Teen Fads, 1948

“Striped socks are worn by all the members of a girl’s club at the Austin High School in Chicago. They are regulation football stockings which the girls have wheedled away from Austin players. The girls think they are wonderful but the boys dislike them. They say the girls legs look like Barber Poles.”

Gulliver’s Travels

I tried something different with this sculpture. Since the front cover of this late 1800s book is so ornate, I decided not to hide it.  I can’t believe how well, my sculptures have been selling lately. I can’t seem to keep a good stock in my shop.  At this time, I am working on Goblins Ate My Book II, Hobbit, LOTR, Peter Pan, Dracula, and more. Hopefully I can get a new book listed every other day or so.
