Apologies for the low-rez iPhone shots here.
This past Christmas, I gave these two pieces to my brothers-and-sisters-in-laws. I also gave my four nieces, my one nephew who lives in the area, my father-and-mother-in-law and another sister-in-law, their own walking stick and/or wall piece. Due to me not selling those pieces, I didn't at the time see the need to photograph them. I regret that now. After having made over 100 pieces and having posted most of them on my site, I realized that I didn't have many of my true extended family members represented here. If I was on the outside looking in, I would wonder if I, Stu, had any true extended family at all, and if I did, why weren't they here. Does Stu not like them? Do they not like him?
No. I like my in-laws quite a lot. I actually love them. And I think they like me too.
Again, last Christmas, I made and gave twelve pieces, most being Desert Agave walking sticks to these folk. It was fun and a lot of work, but more fun than work.
But I'm an idiot for not photographing them. Maybe some day, but those sticks have flown the coop.
Lastly, the two pieces here were photographed with my iPhone, in my old studio in Tucson, AZ, before I moved to Greensboro, NC in the summer of 2020.
Hug and kisses, everyone.
