This is an amazing toothpick sculpture of San Francisco and surrounding areas.
(It won Best of Show in the fair last year ~ the newspaper is running this story today, not sure why, but no matter.)
Talk about patience! It took him 40 years to make this! And the accompanying article in the newspaper says he's been offered as much as $40,000 for it, but he won't sell it. Good for him.
I'd love to be this obsessed with something creative. But I think I'd want to be gettin' paid for it.
I'm working on a bunch of stuff right now; some knitting, and some tests with colored pencils. I'm thinking "Fall" for my knitting already. I'm finally getting smart, instead of waiting until October. (I should also be thinking about Christmas ~ and it isn't even the first day of Summer yet!)
As for the colored pencils ~ it involves a bottle of baby oil. And that's all I'll say for now. I'll leave you wondering...
