Indian Chase, Vollis Simpson Whirligig Project, Wrens

Item: Upcoming for the Whimsy Two Etsy shop is the Indian marble chase with some art that escapes the form. That's a term heard on the Antiques Roadshow about a hand carved walking stick so here is an attempt to add some figures for a marble chaser to include the Thunderbird, bison, and an arrow head (yet to be made in the manspace). And there is a ding from the metallic badge off the last rail. No two alike, not found in stores, not seen on TV - the X-Box of it's day. I think the Indian logo that Donna's Art did in her art space is awesome.
Work at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Project in Wilson Downtown is making progress. The building got some paint but not the whirligigs. Here are two bicycle items. The large one has the rear wheel power the pedals and legs in reverse order from a windmill at the back. The Velocipede powers the pedals directly from the wheel.

Is this an Orchard Oriole as the Dutchess prefers or a Varied Thrush as Ol' Red suggests?

An Oriole, I'm sure.
The whirlygigs are looking great!
