These two charming gentlmen were made by my mother, from paper, fabric, bits of string, wool, and modelling compound. She says they shaped themselves as she was making them, not having a clear idea of how they should look beforehand. I think they are inspired and full of character. I especially like the bundle of wood that reminds me of the line in the carol, "when a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel".
