Touching your goodness, I am like a man
Who turns a letter over in his hand
And you might think that this was because the hand
Was unfamiliar but, truth is, the man
Has never had a letter from anyone;
And now he is both afraid of what it means
And ashamed because he has no other means
To find out what it says than to ask someone.
His uncle could have left the farm to him,
Or his parents died before he sent them word,
Or the dark girl changed and want him for beloved.
Afraid and letter-proud, he keeps it with him.
What would you call his feeling for the words
that keep him rich and orphaned and beloved?

This DIY is so easy and so much fun, perfect way to create a little winter wonderland!
And it's free to make! Take a little walk and gather some botanical treasures from around you. That takes care of the materials you will need!
If you live in a cold winter climate, these easy and pretty ice lanterns will look gorgeous on your door steps. If you live in a warm climate like I do, don't let that be a reason to stop you from experiencing the fun and magic, however long it lasts!

Down by the station I found this “unaccompanied package” sitting on the platform; a small bag full of envelopes. A sign on the bag read, “Please don’t remove. Property of WSEC road rally.” Aha, a road rally! Road rallying is a sport where individual cars are sent off on a timed course on public streets where drivers gain points by 1) sticking to the route, and 2) keeping as close to the times required to get between points. The timing is set up to prevent drivers from speeding, and going too fast between points earns a penalty. Checking on the web I discovered that the WSEC is the Westmont Special Events Council, so apparently this was officially sanctioned by the good folks of Westmont. Pretty cool, but I do have to question the wisdom leaving the bag (which contained either instructions on how to get to the next point or proof that a point had been passed) on the platform. We’re constantly being warned to watch for stuff like this and then the village officially sanctions it!

3 pairs of metal pasties.
I participated in a group show last night that was tattoo/burleque themed. These pasties were really fun to make and will definitely be showing up throughout other pieces.
A rather otherwordly-looking character who sprang to life when I saw a display of shinguards in the sporting goods section of a Target store. I saw nothing but a long, eerie face and instantly purchased it to make it into a puppet head. His name is not only short for "shin guard", but is a play on the name of my favorite type of guitar, the Gibson SG.
Absolutely no loitering or sit. Also, please do not sleep while the table is in motion. For your safety, or course.
This cherub consists of an old soldering iron, a figurine's head, doll arms, plastic wings, watch parts and a sculpted body. 2011.
Wheels and pitchforks and sheepherders' monuments are designed into a most unique environment. Someday Tim hopes to build an entire "Log Town."
Turns out there's more than one reason for going to Roundup. Tim Anderson calls it his Little Mansion, and if you like rocks, you're going to like what Tim's Done with the place. It features not just rocks - which he's nailed to the wall - but wagon wheels, horseshoes, pitchforks, washing machines and other things that people throw away. Tim hauls all these found objects with his bike or tractor, and he uses them to decorate both his home and yard with a designer's measured eye. "I call that the Go-Mobile," he says, pointing out a free form metal assemblage that he readily admits "Don't go." His dream is to build a whole town this way, and perhaps find a wife who might help him accomplish his grand architectural scheme.
Membership DOES have it's privileges, eh? *S*
I've done several of these, all a bit different, but with the same theme. A framed cork assemblage I found and took out some of the corks, added the Last Supper sculpture, some grapes, scrabble letters, put it on a base, and tahh dahh! I may add a wine cork remover if I can find a cool one later on for on the top...we'll see.
Scrap of paper found on Sussex Univeristy campus. Maybe those lecturers were right to worry about the standards of students these days!
