Description

This item is the size of a basketball and the print is on both sides.


Albert Eizenveldt, poet / cartoonist / museum curator at The Imagination Workshop has an amazing collection!  


Built from castaway useless pieces of trees (knots/galls/cankers) a vast "family" of inner children from the trees was created, many with poems &  stories. Most all are two-sided like the "eyes" sample shown and vary in size from inches to several feet.


I Am A Tree’s Clock


I am a clock and my ticking is going to stop-


my inside wheels are going slower & slower


and my hands with clenching fingers


will then write no more.


I hope but know what I’ll leave to remember,


what my clock’s tocking will show,


so as I sit here beside this giant Maple tree


aand pen the words you now read,


I sorta hope they stay in your mind,


and not have them shredded but stay rhymed,


or just swept up after being strewed on a floor.


See, my friend…


my inner child of wood here shown,


may or may not find a kindred home…


maybe they’ll join me in a pencil powered rite,


nestled in comfy soft clouds for us ever to write.
