I don't believe this basket has many years on it

I am not sure if this alms box ever turned up again in his work

I keep thinking of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz when I look at him

Jesus Is Love Handmade Wooden Cross, with Great Backside Too repetitive " by Edward JohnstonI am not the least bit religious, but I deeply love this thing. And, these days, when religion is invoked to support actions that seem to be embody anything but love, I find it super poignant. The deep care and humanity invested in its making perfectly matches its sentiment, and the back side, which shows several prior attempts to get it right before turning it over to try again is, I think, about as good and heartbreakingly true as it gets. LOVE.
