Friday Folly

No silly pictures this time. Just some silly words that I came across in an old Signals catalog I found while I cleaning in the studio.
Scintillate, scintillate asteroid manikin
(A multi-syllabic version of Twinkie Twinkle Little Star.)
Missiles of ligneous or petrous consistency
have the potential of fracturing my gaseous structure,
but appellations will eternal remain innocuous.

Airhead or Sieve?

Have you ever had one of THOSE weeks? The kind of week where you wonder if your brain decided to take a vacation and forgot to tell you? My week certainly started out that way.
Whenever I have one of those days or weeks, I hear Thomas Dolby singing “She’s an airhead” or “My [...]

Bats in the Belfry

Last summer we had a mouse that built a nest in our BBQ several times. One time I opened the cabinet doors on the BBQ and found a toad sitting inside the doorframe. We’ve even found a toad clinging to the inside of the patio table umbrella.
But a bat was the last animal [...]

Whoever said…

…that art is glamorous hasn’t used a buffing wheel.

Goggles, a mask, and thou… (and I hate those little fuzzies inside the mask.)
Lets see your “art isn’t glamorous” shots. Take a picture of yourself working on your art, on the less glamorous aspect of art, post it on your blog and link back to this [...]

Post Show Hangover

The days after a show are like having a hangover; a post show hangover without the bed spins or dry mouth.  The excitement and nervousness that builds prior to a show has dissipated.  Whatever inventory remains has been repacked and not necessarily in the order it went to the show.  The table coverings aren’t folded [...]

The Urban Playground Movement

The Boston event is organized by Banditos Misteriosos.  Banditos also organized The Silent Dance Experiment in February.  At that event [...]

Quotable Monday

As you slide down the banisters of life,
may the splinters never point the wrong way.

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind,
a roof for the rain,
a warm cup of tea by the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all that your heart might desire.

Flylady

Ah March, when thoughts turn to daffodils and tulips; when the herons return to the rookery and raise their babies; when you look at the pile of magazines you’ve collected over the winter, the dust bunnies breeding under the furniture, and the stack of winter clothes ready for donation and you think:
TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING!
Okay, [...]
