Is This An Antique?
I bet this image looks very funny as a sidebar?Yup. Found at an antique market. Mother Earth.
Good to see some x-rated folk art on a grey rainy Sunday. This is my idea of a Sunday funny.
We planned to go to some outdoor markets today but since it was already raining by 9am, we thought it might be nicer to go to an indoor market we like near Waterloo.
I found this amazing length of big brass beads. I wonder what this was used for. It definitely is not a belt...way too heavy. Ideas?
The beads are amazing though! I'll do something with them for sure!Speaking of beads...look what my beading gang was up to this week!

It's probably a fertility belt for Mother Earth. :)
Hi there Carmi,
I have seen that piece at the Market and is always amazed. That vendor has such fun stuff for sure!

If you want to know more let me know. kay!
Hope you are well.

I have never heard of that place..I'll add it to my "must see sometime list!"
are you sure its not global warming screwing the world?
the beads... it looks like a curtain pull...I'm guessing that is what you call it. One of those things that holds the curtain back so that it creates a gather when opened....
they sure look nice...can't wait to see what you do with them...you're sooooooooooo creative!
