"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

I love the RD pic, Diane! I am off work for the summer so I'll only be seeing my own RR. Except when other things happen. I guess I should pay attention.

The bumper stickers or perhaps bum stickers since they would be for pedestrians are a super idea Diane.

Comment by DKeys on June 21, 2014 at 1:37pm

That is fantastic Martha!! plastic water bottles are a plague on society not to mention a complete scam! drain our bodies of water then sell it back to us?  what a great use for the unwitting participants in the grand conspiracy--the plastic bottles.  Glad you are back in the trash trenches again M!  nothing from Austria but maybe it is taking a detour. It would be so satisfying to know where all the lost mail goes.  looking on the ground is also helpful for finding money.  bumper sticker: MAKES FREQUENT  STOPS FOR TRASH  glad you are home!!!

Having been knee deep in work, as I call playing with trash and such like, I missed so many exciting messages. So going backa bit, at art school I got into the habit of looking down to the ground all the time and never lost it. Thanks to this healthy habit I have avoided falling into potholes as well as collecting beautiful trash. Yes! Trash is beautiful! And it is already a religion with me, I pray to Garbacia every day for a good crop of Trash and she doesn't fail me, living in London's suburbs helps. Garbacia does not seem to travel, had no help from her in Austria but finally I found what they do with their trash over there, look:

Amazing sculture by the Austrian motorways authority. I propose the ASFINAG for a Trashpo Litzer prize.

Your piece Diane, is super, I love things with lots of letters, I enjoy my mind trying to make sense of what is non-sense, the silly thing will never learn to let go of logic completely. Although of late it has come up with some nice non sense. There is always hope.

I see that you haven't got yet my rare piece from Austria, Diane, sorry, but I got photos and anyway you are getting something from England soon, it is on its way. Also an offering for Thom, long due both of them.

And finally my husband does point to Trash with Po-sibilities. He hasn't got to the stage of picking it up yet and as to making  TrashPo, well, he is too lazy for that. You are very good at educating (or brainwashing?) your partner, Dan, must give me some pointers. Now I am going back to putting together a mailing for you.

lol--thrashpo is right. The Naughty List Bitches dabbled in that before it dissolved.  I hope you can use this piece for daily inspiration!!

Got this great piece of ThrashPo from DK. She is hands down the master of Trash Poetry.

Comment by DKeys on June 19, 2014 at 4:50pm

Received a wonderful trashbook from DimitraPapatheodorou! and a very haptic metallic piece
