#195 series and something creepy

Creepy Mushroom growing by the tree out front.
As long as her eyes were closed, the big head didn't disrupt the hunt
Wally & Helen were delighted by the tiny horses of Tiny Town
This card cracked me up. I was cutting things out of old National Geo magazines (I was so tired of seeing the stack on my studio floor) when I came on this photo. I showed it to my honey and he said, "that's a post card in itself." So I cropped it and turned it into a stage with the Penguin and the Sea Lion, who appears to be laughing uproariously, and the other penguins as audience. So funny to me. Here's the title: Critics found the play "Delightful," "magic," a "Little Gem." Surely The Penguin and The Sea Lion will be a 2012 Tony Winner. We'd just watched the Tony Awards (Best of Broadway.)

I didn't know what to do with head I cut from a Man Ray photo. I felt creeped out by my own caption for this one. What about you?



This couple is from a 1960s National Geo magazine. They were perfect for this card.

#181, 182 & 183 Mail Art and something kinda creepy

 No. 181 is entitled something like "The Royals visit Tiny Town and notice a friend."  I really am cracking myself up with altered cards. I hope the recipients get a laugh out of them, too.
 "Mae always got lightheaded when she saw a de Kooning." This is #182
 Today's card, #183 is actually the 362nd card that I've made and will send out, as part of my Mail Art a day, since I make more than one a day. I'm almost at 365 cards! We're at the half way mark today.
I call this one: The people of Tiny Town go about their daily lives, as if no one was watching."
Here's the somewhat creepy thing. I spotted this the other day by my neighbors tree. "What the heck is that?" The center is like honey in color and shiny. My reaction was "eew" and yet I was drawn to it's alien-ness and strange beauty. Have you seen a mushroom like this?

It's August already!!!

 The summer is half way over, and glad about it. It's been so hot here and we look forward to cooler days.  I'm writing writing this...
