Tool Bouquet

Tool Bouquets, below, used as sconces.

.

Begun with rot, aka beloved use, these tools are prophets with honor in Susanne Hudson's garden.

.

For centuries mankind honored the connection of tool to Earth as life sustainer.

.

Betty Friedan  wrote about the 1st generation of women disconnected from hand-to-tool-to-soil.

.

Their children would not learn the names of farm tools, their use, how to raise livestock, plant crops, cook, care take others, much less know how to feed their own spirit.  Bugs & weeds, instead of pollinators increasing crop yield, became poisoned inconveniences.

.

Their children played in clouds of malathion as evening trucks fogged mosquitoes.

.

(No time to rewrite, for this era, Friedan's work, back to tools.....)

Study Susanne's art of tool arrangement.  She's the best.

An exquisite wedding planner, Susanne treats Tool Bouquet's exactly like flower arranging.

.

It's easier to find designer clothes at a thrift store than old tools.

.

I'm always on the hunt for old tools.  And, seeing walls, inside or out, needing a Tool Bouquet.
