Rufftons, my forest friends





Introducing my little forest friends. these are my weakness, I really enjoy doing these little fellows. when I first started them I wanted to do something as a tribute to all my elders, my parents, my grandparents and uncles and aunts that have passed on, when I was a child we played in the woods surrounding my grandparents home.My cousins, my brother, nephew & niece had rather play in the woods (pretending to be in forts,castles and rodeo arenas ) than playing with expensive toys. We played everywhere, in the creeks, and up in the trees. Imagine these little gnome like forest friends watching and keeping an eye on us. It takes an imagination and as you can see I am full of imagination.. I was raised and still live at the same place in Rutherfordton, I call these little guys RUFFTONS short for our home town. keep an eye out for these popping up around town.
