Jackrabbit 4 Whirligig + Vollis Simpson

Item: Mr. Jackrabbit is making his way through the art department which seems to be holding up production but doing nicely on the project. Donna is once again adding the artist touch to complete the "Jackrabbit". Look for more of Whimsy Two at http://www.whimsytwo.etsy.com/.

Working at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Repair and Conservation Project is an occasion to notice the materials that are used in the creation of his whirligigs and some commonality such as the stainless steel tail vane seen on the top one at the Library and the apparent bread or food molds seen on the second on which is at the Paul Berry Park. Where did they originate from?
Here is an interesting photo of some hands made by an artist for Vollis who's handshake at 92 is still one that is not soon forgotten.
