I met this pig today at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Odd and abandoned craft projects are pretty much my reason for living (along with partner, child, nature, and art). I experienced a serious moment of recognition. Mutual, I like to think. This pig would simply be quaint if it weren't for the googly eyes, which make the pig.
Here's a detail of a garage sale lamp from a few years back - broken plates and buttons cast in yellow.
