Dali? Mais oui!
I just finished restoring the mechanical bank that my grandfather made for me (MANY) years ago, when I was ten.
My aim was to make it look like a turn-of-the-century gent, but methinks he looks more than a little like Salvador Dali, no?
Swallow the coin and . . . voila!
Grandpa’s long gone, but I still cherish all the handcrafts he made for us.

About The Folksy Mama
I am an admirer and collector of folk art, both antique and modern. For me, folk art is about . . .
. . . the uncommon beauty that resides within the most common objects.
. . . the human impulse to create and to make life more artful.
. . . the extraordinary love and humor that permeates works by ordinary folks.
