Warning:

If anyone receives an "Orange Sandpo" (with sandpaper) from me,

PLEASE do NOT place directly on scanner!

Use a piece of clear plastic before the glass...as sandpaper 

will SCRATCH! Oh, dear! Forgot to write that on my mail art  :-(

My camera and downloading...or uploading, or whatever,

makes my "orange" art more red, too, Heleen :-(

But if you get an original, you'll know that it is ORANGE

(well, some are a bit red-orange?)

Beautiful sandpaper art, Katerina! And also beautiful works by Angie, Anu, Lynn, and an interesting comment by Richard (and addition by MomKat).

Still I have to post my newly received Orange here (Anu, Carina, Vizma, Angie (with pink), Katerina, all who sent: Thank You!). However my scanner appears to turn orange into red (probably he/she prefers other colours), so I have to think about an other way to show it here. To be continued.

I'm glad we keep on learning. I didn't know Josef and Ann Albers until now, but thanks to RC and KN I do. Or better say: I didn't know that I did know Josef Albers' works. Bauhaus is wellknown of course (and I used to have a vinyl record of an other Bauhaus in the 80s) and I've seen the artwork, but the link to Albers was missing in my brains so far. 
Regarding Josef Albers' art work: in his squares we can see some orange, too!

March 19, 1888 b...1976 d.

Thanks to Richard who knows that ORANGE, Connecticut, is where this

ORANGE lover: Josef Albers (and his wife Ann) are buried!

"Josef was born in March of 1888 in Germany and was educated and taught at the Bauhaus.  He immigrated to the US in 1933 when the Nazi regime closed down the Bauhaus.  He first arrived and taught in Black Mountain, North Carolina and then was asked to come to the Yale University School of Design.  He and Anni lived in Orange and now are buried here. " (from website: Orange Slices, Orange, CT)

24.08.14 Dare Ms. Heleen de V.,...It was none other than our patron saint Ray Johnson who pointed out that Josef Albers was buried in Orange, Connecticut. Richard

This piece, 'Oberservations in Orange' was sent to Dan Landrum.

Dan, being the digital wizard he is, provided this digital distortion of the piece...

Then, Moan decided to play with it...

And finally, Dan Mouer did his thing, printed it out and sent it back to me.

Now, THAT'S a lot of ORANGE!

I loved seeing everyone's take on that one piece, each person's Observation was unique.

Thought the group would appreciate seeing the progression. :D

received from Angie, tres fun. I am officially in the Orange lovers group though I have to say I don't really have a favorite color---what would the world be like without any one of them??? I do have a friend who really dislikes orange---that completely boggles me!
