one can just feel these things

with some aging to to the wood

for display rather than playing with for sure

but the seaweed is perfectly preserved and really lovely

Betty's Checkerboard Cat on Wood Panel inventive sculpture one can just feel theseI really wish I had other works by the Betty Groose (or similar), who made this in Miss Adams' classroom, grade school I would guess. It's almost as if she was anticipating the digital age, dividing the cat into pixels, though seems more likely she might first have taken a stab at it using graph paper, and then recreated it free hand much better with the squares getting a little wonky here and there. Just great. 9 13 16" w x 7" t x 1 4" d. Crayon on
