Wild Stallion Thimble
Designed 2005
-----------
Several of my recent thimbles have taken of a more sculptural quality. The
Wild Stallion thimble is a miniature statue. The setting is the American
south west. A young stallion is savoring the thrill of the moment. He is
leaping and spinning in whirlwind of motion. The thimble itself is a rock
ledge. Native plants include a beaver tail cactus and a century plant.
An old log is lies by the wayside. It is a silent reminder that youth is
to be savored. A rattle snake crawls quietly below experiencing a different
moment. The inside of the thimble contains a hidden treasure, the desert
rose.
