Baa Baa Black Sheep

A friend sent me these sheep the other day, I have no idea where they were displayed or who made them but look closely- they are all made of telephone coiled receiver cords. Now look at their feet- all receivers! And their heads? Yup. Sheep are the best!

UPDATE: These are the Telephone Sheep by Jean Luc Cornec displayed at the Museum for Communication in Frankfurt, Germany. Jane graciously found the particulars for me and also left several sheepy comments- sorry, I should have done it myself but I was trying out Scribefire and my swiss cheese brain was smelling like a sandwich- hence the massive size of the images. This is so great, I have hated being constrained by Blogger as to image size!

And another sheep picture from my pal Deanna in northern CA. Her formerly-white sheep are covered in ash from the surrounding forest fires- here they are grazing away- in their new black duds.
I'm wondering if they have also picked up that wonderful grilled flavor from the ash they are eating... Ummmmm!

And thanks to Jane we now know about the Booigal sheep decorating and race day. Sounds like it may be worth the flight to New South Wales: "Sheep Racing is obviously a very tricky business. If it wasn't, everyone would be organising it. Sheep, as we all know, are loyal, flocking, shepherd - following creatures, and have inspired whole breeds of Sheep Dogs, and their resulting Sheep-Dog trial events, so it is only appropriate that sheep have an event of their own in which to star.

And finally, here's the definitive sheep!
