Queen's Park Carving
I love to discover carvings on the older buildings in the city and Queen's Park which is the location of our provincial government is a treasure trove of wonderful examples. The pink sandstone is so lovely when carved as in this example. This is probably a lost art now!
What a lovely detail! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust think, you can't really rub out a mistake and start again!
ReplyDeleteI wonder... any significance to the interwoven design?
ReplyDeleteThese days they make a plastic mold and glue it on. Nobody, sadly, really values artisans anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt is like following a maze keeping track of the lines.. I think it is a lost art, so we should save all that we find.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love finding things this too! Great find.
ReplyDeleteSo intricate!
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right Pat, that's why it's so very special when you find one. The pink sandstone is visually very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how old this is as it appears to be in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous. Not a lost art, sadly it is just that no one is willing to pay for it anymore Easier to get something mass produced from China.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fine detail, RedPat.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice sign in toronto! I'm liking the detail and the originality!
