... We have a real WWII Tank in the middle of our town park. Kids love to climb up on it when they aren't playing on the slides or swings or looking for frogs by the pond nearby. Maybe this tiny piece "Bubble Shootin' Tinker Tank" (view below) is my wishful alternative.

"Bubble Shootin' Tinker Tank" 3x6x5 encaustic with vintage stringing beads, Tinker Toy parts, wood, nails. (Yes, the "gun" spins!)

Bluebirds...

This piece and my two previous pieces posted "Waking the Flowers" and "Squawkbox" are included in the show "Bird... watching" at The Gallery Della-Piana. You can visit their blog here:
