Charming Carved and Painted Folk Art Lumberjack stencil colored playing cards the other with the flower

the other with the flower and stamen pointing downward

is plenty large to command a shelf

I might keep these on the desk to bring some levity to even the worst work day

though as I look at them now the bodies of flies as so similar

There is a bit of variation in the brightness of the stock

Charming Carved and Painted Folk Art Lumberjack stencil colored playing cards the other with the flowerI really love this guy, right down to the fact that he probably lost a pipe along the way, leaving him with a wide open mouth that looks as if it might be shouting "timberrrrr!"

Wonderfully crude, perfectly aged, and feels to me most likely done by a Canadian folk artist in the 1970s or 80s or so. 6 3 8" t x 2" w x 1 5 8", in
