Bordeaux on hand (stock) for Nancy

Nice try, Dean. No way, Dean. On further inspection a short time ago, I detect that the cardboard holding the fingers out straight is thinner than the cardboard in the base of the hand. So you stuffed them all separately. Still, you had to connect fingers and palm somehow, else it would have arrived with fingers bent at bottom knuckles, like a person bending at the waist who doesn't have the brains to know that standing up from that position will throw their back out. But interesting pear and bottle tale! It's probably true! We see ships in bottles over here, but never pears.

Nancy says; "Dean cut a hand-shaped cardboard that somehow he fit inside the glove--can't imagine how he did it--but it kept the glove stiff and shapely."

OK if I must tell.  It's an old French trick that they do with pears.  When pears are small they put them into a bottle and then tie the bottle to the branch.  The pear then grows to its full size in the bottle.

I did the same thing.  When the cardboard started to sprouse, I put it into the glove and watered it everyday until it took the full shape of the glove.  All in the day of a Mail Artist!

...me siingin' 'n dancin'......

"GLove is in the air 
Everywhere I look around 
GLove is in the air 
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish 
Don't know if I'm being wise 
But it's something that I must believe in 
And it's there when I look at your hands...

GLove is in the air 
In the whisper of the trees 
GLove is in the air 
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming 
Don't know if I feel Seine 
But it's something that I must believe in 
And it's there when you call out the  name: GLOVE!"

Well as they say; "If the glove fits ..."  Reminds me of that Beatles song: Glove Glove Glove All you need is Glove.

Makes me feel like dancing, Ok everyone, up off your seats!

Dean cut a hand-shaped cardboard that somehow he fit inside the glove--can't imagine how he did it--but it kept the glove stiff and shapely.

Aha...it was in a "box" situation? A "Bordeaux box piece"? 

Here "mail people" don't want to be a part of the art..they hardly want to be a part of the mail!

If I don't use envelopes, you no getty de mail art, si?

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on November 22, 2011 at 3:48pm

Now Now Katherina, you know very well that it was not sent in an envelope.  Mailpeople have to be part of the art as well.  New Logo; Hey kids, Don't do drugs, don't smoke, and don't use envelopes!
