#Two (2) Found Objects!!

"Futile Fishing" by Beth Shea

Created from four precut pieces of 2x4 that came off the packing of a recently purchased canoe. The "rod" in the picture is a skewer used for roasting marshmellows on her many camping trips. The "bobber and bait" are some type of shell picked up on a hike and a piece of driftwood from a beach near the Redwood Forest in North California.

These images only give an idea of the sculpture, they do not accurately represent what it conveys in person.

Kate Shea here, this is called "Gilding the Inner Peanut"

And I totally failed to take a picture of the found object first. It was a ceramic squash dish, and really it didn't change much. But by the time I thought to take a picture I had glittered the inside of the dish.

Of course, I had mistaken it for a peanut dish.

Other people apparently can recognize the difference between a peanut and a gourd.

I, being terribly slow, have trouble with this.

So naturally I wanted this peanut as my found object so I could.... stick a sparkly Mr. Peanut inside!

Yep that's what I did. Dapper and sparkly!
