I'll be sending something to you in a day or so - Although, I was hoping that I might have been included in your Artistbook (Crimson Giant) project. Please consider me next time, won't you? I really like your power to fascinate. Now then, the "Cat Group" you ask? Yes, and I will be delighted to do so. In fact I just snapped some pics of my new kitten especially for it. That will be forthcoming shortly as well. Nice to know you, Test.

At 12:33am on October 16, 2010, Bifidus Jones said…: Gertrude Stein, an American writer, came up with the "Rose is a rose" line in a poem entitled “Sacred Emily”--written in the early 1900s. She was annoyed that the word “rose” conjured up not just the flower, but a red flower and not just a red flower, but all the romantic goo that goes along with it, all from the one word “rose”. Maybe she was also annoyed that people get lazy, using cliché symbols without real thought or purpose. She makes a point, but to try and control the symbolism that attaches itself to a sign or object makes her point futile, and that is my overall message. I am poking fun at authorities, governments, clergy, academics, and all the others who think they are in charge of symbols and glyphs, those who try to impose restrictions on people, history, and culture with their so-called expert interpretations. Personal agenda, as well as personal experience, has much to do with interpreting symbols and the assigning of meaning, therefore, making it virtually impossible (and sadly comedic) to impose one true meaning to a symbol. I guess in the end, you can consider my section to be a parody of those who try to control the meaning of symbols.

At 2:03pm on October 9, 2010, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Dear Cheryl, I just got your great 'The Last One' envelope-- for which many thanks indeed -- and even though it's the First One I have got from you, I hope that it is not really the Last One. I'm also greatful for the 'Never Ever Think' card in it (I won't: I don't -- at least not when I can help it), and very much like your bit/bite/('bight') idea. I've been working on some postcards the last few days, and will post you one at the start of next week. Thanks again, Val
