Dog in Frenchtown, NJ 2007
I saw this dog (2 dimensional) along with some others in 2007.  I thought about it because I am participating in the Flat Stanley Project.  A friend of mine's child sent me a flat cutout of herself and I am supposed to take it around with me for two weeks and record its adventures.

Hermie, Woodland in the City Olean, NY 2007
Here's another squirrel that I did not see.   Another link to the Olean squirrels is here:
Woodland in the City Locations 





Artists: Dan Brown, Art Teacher; Students: Caroline Carlson; Hannah Derwick; Amanda Fox; Samantha Heba; Tom Kirk; Konrad Morawski; Emilee Russell; Ashley Mulryan; Evan Ryan; Karen Ullman; Kelly VanBrunt; Kevin Volz
Sponsor: The Neighbors of Seneca Heights
Location: Magnano Park, South Olean


Details: Hermie was sponsored by the residents of Seneca Heights neighborhood and created by the Olean Middle School students under the direction of their art teacher, Dan Brown. It evolved as an idea to commemorate the neighborhood’s unique characteristics and the former elementary school, Hillside Elementary that once stood where Hermie now resides. Each student envisioned and created a scene that they felt represented this unique neighborhood in Olean: the school; the signature street lamp; a bald eagle.

Cutter, Woodland in the City 2007
Tuesdays are when I watch a show called Forged In Fire so I thought about this squirrel that I saw in front of a knife store in Olean, NY.



 This is from the Woodland in the City website:

Artist: Nora L. Wilson-Wheeler, Bolivar, NY
Sponsor: CUTCO Cutlery Corporation
Location: CUTCO/Ka-Bar Visitors Center, East State Street, Olean
In the Artists words: “Cutter” as he has become known to Nora and her family, was an inspiration of the sponsors’ corporate segway. With the understanding of the sponsor’s image to represent common household usage, simplicity was a basic. Their new knife the “Santuku” was her choice to represent Cutco. Not only did it look good with Cutter, but I also liked the way it felt in my hands-not to mention the performance it actually obtains in reality. Everything falls together with the placement of the acorn at his feet. After all, what else would a squirrel need a knife for?
Bio: Nora L. Wilson-Wheeler majored in Art at Cuba Central School and Graphic Arts at BOCES. She obtained an AOS Degree from Olean Business Institute. She has also published different stories, poems and compilations of local family heritage.
