CLUSTER OF FLOWERS
MADE OF FINGER NAILS
Fish Bones and Scales and Onion Peel
ings Wrought Into Things
of Beauty.

One Of the most remarkable museums
in the world is TO be seen in the Hum
berside village of Easington, close by
the famous lighthouse of Spurn- In this
solitary spot sits an artist workman, a
Mr.. Loten, whose materials are finger
nails toenails. and the bones, eyes, and
scales of the homely herring. All these
things the strange artist takes in hand,
and manipulates until they become
beautifully wrought sprays of flowers.
For other queer things he has wonder
full uses. In this museum of curiOsities
may be seen choice specimens Of orna-
mentation made from eggsheIls, onion
Feelings. and old postage stamps, but
the gem of the collection is a spray of
forget-me-nots made from fnsernails
Loten's friends allowed their nails to
grow that they might be transformed
into flowers
Lying on a background OF black vel
vet, and incased in glass, is a cluster OF
daisies built out Of nails.
When the artist began 20 apply him
self to the work of constructing objects
Of beauty from apparently impossible
material. he first tried what could be
done with onion peel: then came his
second manner. with fish bones and
scales. the bones being transformed into
lifelike chrysanthemums. as lovely in
their way as the tiny birds nest con-
structed OF onion Feelings.
Wheat, straw. and postage stamps
served mis- purpose equally we'll A heap
OF stamps becomes a cluster Of blackber
ries, the fruit showing all the delicate
gradations of color from early green TO
ripened purple. Sprigs Of heather from
stamps are so cunningly devised that
few people would discover from ordi-
nary observation. that they are not real,
while other wonders are worked with
butterfly wings.
Loten was once taxidermist. and
naturally stuffed birds and animals have
a place in his museum, but the artist
eomposes his groups with something Of
