Kool! Is this the first Trashpo Add & Pass? No matter, I think it deserves a TrashPo Litzer.

I love the puking pig too.

So excited to get this Trashpo Add and Pass back today from Angie--worked on by her and KDJ. "A good day at the book store" and the cracker jack with a puke pig inside is a great touch. I see the Korbel wrapper-someone had a great New Years thank for working on it you guys

Love this Dean. Such a great story-to accidentally stumble onto a lumberjack competition of all things. That was my first thought too-I would expect something like this in Vancouver but not Paris. The chainsaw that made the eyes gets my vote.

It WOOD be Dean ;-)

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on January 19, 2012 at 4:17pm

Diane,  This one is called "The Rings around your Eyes "

I was out for a walk in Parc de Bercy and stumbled on an International Lumberjack completion. (What an idea?) 
There were plenty of stalls selling everything under the sun for cutting down trees.
The completion was very interesting and all the men who won first prize where German.   Where were the Canadians?
A chainsaw company was showing how their chainsaw was the best, and gave out these samples of the cuttings.  I knew that one day they wood be useful.
We had an ice cream on a wooden stick which was to me the highlight of the day, but it left me with this perplexed question; How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
(The feathers were included just to get the thing off the ground.)

Do you have pictures Dean? love your humor!

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on January 19, 2012 at 8:07am

Thanks for the Washed a shore link: http://www.washedashore.org/

Great idea.  Funny enough yesterday I finished a "serious" piece using items (drift wood & other items) that I found on the D-day beaches in Normandy.  It was difficult to find anything funny about the D-day beaches so I sent it to the people doing a project on wood.  In the end I could not resist and ended with; "Hope you get my drift man."

Now you'll be hounded to death until you do it. Oh good! You could make it a valentine's day gift to IUOMA members. If you don't do it before, that is.

I really need to do a video to show everyone. I'm going to do this...I'm going to do this!
