Geometrical Green and Natural Wood Bendy Trivet articulated wooden Pinocchio A few months ago I

A few months ago I found the metal skeleton of a wind-up bear toy just like this one--a very beautiful thing in its stripped down state

There are small pin holes in all four corners and a tiny fold mark in the card-stock at bottom left

maybe filled with a few bags of dried beans just waiting to be cooked

I found these little old squirrel hair brushes at an antique shop in New Hampshire and just thought they were great looking

Geometrical Green and Natural Wood Bendy Trivet articulated wooden Pinocchio A few months ago IThough the wood is very well worn and green stain has faded, I really love this old trivet, which seems to be held together (still very tautly) in its grid by elastic threads, as it is satisfyingly bendy. If not to be used as a trivet, it could serve as a board for so some sort of modified version of checkers! I think I'd keep it on the kitchen counter to use all of the time; it just makes me happy and feels super home y. 6" x 6" x 3 16".
