Mid Century Sun-like Folk Trivet antler carved bird but the size of thisI realize now that popsicle stick and wooden bead trivets (and even bowls) were once a thing but when I came across this I thought it was, completely on its own terms, a very beautiful and immensely satisfying construction! I am also certainly feeling a good deal of nostalgia for my 1970s childhood, and this feels like 60s 70s granola goodness incarnate in the best of ways. I might call it mid century modern tramp and it feels like sunshine. 9 3 4" d.
