Tiny is as Tiny Does

An artist is no bigger than the size of his mind." (Jack Shadbolt, 1909-1998)


And here is a tiny one, I mean a tiny PROJECT, not a tiny mind.  Chill.



Isn't that little cannon amazing, I must get one and wear it from it's little jump ring around my neck on an elegant gold chain.  I wonder if it's shower proof, cause I always forget to unhook and unsnap jewelry before jumping in the shower.  And I have the watches to prove it.

Just as a reminder, speaking of tiny, the TINY URL site.




And my favorite tinies, Moo Cards. Twenty bucks for 100 individual cards, unbeatable and unforgetable!  Every year I make a new batch.



"Tiny Dancer"  (Elton John)

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real 
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand 



Two, count 'em, TWO Tiny Tims:
                                                                    take your pick.




Tiny critters:














And how about these teensy anchovies, so small you don't even clean them before eating.  Korean cuisine, not found in my kitchen.


OK, this Tiny Mind is leaving now, on to bigger things next time, but this has been a very bad week in the Homeland, and I needed the diversion. Humming my way out now with "Tiny Dancer"...




(You do have to admit that bunny was awesome!)
