I painted this several "Wednesdays" ago, but forgot to share it. And when I was taking a picture of it I forgot to take one that showed exactly what it is. It's a drop spindle.
This picture really doesn't show them that well either...and looking at it now I see that I'd forgotten to completely tighten down the hooks after they dried. This picture was from the November Kentucky Shepherd's Market. I am nailing this marketing thing!
I just love these colorful spindles. I especially love to spin with them. As the spindles twirl they look like kaleidoscopes. The spindles on the bottom picture are just generic sheep. The spindle in the first picture is a custom order with Pinto, Short Round, Tabitha and Maggie.
It's hard to beat spinning with your friends...and actually spinning your friends. The roving the spindle is nestled down into is some of Tabitha's. I'm glad it has good home :-).

Pretty!
In the top pic the hook from our angle looks like a bunny head.
You are so clever. I wish I were, but I'm not
All kinds of art going on in that photo! You're so talented. The weaving on the basket is really nice too.
I guarantee that the special drop spindle has a loving home.
