A Cairn Studio artwork of Timothy Wolfe's collection "Tracks". This one is "Scrap". For years, man has credited the red fox with amazing feats of intelligence and cunning. We have even coined such phrases as "sly as a fox" and "clever as a fox." While he may not be the intellectual giant that legend and folklore would have us be- lieve, one fact remains true: the red fox does look intelligent! Sly and elusive, yet hand- somely dressed in an orange-red coat with black leggings and a magnificent tail tipped in white, the red fox has everything it takes for the making of legends. As we speak, Scrap is probably scheming his next raid on the hen house or planning a new trick for throwing hounds off his trail(he takes great sat- isfaction in the latter and can think of no better sport). He also enjoys a good rabbit chase now and again--that is, when it doesn't involve that pesky fellow named Briar. The number for this piece is "3", dated 1993. It measures 5-1/2" tall and 4" in diam- eter. It is in excellent, like-new condition. The Certificate of Authenticity from Cairn Studio, Ltd. is not included.
A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes collection personally signed by Tom Clark. This one is "Secret". He is about 100 years old and has decided it is time to get married. Being shy and fearful of rejection, Secret has picked a marigold and begun playing the game "she loves me, she loves me not.." The butterfly saw Secret pulling the petals off the marigold and wanted to stop him. Being the message carrier for Gnomes and Woodspirits, the butterfly knew the answer to Secret's question. So the butterfly flew to his ear and told him the "secret" What was it? Only Mugmon thinks he knows for sure. The coin is Norwegian. The number for this piece is "60", dated 1983. It measures 7-3/4" tall and 3-1/2" in diameter. It is in excellent, like-new condition. A Certificate of Authenticity from Cairn Studio, Ltd. is included.

A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes collection. This one is "Speedy".

Speedy is holding a life- saver for luck as he negotiates this sharp turn, but his expression says that he's not going to make it around the dog-leg.

A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes collection. This one is "Swabbie". One of five Woodspirits showing their support for the brave men and women of the armed forces. Together, they salute the five branches of the United States military; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Each Woodspirit has pickets in front of him to symbolize that he stands behind "De-Fense." They were created during the Persian Gulf crisis February of 1991. Beginning in 1992, these fellows will don patriotic red, white, and blue ribbons. For now, however, they each display a yellow ribbon to say to those who serve their country, "We're thinking of you and want you to come home soon.". The U.S. Navy emblem in front of Swabbie reminds him of his favorite marching song, "Anchors Aweigh." The seashells and shark's tooth are souvenirs from sailors, or bluejackets, who joined the Navy to see the world. Swabbie found a button from a naval officer's uniform, and a coin depicting a ram, the mascot of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Behind Swabbie is a commemorative coin honoring one of the Navy's most famous ships, the "Constitution", nicknamed "Old Iron- Sides". His dime shows Franklin D.

A Cairn Studio artwork of Tim Wolfe's Tracks collection. This one is "Sylvia". Flying squirrels are strictly nocturnal, that is, they sleep all day and play all night. Only after everyone else has gone to bed for the evening, so Sylvia and her fel- low gliders awaken to begin their aerial nighttime frolics. The term flying squirrel is actually a mis- nomer because these mammals do not fly, they glide. Their unusual mode of locomotion is made possible by the loose membrane of skin attached to the squirrel's wrists and ankles. By stretching this skin taut, the animal transforms itself into a miniature sail plane, capable of swooping with the air currents for consid- erable distances from tree to tree. At eight weeks old however, Sylvia has just recently begun to experiment with her gliding abilities, making only short jumps to nearby branches. Some of her first attempts at longer glides resulted in unexpected crash landings, but this aspiring pilot has high hopes, and Sylvia is confident that she'll get the hang of it soon. Just before dusk, she enjoys sneaking down to the nearby beach. Here, Sylvia takes a front row seat to watch the veteran gliders, and dreams of the night when she, too, will fly through the air with the greatest of ease. The number for this piece is "38", dated 1991. It is in excellent, like-new condition. He measures 3" tall, 2-1/2" wide. The certificate of Authenticity is not included.

The base is covered in brown, red, and green leaves with scattered acorns. The number for this piece is "66", dated 1987. It is in ex- cellent, like-new condition. He measures 6" tall, 6-1/4" long, and 3" wide.
