I have a new star, Kirsty Elson!
Her work makes me smile, and that is a needed thing. I have always admired people who can see things that others don't.
Elson’s love for found objects has been a driving force in her art for years. She’s always been passionate about giving new life to old elements, previously focusing on creating charming small cottages and picturesque seaside scenes. Recently, however, she’s shifted her creative attention to expressive, whimsical animals. These delightful creatures can be found perched on pegs, rolling on wheels, or warming themselves with tiny scarves, each piece bursting with character and charm.
For Kirsty Elson, a sliver of driftwood or a scrap of metal is a treasure waiting to be transformed. She has a unique talent for seeing beyond the discarded pieces of detritus or trash, envisioning whimsical creatures where others see waste. An old nail and a chunk of worn timber become a sleepy goat, while rusty rods and brush bristles morph into a curious donkey under her skilled hands.
What do you think?
Try as I may, I haven't figured out a way to see something out of this? Do you see the humor?
Just because ...

Jacki, I too love Kirsty Elson's (little - but great) works of art. You are right, her work makes one smile. And you are right that is a needed thing, even a MUCH needed thing.
Oh yes, I see the humor but only if I look at it as a photo. When I look at this pic and see the reality behind It isn't funny at all. The fourth smile expresses this perfectly. I don't want to go through things that don't kill me but make me stronger anymore. I think we both feel already strong enough. What do you think?
Yes, we are on the same wavelength. Wishing you all things good.
