Carved Wood Oddities

Kelly Mavis is a wood carver who finds her raw materials from old buildings, fishing boats that have run aground, and even from old logging camps. I like that she is reusing discarded objects to make beautiful new ones. In her shop, Historical Arts, you'll find wood hair ornaments, planchettes, runes, birdhouses, boxes, and jewelry. There is a touch of magic here.

Devil's Pitchfork Hair Stick
Heart Milagro Box
All Seeing Eye Bird House
Cedar Poppet Voodoo Doll
Looking at the photos of Mavis's carvings, I just want to hold them and rub them against my cheek. I think they must be full of good energy.
