As I was walking back from the gym at lunch today, I picked up a little pine cone off the ground. I optioned out of the official assignment today (sidewalk chalk drawing) to create this little artifact.
Colored marker applied to correction fluid that was painted on the pine cone.

FOUND ITEM (OBJECT TROUVE)- those absolutly wonderful items found on the streets of SAN FRANCISCO and PARIS,,,,
How else can one explain ADDA DADA's over 4,000,000 views....oh, those BARE CHESTS...
Mary had found the cloverleaf at lower right, where it was covered in dirt and grime in a Boston street. It had once been inlaid somewhere but had been ripped from its setting. We thought it interesting enough to take home with us, where Mary cleaned it and brought out its true beauty. It's come with us from our Boston apartment to Florida, where it sits on one of our bookshelves.
The cloverleaf is about 3 inches high by 3-3/4 inches wide. It is a quarter-inch thick, with three spikes extending for another half inch out the back. Those are mostly buried in unevenly-mounded concrete, which fills the back of the design. Total weight is half a pound (.23 kg).
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.
From negatives that mysteriously appeared in a box of cameras & equipment. Box came into my possession sometime between 1992 and 1995.

Found in the exterior kitchen wall behind the counter cupboards. I'm guessing the kitchen once had a very classy backsplash tiled with these copper tiles.

Altered mixed media treasure box. Doll parts, found objects, acrylic paint, transferred images, jewelry parts, scrabble tiles. Hawaiian theme.
ADDA DADA just loves his found objects...and he appreciates those who love those photos, too!
(yes, ADDA understands everyone would like to see T&A...or is that C& B - CHESTS & BUTTS?)

Found object. All that survives from a long-gone toy. I love the idea of these tiny bricks being scaled up to the size of real buildings in this eerily empty landscape.
Found this (in its current state) within a week of thinking about finding a derelict piano to turn into a garden objet d'art/planter. It disappeared shortly thereafter.

My tongue and cheek comment on all of the "Frogs" we have to kiss through the course of the day. Shrine to the Frogs we love/hate to kiss.
Starting the first of the year Illinois law allows farmers to use purple paint to mark their property lines as "No Trespassing".
Just trying to get better shots of some of the masks. Need a professional phtographer, but it will be awhile before I can afford one :-)
About Dirae:
I find it fascinating that in the classical world, many facets of anger were personified as female. Nemesis and Nike were associated with vengeance and justified retribution, and The Furies, also known as Erinnyes or Dirae, were entities who pursued and tormented those who committed terrible crimes. How different from later generations of women discouraged from showing any hint of anger lest they be deemed ‘un-ladylike’. I still have great difficulty expressing anger. And if I do, I often find myself feeling guilt for years after... as if I were being haunted by the terrible Dirae themselves.
