I was told they got these in China. There were 2 more. One was bigger, and one was smaller. I wanted the smaller one too but didn't have the cash.KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792617397718781026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634856836748530964.post-63642418191155787362010-01-13T17:01:01.690-08:002010-01-13T17:01:01.690-08:00I have a collection, about 15, of these skeleton b...I have a collection, about 15, of these skeleton bone carvings. They're in all different poses. I buy them in New York when I visit. They're really quite nice. I believe they're made in New Mexico.<br /><br />Where did you pick up this one? Do they have any more?<br /><br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br />RMiles7336@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634856836748530964.post-10277015780050331882010-01-11T12:05:48.721-08:002010-01-11T12:05:48.721-08:00It's true, they work practically for free by o...It's true, they work practically for free by our standards. $100 even sounds high. They sold me a 6 foot tall scroll with a hand painted tiger as big as me, and it was $20. As dumb as it sounds, I remember at the time thinking "I don't know. Twenty bucks is a lot."KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792617397718781026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634856836748530964.post-74668614435307076502010-01-11T06:59:33.734-08:002010-01-11T06:59:33.734-08:00nice post! that carving is absolutely amazing. i r...nice post! that carving is absolutely amazing. i read an article in the New Yorker a couple of months ago about how artists in china are painting masterpieces for very very cheap. Like $100 gets you a beautiful oil painting of any scene you want. it was very interesting as is this post. i can't think of the last thing i bought or saw that was made in america. i did recently see a commercial for a KIA car that now has a plant in the US, which seems odd to me...Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778059633807688591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634856836748530964.post-35948381595040442382010-01-10T16:36:59.941-08:002010-01-10T16:36:59.941-08:00Corporations that demand the highest possible prof...Corporations that demand the highest possible profits<br />+<br />Consumers who demand the lowest possible prices<br />=<br />Products made by cheap overseas labor.<br /><br />It's a pretty simple equation.

The carver guy probably has really small fingers too.<br /><br />Hey, that's right! the only thing we still make here is restaurant food. Maybe that's what I can bring to my In-laws next time.KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792617397718781026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634856836748530964.post-5444615113557194582010-01-10T12:52:17.947-08:002010-01-10T12:52:17.947-08:00About the only thing we make well anymore is big, ...About the only thing we make well anymore is big, fat, greasy, carb-busting McRatalds quarter-pounders ("super-size that for you sir?").<br />Well, Keith, at least YOU make beautiful works of art with your cartoons and drawings!

Just say "Job well done" and suck it up, Nancy. Do better in the next round (which my beloved USA ain't doing <i>as of yet</i>). Anyway, how in the hell did the artist carve that? With what tools? Amazing! As you say, to damn bad it isn't human bone, but then that might open up a whole 'nother can of worms about its horrible origins that would in all likelihood not be even close to PC.-- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.com
