John Barany – Smokers


These incense-burning figurines are made of 2 pieces, approximately 4 x 10”, lathe-carved and hollowed from various woods. The hollow top piece conducts the smoke and the smoldering incense cone sits on the metal disk in the bottom piece. Place the lit cone on the disk, set the top on and incense wafts out of the mouth and fills the air with your favorite aroma. Each comes with a box of cones.

“Zeldenia, Glinda’s Sister”
$175


She comes from the east and joins a ‘good’ sister, her mirrored opposite.

Everything good/sweet/kind, Z hates and declines. And she’s ready to fly tonight, Halloween ‘24. Working mischief across the globe, she might be hacking Ukraine IT so Putin can target the power supply. She’s onto the US election and knows the Economist has just endorsed Kamala. Look out Kami! To Biden, she’s said “Ghost me and I’ll put you in the freezer.” And she did just that—-seen him lately? Oh, yes, and she hexed the moon into causing last week’s giant solar flares that sent the Northern Lights as far down as Seattle.

Ok, it’s really a German Smoker (12”X3”) and I just got her done and puffing incense.

“UW Fan“

It’s play day right after Halloween and the football comes out all over this country of ours. Whether you’re a hi-schooler turning out after school, a grampa showing her how to throw a spiral, or a fan on the way to Seattle to see the Hawks, the paraphernalea is everywhere, the aura is electric, exciting! This guy is ready.
