Onions

Shed not a tear....

Oh the mighty onion, so delicate and poetic in your hands Katerina. Beautiful.

Voilá les résultats!

Thank you very much for your tutorial / workshop, Katerina! :-)

And thank you very, very much for your beautiful Onion Mail Art, ουρά!

(How do blue onions taste?)

Dolphin-like Onions...

Good to see that the "onions" arrived, Heleen!

There are many a "BLUE print" out there in the mail.

Dolphins? I did send a couple of "fish" to Adamandia in Chicago.

More Onion Blues from Katerina Nikoltsou

Onion Elephant!!!!

Thank you very much, Katerina!!!

I'll post it on 'real weird animals' later (now it's 1.15 am, time to sleep in this part of the world) (and time to dream of onions and elephants, accompanied by lovely music :-)

Glad to see that the Onion Elephant arrived, Heleen!

Wait for the "hedge hogs" :-)

More onion prints coming...

Thanks for posting, Guido...blue onions, yes!(and onion soup, too)

Onion Hedgehog!

(and reflection!) (and a green - Katerina, green, are you allright? - background!)

From Katerina. Thank you very much!

A little bit of onion on green, yes indeed

...getting ready to move to red and pink soon ;-0

'Glad the hedgehogs arrived for Weird Animals!!

You're brave!

Did someone say red and pink? :-)

Yes, because Katerina already has used yellow and green. So now red is on turn, and pink. And then via violet and turquoise back to blue. As long as it is no orange :-)

(Sorry, I forgot that this groups is about onions, not about colours.. By the way, these onions are yellow anyway (geel, jaune, желтый, gelb, gialla, dzeltens, κίτρινο, as the package says clearly, not orange).)

??? What's wrong with orange?? Don't you like orange, Heleen? It's my favourite!!

Here here for orange! You know onions are a little orange on the outside ;)

Greek onions are purple on the outside,

rarely can I find "blonde-brown onions" :-)

Just a peek : Hot Pink and Orange it is...and Red, too.

(New series getting ready for Feb 14?)

No onions, no tears, only HEARTS!

Love it!!! I love orange and red together. I'm making you an orange valentine today!!

@ Vizma's Q: what's wrong with orange? Heleen's A: I always thought 'nothing'. Until I saw this :-)

But no way that I am allowed to don't like orange. It's our obliged national colour, and dress code, especially at certain occasions, like this, and this.
[And I'm afraid that Eva, and you, won't send me any mail anymore if I would dare to say that I prefer turquoise to orange, shhh don't tell...]

To get back to the subject: look, I found an orange onion!

But, Heleen, you do eat oranges,yes?...and orange onions !

Understandable why people in the Nederland might be sick of seeing orange...sigh.

Please don't understand me wrong: I (have to) love the colour orange! Orange unites the Dutch!
And indeed I love to eat clementina mandarines! Raw carrots! Onions!

Even the house of my first ever punniked mail art mail snail is Orange!

I must confirm that Heleen sends tons of orange mail.

I don't know about the orange onions or the orange food that she eats, though). I just know that she eats a lot of cheese, but it's just because she loves mail art, of course.

Yes, Eva...that is a lot of orange cheese art from Heleen,

I think there were only two from Greece...

CHEESE = ART (as Erni always says, too) :

But the Greek contributions are really wonderful!

Wow Heleen, that Oliver the Orange Onion is really something. Who knew an onion could be such a marketing icon? And those Dutch orange crowds!! Gorgeous! I must attend a Dutch football game someday to be in a sea of Orange like that!

Wow!! See you there, Jennifer!!! I'd looove to be in a sea of orange, like that! My mood was lifted from seeing that page!

Heleen, I'll send you all the turquoise that comes into my studio, and you can send me orange, ok? All the blue stuff goes to Kat!!

Dolph(on)i(o)ns! Created by Katerina - thank you very much!

And Katerina even used som yellow, and a Blue Onion, to create this Platypus! (also posted here) (and here) 

Vizma, good idea to send you Orange! Only I will have to divide all my orange, so far a lot of Orange did go and has to go to Eva, who loves Orange, too!..

By the way, Eva: did you receive Onion cheese so far? 

Concerning the colours to send to me, feel free to choose, as besides Turquoise I also love Violet, light bright Green, burnt-umber Brown, clear bright Yellow, Black (and White) and... light yellowish Orange!..
and all colours, in fact, as long as they together show a nice picture.

Not onion cheese yet. Neither union cheese.

the BLUE onion prints just begged to be "weird animals", Heleen1

Thanks for posting here. The other onion platypus was sent to Sigean:

Banana Onion Echidnas and Banana Onion Orion Soup from Katerina Nikoltsou! 

(will also post these sweet bill-less spiny anteaters in the Existing Odd Animals blog :-)

(Also posted in the Brain Cell Compilation group)

Thank you very much!

Onion goes "bananas" :-)

this is the Banana Day card from Heleen:

and this is the flip side of yellow:

BLUE!

thank you Heleen! xxx

So happy that my Orion Union Onion soup arrived in Japan - and back again!

Onion? onion? where is the missing onion?

Heleen sent a "device" for making onion rings...hahaha!

see:

Like the circles that you find....from Heleen :-)

And a tiny onion was found in the net,

a net from onions!

There's the onion...back where it belongs :-)

"uien" :-)

Thank you, Heleen in Amsterdam ! xxx

Happy Happy Holidays and New Year 2015!

(Santa capped onion stamp from Heleen :-)

Yummy, warm, and great flavor of onion soup!

Hope you had some, TiAr, and Happy 2015!
