New Tombstone

Thanks Fleur!

Erni: In some cemeteries, people make love on the tombstones also. In the 70's, when I lived in Hong Kong, people would sleep overnight on the tombstones since it was quite a long trip to the cemetery. Those tombstones had the photo of the deceased on the tombstone and there was a little stone or concrete area in front of it which was big enough to lay a sleeping bag on. I spent a night in one of those once and it was fairly comfortable since the climate is sub-tropical.

I find it amazing that in this small part of IUOMA we have already identified 2 people with 'professional', real world tombstone experience -- Prosthet and Erni.

Whose next, I wonder?

Dear Plush Rose, I like your Tombstones: keep 'em coming.

Dear Tombstoners,

No .there is no significance about the 8th to tht 8th timeframe that Plush Rose enquired about. I am very much of the opinion that these sort of Groups should have a short lifespan, and that their life cycle should be short and sweet. The cycle goes something like this. Someone creates a Group like Tombstone. It touches an artistic nerve, and generates a lot of creative interest for a while; but after a few weeks, or even days, ideas and originality dry up. At that stage I think the Group should be laid peacefully to rest. I decided -- completely arbitrarily -- that Tombstone should run for a month. It may have ground to a halt before then. Alternatively its members -- us -- might want to continue it (but I will probably drop out then).Who knows, I might organise a sort of plebiscite circa 6 April asking folks, i) do you want to continue the Group (because it's our Group, not mine), and if so, ii) do you want to lead it? Then we could gauge future support and leadership; Not that I'm providing leadership now, as the Group had already achieved its own dynamisim -- which is exactly what I hoped would happen.

Does this make sense to you?

Regards Val

Val, is there some significance in it for us as to the 8th to the 8th? Just wondering. So long! Time for pigment, scissors, glue, etc.!

Okay. Here's the best one so far that I could come up with on such short notice. Then I'll have to get along. There's mail-art to finish! ;)

Val:

Last night, for some reason, those were left blank--as in, a blankly framed window in which to type a comment. Very odd. This morning, all's as it should have been, so here I go  Here's the first idea I had. Not a very clever one, but t gives a giggle here at our Studio's main office.

I will not have a tombstone, that said, if I DID have one, it would have on it: "Here's Mim. She was always herself."
