Cow Parade from the Lyons Den

Jayne Lyons reminds me of the first Cow Parade, 1999, in Chicago :-) This mini cow from 2001 Chicago visit...

And in 2006 when there was a Cow Parade in Athens,

Was there one in your area? And now there are even "Bear" and other animals on parade.

They are fiber glass sculptures that are usually designed and painted by local artists,

then the are auctioned off and the proceeds go to charities...great to see them around a city.

Jayne has a Cow Parade project, via mail:

Love it! "Ask a Cow" :-)

Jayne has many cows on her envelope and her collage mail art:

here's a "milk chocolate" cow in Athens, 2006:

will work on some "cow art" in a few weeks when this Greek Heat Wave and the wildfires end...

Thanks Jayne, see you in September in the mail.
