Desert Thorns

[Frank Van Atta]

Thought I would try something a little different - this is mesquite suspended on Fish Hook Cactus thorns and a little turquoise inlay to cover worm holes. ~2 1/2" tall. C & C welcome.

If you wanted different you got it! Neat look and those legs make it look alive! Straight out of the sci-fi movies!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Now that is cool! Love the imagination!

[Steve Vaughan]

Very, very cool. A+ on creativity!

[bob svoboda]

Agree with very cool! Nicely done, Frank.

[Dan Forman]

Very inventive! Wouldn't want to fall on one of those cacti!

[dan carter]

The legs change it entirely. Very good.

[Paul Douglass]

I really like that. Looks like an ancient artifact. Possibly from the middle east. Nice work

[Keith Westfall]

What if you turned the legs the other way around? Points in.

Diffidently different!

[Jim Burr]

Those are great Frank!!! look like little aliens!! Turquoise and thorn work are absolutely amazing!!! Big WELL DONE!!

[Richard Madden]

Very different and very imaginative. I like it!

[John Keeton]

Frank, that is very, very creative!! Really a neat piece. I am totally unfamiliar with the Fish Hook Cactus, and I am pretty sure I don't want to get close enough to one to find out more!:eek:

[Scott Lux]

I really like that. We have a barrel cactus that has thorns like that. Might have to steal your idea...

[Mark Hubl]

Interesting piece for sure. I like the use of the cactus thorns.

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Live the innovation, Frank. Well done.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Frank that is a really cool piece. It is interesting and like the legs.

[Curt Fuller]

Those are some wicked looking thorns but they sure make great looking legs for that piece.

[Jerry Marcantel]

Well done, Frank...Jerry (in Tucson)

[David E Keller]

Very cool! As the others have said, the legs make the piece.

[Frank Van Atta]

What if you turned the legs the other way around? Points in.

Diffidently different!

I may try that the next time around. I can't turn these around because they're glued in.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and thoughts.

[Kathy Marshall]

Very creative use of natural materials! I never would have thought to do something like that, but it really works!

[Ron Stadler]

Those thorns are radical, holy cow, I thought those were rebar shape and sharpened on the ends. But anyway, nice touch to your project, looks nice.

Ditto Baxter's comment. I thought I had accidentally clicked to a scfi site.:eek: Looks great too.
