Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very
elderly widow and asked, 'How old was your husband?'
'98,' she replied: 'Two years older than me'
So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?'
In our taxidermy store (well, it was in Christies recently), a spcial built case to hold your ostrich taxidermy so nobody will touch it. As if.
And in our tattoo department today, a lovely example from the past~
Yup, the Last Supper. Now tell me, why does someone get a tattoo
where they can't even see it?
I don't get it.

I found a new List of 9 to put up in installments. This one might be a little easier to read than the last one I posted. Info at the link:
Most artists take great care of their art making tools. . . that’s a given. But whether you are naturally creative, or have developed your talents through training, it’s just as vital to care for and nurture your creativity.Here are the nine techniques that I recommend to all of my artist clients who need a creative boost:
1. Keep an art-related idea journalKeep a spiral notebook with you at all times to capture ideas, sketches and references to use later. It’s like keeping an art diary, and it’s for your eyes only, so you can record everything.Writers call this a “swipe file.” It doesn’t mean that you plagiarize things that you find—that would be highly unethical and unoriginal to boot! But whether we acknowledge it or not, we are all inspired by what surrounds us and what came before.That is the point of this journal. Find things that inspire you, and save them to inspire you later on. You never know what will be useful down the road. It will save you time rediscovering things you have already worked through, and give you a wellspring of creative ideas for times when the well seems dry.
Chilean artist Serena Garcia Dalla Venezia creates large, colorful fabric installations fashioned from small handmade balls of fabric filled with cotton and sewn together. Inspired by ideas of growth and accumulation, order and chaos, Dalla Venezia’s work is intricate and her process is organic. During this process, she is mindful of the color gradations and contrasts, creating a populated color palette that almost appears pixelated.

OMG, now I want an erasable ivory notebook!
Thomas Jefferson carried various portable instruments for making observations and measurements about his garden, farms, finances, and other concerns. He penciled a record of these measurements onto a compact ivory notebook. Once back home he transferred these notes to ledgers, erased the notes in the ivory notebook and was able to reuse it.
Dutch artist Suzan Drummen creates sparkling floor installations using an array of individually placed mirrors, crystals, chromed metal, optical glass and precious stones. That’s right, the thousands of objects in each of her artworks are placed and stacked by hand and sit completely loose during the exhibition.
A Fellow Floridian and his woman.
