Charming Little Hand-carved Wooden Lion brave and his finished

and his finished

this beautiful woven textile would be stunning as a runner on the dining table (how about underneath a huge platter of colorful roasted root vegetables

which is very simple wood

and especially the stylized green stem of the flower on this mid century

which are jointed at the  shoulders and elbows

Charming Little Hand-carved Wooden Lion brave and his finishedSuch a great little lion! I'm having a really hard time resisting little handmade creatures, especially those that that possess such a wonderful sense of the humanity of their maker, as does this one. I love how the line of her nose extends all the way down from her eyes (which seem to see into my soul!), the human lips, and the super straight whiskers on either side above it. This little lion is definitely owning the space in which she lounges! 4 3
