FINE FOOD FROM FINE FANS

[Erni Bär]

Great alliteration, ain't it? What? Blog's title, of course. It all began with the package that came in from Switzerland today:

Scribblings and doodlings all over, front and rear:

The style is somehow familiar to me. In it there was this "bag":

Carefully done, I admit.

You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin',
I'm gonna send you back to schoolin',
Way down inside honey, you need it,
I'm gonna give you my love,
I'm gonna give you my love.

Wanna Whole Lotta Love

Well, why not. A little LedZep won't hurt, will it? Let's continue blogging. No communication breakdown here. Time for the Fine Food:

All good Swiss quality stuff! Looks tasty to me. And what else was in the "bag"?

A strange thingamajig and a necklace! Both attached here to my Gridhrakuta sculpture. And where did the chocolate go? Into the "singing" offering bowl joining one lonesome apple there:

There you are. Last not least a look at the emptied "bag". It's well worth it:

Very convincing mail art in my view. Merci beaucoup, Janine. Danke schön!

That's also a good one describing Janine's creative output. Hitherto I knew the expression WHATZISNAME? only (referring jokingly to persons you know but pretend not to).

Another English word for a "thingamajig" is a "whatshallicall it". (What-shall-I-call-it)

[Erni Bär]

Janine, I heard that word THINGAMAJIG on the road in New Delhi decades ago. Hadn't heard it before. It means something you cannot find a proper name for (construction? / creation? / invention?). In German it is called DINGSBUMS. The chocolate, by the way, was very good!

Hihi, i just went to understand what is : A strange thingamajig : the translation is : un machin bizarre, which is really funny in french. "Eine seltsame thingamajig".

Ben nein, it is a GREAT VERY GREAT VERY VERY GREAT creation of me! Yé, i know, in fact you are ri^ght : i'm a "machin bizarre".

Thanks for the blog, Erni, at last, you receive it. I send it BEFORE Christmas.

So in fact, it was for Christmas... but Swisspost are so effraid we send "i do not know what" that maybe the packet has been through 20 customers!!! Ah lala.

Today, i send 20 envelopes... hope they will be at destination before Easter!!!!

Thank you Kate. I ate the small chocolate pieces today. Quite ok.Janine likes decorative stuff. She even incorporated bottle caps into her fetish object. These kind of things are good dust collectors.

Nice choco glam and Baer/Bear from Janine!

That is a very stunning "hanging", too...full of natural elements.

Nice blog, too, Herr Haptic Erni :-)
