Yakity Yak is my 2018 Sweetest Little Thing submission. It’s made from old guitar strings, a bit of ply wood (some covered in wallpaper and some stained for the trophy mount), a small bit of cardboard, an even smaller bit of aluminum, and needle felted wool surrounding the obligatory teeth (made from dead lighter parts).

Sweetest Little Thing is an annual Valentines day art auction in Sackville NB, in support of both the Owens Art Gallery (where it’s held) and Struts Gallery and Faucet Media Art Centre. Locally, it’s a fun family friendly party (replete with a cakewalk), but even if you are from afar, you can participate by submitting you high bid online, and have proxy bidders win that art for you!
