Description
Excerpted from the website:
- When I started sculpting in 1974, I whittled these 3 inch figures of little bearded men in a multitude of poses. I carved dozens of them and progressed to carving scenes with these little men that included the centerfold of Jethro Tull's Aqualung album as a wall sconce, which I presented to the band leader, Ian Anderson, at a concert. [His next album was titled "Songs from the Wood"] During semester breaks in college, I played with snow in the winter and sand at a Gloucester, Mass. beach in the summers. At the beach, my sand castles reached good size and drew big crowds and it seemed like early in the day many of the mothers would get frustrated with their kids and suggest that they "go see what that man is doing over there" just to occupy them. I ended up with 5 to 25 kids helping to build a city of canals, bridges, sand trees and Skull Mountains around my castle. When the kids noticed the tide was rising to an impending doom for all sand creations, the excitement grew to where they would moan and scream when another sand works was lost. The inevitable also included my castle which came down slowly, a roofed section or tower at a time, as each wave settled the sand at its base. With all the noise from these kids screaming after every castle section crashed into oblivion, the mothers showed up and soon there would be 30 to 50 people watching this 4 foot castle crumble into the sea, wave after wave, piece by piece, with ear piercing screams from all these kids watching the demise of the day's adventure. A man approached me once and told me he found his daughter crying one night after a beach day because she couldn't believe some guy would spend all day making a beautiful sand castle and loose it to the waves of Mother Nature. Such is life, little girl, such is life. Appropriately, I found my company name in a book of names; Elwin, which means elf friend or friend of the little people.
