This post is on more of Kelly’s artwork in the Wolseley Gallery. But first a little history lesson on knives🔪
The knife is one of humanity’s oldest tools, dating back to atleast 2.5 million years. The early humans chipped rocks like flint and obsidian to use for hunting.
By 3000 BC, the Bronze Age introduced soft metals which could be shaped but dulled quickly.
By 1200 BC, the Iron Age had harder metals that rusted easily.
By 300 BC the Romans, developed the earliest known folding pocket knive. These featured a iron blade, folding spike, fork, spatula and a toothpick!! Must have been a pretty big knife!!
the 1300’s and 1500’s European companies started making kitchen and utility tools.
In 1913, Harry Beatles invented stainless steel, which stopped the rusting problems and improved manufacturing methods.
Then by the 2000’s with advanced powder metallurgy and modern locking methods, high performance pocket and tactical knives were produced.( Tactical knives are those multi purpose tools used by the military and law enforcement)

This post is about model airplanes ✈️.
The history of model planes spans thousands of years - the oldest known model was found during an excavation of an Egyptian burial ground in 1898. The model was dated back to 200 BC, was 6 inches long and had wings. Hard to imagine they knew about aircraft then, but they did build the pyramids!
In the 1500’s, Leonardo da Vinci sketched detailed designs for flying machines.
By 1871, French pioneer Alphonse Penaud built a rubber powered model airplane with stable dihidral wings. ( I’ll let you look that one up 😳)
By 1903, the Wright brothers achieve powered human flight.
Between the 1920’s and 30’s, after Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight, commercial model kits of balsa wood and tissue paper were available.
In the 1940’s, during World War 2, the military used models for aircraft recognition.
After the 1950’s, plastic model kits were available and easy to access.
Here at the Wolseley Gallery, we have 2 model airplanes, made by Kelly.
These miniature detailed models are handmade and hand painted, one of a kind unique art. A perfect gift for an airplane model collector, or a vintage aviation lover.

Are you or someone you know a memomagnetist?? It’s sounds pretty bad but it’s easy to tell - just look at your fridge! That’s what they call people who collect fridge magnets.
Refrigerator magnets were first invented in the 1950’s and 60’s, and are one of the most popular travel souvenirs. They tend to be small, inexpensive and come in a huge variety of themes.
But did you know that now many modern fridges aren’t
magnetic as they are made of non-magnetic austenetic stainless steel. 😢 So that means that if you are shopping for a new fridge, you had better take a magnet with you to test before you buy the fridge. Nothing worse that having a hundred fridge magnets and no fridge to put them on.
Here at the Wolseley Gallery we have a lovely selection of fridge magnets- hand painted, clip art, cross stitch, and in the future will have hand painted porcelain ones.
Come check them out🤗

Greeting cards began in ancient Chinese and Egyptian times, when they shared New Years messages on papyrus scrolls.
In Germany in the 1400s, they used woodcut blocks to print New Years wishes on paper.
By 1415 people began exchanging love notes.
In 1843 the first Xmas cards were created in London, England. Then cheaper postal rates and new printing methods made it affordable for everyone. Cards got fancier in Victorian times, and lace and flower images were common.
By the 20th century, large companies like Hallmark turned card making into a world wide industry. By the 21st century electronic and digital cards became common.
Nowadays there is a huge variety of cards available- commercial, digital or handmade for every occasion or event.
Here in the Wolseley Gallery we have a great variety of unique cards. Here’s some pictures of some of them. Come in and check them out,🤗

Today we are moving from jewelry to carpentry, mainly handsaws!
Handsaws were invented soon after the discovery of copper, in the Middle East, about 4000 years ago. The early Egyptians carpenters used copper saws, and the Cretans used bronze ones in about 1600 BC.
The Greeks and Egyptians replaced them with iron saws, then in the 17th century Holland developed the process of rolling wide steel stripes , which greatly simplified things. The saw teeth were originally developed as pullout teeth or push out teeth. 🤔😵‍💫
The saw is probably the most popular tool in the world, featuring in every trades persons tool kit.
But what do you do with old saws- why paint them and turn them into a piece of art🤗🤗
And our Bernadine has done a beautiful job on each one of these saws. Each one a piece of art on an old vintage used saw!!
All indoor/outdoor saws are cleaned, primed, painted and top-coated, and make great gifts for the person who has everything

Wire wrapping is one of the oldest jewelry making techniques, going back 4000 years to ancient Egypt. Wire wrapped pieces have been found in the tombs of ancient Pharaohs. Gold, silver and copper were the common metals used.
In Greece and Rome , jewelers made delicate lace like work, the Celts made complex interlocking knotwork, and the Vikings braided and twisted wire for heavy rings and bracelets. Today wire wrapping remains a popular jewelry making technique. These pedants combine stunning wire wrapping with unique stones.
