When Pigs Fly

$250.00

When Pigs Fly is inspired by a saying my stepfather used often—one we’ve all heard a time or two: “Yeah, when pigs fly.”

The body started life as an old farm air tank, appropriately known around the farm as an “air pig.” From there, the rest seemed inevitable. Barn wood became wings, old pruning shears became legs, meat grinder parts became eyes, and a porcelain piece formed the nose.

It was a fun piece to build and is dedicated to my stepfather and a phrase that always stuck with me. This particular pig did eventually learn to fly—all the way to Texas, where it now resides.

Turns out, sometimes pigs really do fly.
