What IS that thing?!

Kohlrabi: art on its own. Find in the store, guess it's from outer space, take home, photograph, slice, cook, eat. YUM.

toucans CAN drink hot cocoa

Here's proof. This toucan enjoys hot cocoa with marshmallows in the comfort of his own home.

glorious fiasco yams

6 easy steps to glorious fiasco yams:

1. make yams and cover with marshmallows and brown sugar.

2. put under broiler until they catch on fire. cover with a pan lid and carry outside.

4. scoop off the burnt marshmallows with a spatula and fling into the back yard.

5. march back inside.

6. eat and enjoy!

Jesus Miracle

Tonight I cut part of a lino block image of Jesus. The miracle that happened was that when I cut through the block his face turned to flesh color. The whole block is white. How did that happen? I've cut more lino blocks than I can say and this is a first. A miracle and message from our Creator. Holy ART!

Kate says she can't wait to see the lips cut...to see if they turn pink or red and start talking.

a broom

i spotted this broom near the elevators in the long term visitor parking at ohsu. what history, timeless personality, and aura of good old fashioned function. this one's for you, robert...i know you would've wanted to cast this in glass.

i'm too busy to cook.

it's true. beans on a tortilla on a yellow plate. this was a recent dinner because i was just too busy and tired to cook. look at this! it's so yellow! when am i going to learn to cook something other than cans of beans or cookies? the holidays are coming...i'd better get it together.

weekend assignment: doodle yourself to sleep

i doodle myself to sleep. characters come out of my head to play when they think i'm sleeping. here are a few...including pudgy worm and whispering beak.

lists

i collect lists.

the rules: they must be found, they can only be given to me if the giver does not know the list-writer, i cannot ask anyone for their lists, and they cannot be handed to me by the person (or witnessed by the person) who wrote the list.

lots of people like tp. i like the list that includes a 'big fat hen'.

i am collaging my lists onto cardboard and adding paint and pieces from a donated wedding dress (silk and lace) to my project.

baltimore is full of buttons. today i found a purple one on the ground and several near doors. here are just a few of them i photographed.
