It's so fun seeing where the trashtalk generator has gotten to! genius creation by NOt Hi NG. the buttons look like a lot of my projects where I can't tell if it is really fun , really tedious, or both. There is a fine line for me. I have received some amazing trashpo lately and am so behind on blogging. Guido's trashpolitical piece arrived looking smashing in person and just today I received  DVS' wonderfully irreverent Trashpo Jesus framed artwork!! The frame is hands down the tackiest thing I have ever seen-so bad it's good. This piece is breathtaking=for some of the right reasons and some of the wrong reasons. Also something from Planet Susanna, Neil Gordon (a new medical category has emerged--Trashpo PTSD), Angie send some great 'moist' labelpo, NBS,so much great stuff. you guys are the best! and that beach glass art is beautiful. It would be great if he could design the DKult chapel!

Sarah, glad to see you received the traveling trashpo!  It's really a fascinating piece but sad to hear that the message was destroyed  :( 

Stephanie, looks interesting, all the buttons!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on August 10, 2012 at 6:53pm

Wow, Very cool Sarah!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on August 10, 2012 at 6:51pm

Lord darling, looks like tons o' work! now I feel guilty! Once again, thank you SO much Steph! [The requests died out & didn't seem to require further prints so I didn't think it urgent & went on to other things...am I correct, or do you still need? LMK - And thanks again, truly!

[BTW folks, if Steph sends you a button, I think it might be nice to make a donation...Besides supply costs, I imagine shipping all of these will cost her at least 100 bucks! Just a thought...]

A rather well travelled package has arrived in Wales!

It was making some interesting sounds, so I guessed what it might be...

THE TRAVELING TRASHPO AUTOMATED MIRACLE TRASH TALK GENERATOR!!

The recorded message has been compromised - the FBI (or similar government agency, I believe) intercepted the package and replaced the Trashpo message with a recording of the inside of a Postman's bag. Very sneaky. We obviously have them on their toes.

I think the last person to have this was Carina...? Whoever it was, thank you, your message was destroyed but the Talk Generator has survived, and will continue its work for the cause.

Ashley Bryan gets my emeritus professor Trashpo vote!  He collects seaglass and uses old newspaper to make these stained glass windows, he makes amazing puppets with found beach items.  When I was 9 I went over to the neighboring island to make a stained glass piece with him o... 40+ years later I visited him for a few hours! Wow. I have come away new eyes and so many ideas!
