Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! sterling silver I'd guess it was once

I'd guess it was once mounted on an outdoor wall somewhere

such that their arms and legs can be moved a bit

with a little wear to the box

and perhaps a crown of red hair too

often decorated with geometric motifs as was this one

Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! sterling silver I'd guess it was onceI purchased a handful of works done (and all signed, some twice!) by the young Carol who made this booklet quite a good many years ago, and I think it's my favorite of the lot for the pumpkin on the cover, yes, but especially for the less showy potato and expressionistic watermelon! 5 3 4" x 4 3 8". Pages are held together with greenish thread pulled through two small holes in the paper and tied in a bow. Cover shows a little staining pencil smudging
