remember Boo? 
they've got friends ...
the ghostly spirit collection!
Created from one of nature's most unique woods, my cypress knees come from Coushatta, LA. Cypress knees are distinctive structures that protrude from the root of a cypress tree. Their function is unknown, but they are generally seen in swamps in the southern U.S. Some scientists believe they may help in 'snorkeling' oxygen down to the submerged root of the cypress tree and assist in anchoring the tree in the soft muddy soil. Other scholars suggest that the 'knees' provided vital protection to the tree against dinosaurs during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (hmmm, who thinks of these things). My supplier follows timber companies that harvest adult cypress trees and has no use for the knees and discards them. I only enhance and unlock the spirits that are born from these discarded knees.
Boo is up at the top. The creation on the left has three ghostly spirits formed from one cypress knee, a pumpkin jack-o-lantern tower, a Senor Meow and a few bats - Los Tres Amigos! Painted in acrylics, stained and sealed,

Boo is up at the top. The creation on the left has three ghostly spirits formed from one cypress knee, a pumpkin jack-o-lantern tower, a Senor Meow and a few bats - Los Tres Amigos! Painted in acrylics, stained and sealed, it stands 19" tall.
The creation on the right is called "Girlz Nite Out". Three feminine spirits complete with their long eye lashes, luscious lips, glitzy necklaces, black cat, bats and jack-o-lanterns. A unique triple point cypress knee, almost 22" at it's tallest point. Signed and dated.
