Travisty’s Beard
Goro Fujita , who I wrote about in 2008, was kind enough to write and let me know about a new blog called Travisty’s Beard .

Eyfells Sculpture Creation Expressi...Johann Eyfells has hundreds of these sculptures all over his ten acre yard. They are quite a sight. I noticed them from driving by and had to turn in and explore these forms.
