Do you find it hard to find really unique, local handmade gifts?
Leo Brooks of Treefrog Percussion creates one-of-a-kind music boxes from the wood leftover after building his handmade instruments. You get to choose from over 30 songs to personalize the music box. He also creates small handmade wooden boxes and decorative ornaments in order to use up every piece of gorgeous wood.
Love these! Leo is sooooooo talented!
Thanks for the compliment Bridget,
But I really feel my talents pale next to yours.
Funny coincidence to tell you about – Our neighbor’s sister is getting married and met you at a Bridal show. She went to your website and saw our film, then forwarded it on to our neighbor saying “Don’t these people live next door to you?” In any case she totally loved it, and like almost everyone who sees it, was crying by the end.
Hi Leo! Our big city is sometimes so small and it’s so nice to hear when people enjoy what I do. Personally, making a film about your family was so much fun and definitely a highlight of last year. And I love sharing it with people 🙂
Thanks for doing this Anne-Marie. Amazing photos as always!
Love the photos you picked from the overall shoot Anne-Marie. You really capture the beauty of the wood and craftsmanship in these little treasures. Yes, I know, looks like shameless self-promotion coming from the wife of the craftsman…
But really, seeing your photos of the music boxes inspired me pick up my own box and take a closer looks at the amazing variety of colours and textures in the different woods and grains.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks so much Leo, Mary and Bridget! Hugs!!!
