Catching the Brass Ring: It's Piggie Tuesday!!

Happy Tuesday- a mild but rainy one here..and this is my offering for the day..had to take the photo outside in a chair, due to the dark weather..
This 'brass' pig is, in actuality, about 15" long and about 5" high..he would sit majestically next to my fireplace if I had one...and his 'brass ring' is his tail, which is how I lift him from the floor-he's heavy!
I got him for way too much money, at a store in Vancouver called Wonderbucks..and it is a wonder..I did a whole bunch of buying there when I still lived in that city, so my brass pig is a souvenir of those days..
like all extravagant purchases, I shouldn't have, but could not resist..besides, I make up for it with all my fabulous thrift and garage sale finds, right?
At least that's what I tell myself...

IT'S PIGGIE TUESDAY!!!!! (Yes, again...)

Hello there..
Today my offering is a bit odd (not that piggies are 'odd' per se, but...)
This is a copper/brass sculpture cut from flat stock and mounted on a bit of a stand..don't know who made it (initials R.C. on the base) but I saw it one day in a gourmet ktchen type store where I was shopping with a friend, and ranted and raved about how much I loved it..of course, got it as a gift from her at Christmas..I like it's rusty patina and the crudeness of the welded feet..I think perhaps it's supposed to be a bit of a bookend, but I just admire it ..maybe someday I'll use it for my cookbooks or something..in the mean time, here it is in all it's piggie glory..enjoy! Anyone have any piggies to share? Send 'em in and I'll post them...
