Fossick is a great word which means to rummage or rifle vigorously through lots of stuff to get to something good. We have gold fossickers here, but usually we just fossick at garage sales and op shops and the rubbish dump. Aaaah, the rubbish dump!

 And immediate surroundings is used a lot here too, it means as far as your arm can reach, so if you have to get up from your chair then that would be distant surroundings.

 Also, we don't have the word trash!

It's beautiful! I saw your photos before your comment and about fell off my chair with longing. Then was so excited to recognize where you are sending it. Thank you, Erni!

OH NO More Can Cans.  Don't get me started on the French Can Can song again.  The last time it kept going around in my head for a week.

Thanks for checking in Nei! Sending thoughts your way--Shalomualakum:)

So very honored to receive Vizma's first ever trashbook. she tells me everything she used was directly from the bin and her immediate surroundings.  I didn't scan every single page but each spread is fantastic and has bits of wit and wisdom throughout. my favorite page that I think is genius is the magazine picture of a girl with real butterfly wings glued on. Thank you Vizma!

I'd also like Vizma to tell me what 'fossick' means. I've learned from Helen Amyes that while Australians might speak English, it is a language of its own!

Ah, but jj said she got your "trashpo", Dean! That means "poetry"...high class trash poetry! Nice bar codes, too!

And DKult from DK arrived in Greece: Cerealism and playing cards!

Thank you, thank you! xxx (must go blog ;-)

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on February 16, 2012 at 9:23am

Dear JJ,

Trashy?  Did you say Bar codes are TRASHY?  They are nothing less than High Fashion in our kitchen I'll have you know!  Well, I never ... "James, bring the car around, we don't want to be late for the Opera"  Trashy indeed.

Wow, get this. We went downtown today for a birthday lunch for my husband and I kept finding some lovely bits of trash on the ground and of course picked them up, after the third one I thought "the universe is telling me I need to put these things together today". Then, I came home and what magic did I find in my mailbox?? An epic piece of trashpo from Dean. A great 'trashy" day all around!!
