The Wonderful World of Tom Haney

The correct answer for the challenge was Crocodile Dundee -- congrats to all! Now for today, I came across these kinetic sculptures by Tom Haney and wanted to share them with you. They are wonderful pieces and entirely hand crafted; all of the figures are hand carved and sculpted. Not only does he create all the figures himself he makes them move mechanically. I can only imagine the amount of time it takes to create one of these pieces. The level of detail in his work just amazes me and the creativity delights! But to really get the full effect of this artwork you must visit his website and watch them in action, they are incredibly charming!

Kinetic Wood Sculpture

If you guessed Mrs. Doubtfire for the movie trivia you were correct! Congratulations you're getting too good at these. Now on to today -- I love these moving wooden sculptures by the artist David C. Roy. They are not only beautiful handcrafted sculptures, but once in motion they become an ever changing piece of art filled with joy and amusement! I especially love the one below, Journey, when in motion it reminds me of a beautiful bird in graceful flight. If you'd like to get an idea of what they look like in motion check out the video below or go to his website Wood That Works.
