May 9, 2008: Pine Needle Bear

OK, I got this in an email, so who knows the real story, but here goes.....
This is a starving artist from Idaho, named Richard Carpenter, that makes a living carving horns and antlers like these moose webs.

Pretty cool, but his most fascinating piece it this bear made from hundreds of thousands of pine needles. The pine needles were gathered off the ground, sorted, washed, trimmed and hand woven, over 8 months, in making the life size bear.






The email ends with;
Quote:
His work should be seen.
If you agree, send this to all your friends.
I know the artist would love to hear from you.
Just to know where his art is being seen around the world.
He said he would reply to every email and print every letter for his scrapbook.
You can write him here at: mntmagic@---------.net
I've emailed him, but won't post his email address until I hear from him.
