Kokopelli

[wombatie]

This is a Sue Mey pattern but I changed the base because I didn't like the big large round base I prefer the smaller oval one.  The base is pine and Kokopelli is blackheart sassafras.  This one is for me, I have loved this little fellow every since I first saw him about 20 years ago.

He’s really cute Marg. Well done.

Love him, I agree I like the smaller base better.  Great job.

Nice stand, Marge.  I am also a Kokopelli fan.   Can't remember when I wasn't.  Partly because I like to say the name... Makes me smile.  Good thing I had my kids before I knew of him,,,,, my son may have been named Kokopelli!!

Nice work Marg, he is an interesting little guy for sure!

[Rockytime]

Very nice! I must have been born in a barn. I never heard of the little fella.

[ben2008]

Really cute. Very nice.

[Dave Monk]

Nice job Marg!

[Old Joe]

Careful. Kokopelli is known to be a mischief maker, especially known to bring fertility.

Love that Marg. Came out great.

Great job, Marg!
I am a big fan also and have several patterns but,
for some reason, I think the only kokopelli items I have
ever made are ornaments.
I'll have to remedy that and make some kokopelli projects.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Would love to see your ornaments Bob.

I'll have to go through my photos and see if I remembered to even photograph those.
Small items like that don't get as much attention as the elaborate fretwork or intarsia
patterns so, sometimes I forget to get the pics before I give them away.

God Bless! Spirithorse

I really like it. My son used to have one on the back window of his truck, hiking, I think. I've always liked them too but never knew much about their meaning. Makes a cool phone holder.

Hi, @wombatie

This isn't a very good pic but, the kokopelli is in the bottom, left hand corner, facing away from the camera.
I don't recall who the designer was but, am pretty sure they came from the old Creative Woodworks and Crafts
magazine.
If I can locate the designer, I'll pass the info along.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Oops! I forgot to add the image! I found an ad for Scroller LTD magazine that lists this pattern set as 7408SH and just called Arrowhead Ornaments but, could not find it on the Scroller website any more.  There were a set of 12 SouthWest design slotted ornaments.

Now if that isn't a twist. I've never like this guy no idea why but this one I've learned to like a lot at first glance. Real fine job of it Marg you've got all bases covered!!!!
