Nelles Studio

Having twin toddlers, I have a lot of toys in my house.  Sometimes, I find myself pausing to look at the toys, feeling nostalgic and remembering the good old days of childhood. 

I walked by Scott Nelles' booth at a wholesale craft show back in Feb and was immediately drawn to his whimsical bronze sculptures (some are coin banks!).  His pieces are playful, yet they carry a level of sophistication that I like.  I thought the sculptures would bring a sense of humor to the gallery, and fill a niche that I felt was missing in my store.  

His collection includes a flying piggy bank (on wheels), 'Bob' the robot, cars, and even a cowboy on bass fish!  Yee-haw!
