mama's dad, orland newman (6/18/18-1/26/98), was an artist. he made things from wood and copper. besides being mama's dad, he's my grandpa, daisymae maus's grandma's dad, daisymae's mom's grandpa, and daisymae's great grandpa! (family...whew!)
don't be scared...it's art!
mama LOVES this one
mama used to wear this on her suit lapel
grandpa used a small piece of lava rock from mt st helen to make this pretty little rose bouquet stand up
mama has had this rose on her desk ever since grandpa made it for her in 1990

Your Grandpa was a very very talented artist! My favorite is the first one. I love how the bear is showing his big strong teeths!

Your Granpa was very talented. The roses are exquisite. I like the bears, too, especially the black one.
These pieces were made by a very talented man...Did he work diligently and have a soft touch with his pieces? Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello kiddo! Your Grandpa was so talented! I loved the Polar Bear and Mommy loved the Roses.
Sorry that I haven't been around that much lately. These last two weeks have been hectic for my Mommy because the kids had so much going on for the end of school. Since I've adopted Peach, I will welcome her next week. I will have your coming out party soon. I need some expert advice from some kitty friends on some gifts for you girls! I'm not telling you yet!
Now, you asked about photoshop. Well, I do have Adobe Photoshop but don't know how to do anything with it. It's 2.0 so I need a new version to merge pictures. Do you know how it all works? My Mommy is a real computer DUMBY! MOL!
Those are all lovely. The roses are really nice, and the bears are cool! You should be proud of your grandpa!

OH, I added you to my sidebar!
Every one of those are beautiful.
From bears to delicate roses. Just amazing!!
You must be very proud of your Grandpa :)
Wow those are really, really beautiful!
Good job on your first Photo Hunt, Suzanne. Mom has a couple of great-grandad's roses, too. He was furry talented. He even "scented" Mom's roses ... You can barely smell 'em even today.
Thanks for sharing! Mom says that she misses grandpa (G-Pappy) efurry day (obviously not as much as your momma does ... but lots just the same).
