Love at First Sight
(click on images to enlarge)
Went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Craft Show for inspiration.
What I found was L O V E.
At first sight, Mark A. Perry's fabulous
carved wood goat.
Then I spied the huge Running Sheepdog
Pie Crimper?
And it was an antique carved
scrimshaw pie crimper that gave
Sculptor Mark A. Perry the inspiration
to carve his gigantic Dog Crimpers.
(Some have dog bone wheel spokes).
The cream colored Sheepdog at full
sprint, shaggy carved hair blowing
in the wind.
There is also the sleek ebony Great Dane
pushing his giant crimper forward.

This extraordinary Folk Art Sculptor is self-taught.
A perfectionist, learning his craft studying and duplicating and
taking inspiration from past excellence.
To see more of his exquisite Peacocks, gilded Fish,
an enormous Grasshopper (sporting glass door knob eyes),
elegant weather vanes, stoic tobacco shop Native American,
cocky long necked Rooster and marvelous mysterious modern figures,
reminiscent of antique Italian Santos
visit Mark A. Perry's marvelous website:

Still more to come.....stay tuned!
