, a perfect complement to our Thanksgiving celebrations.
As before the word collaboration is
used loosely as the handmade frame of oak takes so little time to
construct compared to the exquisite needlepoint stitching. I did,
however, help out in one other way: spending near an hour going
through dozens of bins at Ace Hardware until I found the exactly
sized set of washers which compose all the circular forms here, each
then painstakingly wrapped with thread. The gold chain was found in a flea market in Sierra Vista.
