Giant (16 cm x 24 cm or 6 & 3/8" x 9 & 3/8") postcard of collage images, with a reflector (yup, a reflector that fell off someone's bike or something). The foggy disk in the lower left is a dried-up clump from his glue stick. I kid you not.

Just checking in on this one for a laugh.

    Very observant you are to be.  Yes, you are correct, a heartier adhesive was required as it kept falling off.

     At one time I was going to leave it off, but the card just needed an extra push to make it artist.  The reflector was just not enough on its own.

     Weee, I talked myself out of that corner.  Thanks for the inquiry.  Any more questions are most welcome.  I'm full of silly answers. 

PS Hang tags is where it's at.  I didn't know they were called "hang tags" but I like the name.

And thanks, you just inspired me.

Mr. in Seine, I'm amused that you were too lazy to glue the reflector back on the bike, but not too lazy to glue it on the postcard.

I see some product packaging with a hang tag is involved here. I like that.

One more question...did you glue the glue clump down with more glue stick? Or was a heartier adhesive required?

Wouldn't you think that kind of door knocker would affect attendance? I know I don't want to go.  --L

Laughing is what it is all about.  And if the Dean and Linda, or is it The Linda and Dean comedy show works, then all for the better. 

     I'm not sure if it induces in search of perspective, but if it helps anyone find their car keys then it is a success.  And I'm sure the well-balanced details will help people remember where they parked the car once they find the keys.   Maybe I'm missing a business opportunity here!

     On a more serious side, the big scary thing is a picture of a door knocker at Durham, UK cathedral. The reflector just feel off my bike and I was too lazy to glue it back on.  Besides, the dried-up clump of glue stick was missing.

Very nice, I like it. I think it induces in search of perspective, and it's full of well-balanced details. Nice works.

I still laugh when I look at it.  --Linda

I had a terrible day yesterday and this morning is iffy.  But Linda's caption and Dean's comment brought me a huge smile and a much needed laugh.  Thanks! :) :)

Happy it arrived. Thanks for posting it.  Is that really a dried-up clump from a glue stick?  I've been looking for it everywhere!
