Little John Bull

I'm always reluctant to post anything throughout the summer.

We start working on Fall and Christmas items in late spring, and have little else to post for the warm months.

But, the first show of the season starts in a couple of weeks

 (Ball's Falls Thanksgiving Festival, Oct. 9-12... more about that soon.)

 and this one's not too Christmasy, is it?

A little Dresden-esque John Bull steam engine.

Made of recycled paper, cardboard and found objects, with aged cast metal wheels.

About 4inches long x 3.5inches tall.

 

One of many, many new items we'll be taking to the show.
