Transwheeler came to me in the mail as a motorcycle ad. As a kid I got to ride with my big brother's friend and nearly learned to drive one myself. Lessons were cut short when the cycle was sold.
Transwheeler took shape from cycle photo pieces.

Night Garden

This lovely lady is so proud of her healthy night garden with grapes, broccoli, fish and crackers.
I found her on a box of crackers and the garden on a box of fish. Set on a background of styrofoam packaging, originally containing liver, I think they make an attractive addition to my collection. What do you think?
