All in good time - David Stafford, Marie Wintzer, Guido Vermeulen and TICTAC

[cheryl penn]

I don't know if it because its the beginning of the year, or we're getting old-ER!!! Or its just serendipitous, but I had a rush on the subject of time.  David Stafford sent me a calendar which included some of the DeskTop images from an old project - well its not ttthhhhhaaaaat old! Pink Floyd - Ticking away the moments. That make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours. In an off-hand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground...

So I'm thinking that if the toothed column ate an og, we're missing something with teaching? 

My favorite of course is by the Enchanter himself - Education is like a big-haired girl in a bare tree :-))! 

I never thought that DeskTops would come in so handy :-)

From Marie Wintzer aka Sweet Pea (Japan).  I asked her to make me a cover for a new book I am building to keep all her beautiful artworks in.  

Time like an ever rolling stream

Bears all its sons away

They fly forgotten as a dream

Dies at the Opening day.

12 months, how fast they fly. How quick the silver mercury slips through our fingers, looking for cracks in which to disappear.

From Guido Vermeulen (Belgium) -  The Time Sheet (Envelope)

Included was this Chapbook by  David Stone, and illustrated by Guido  titled Night Town (Phrygian Press)

A few lines from

A Cinder of Time

In Multiple places,

tired people

scratched visions

of indented theories 

of matter and cells...

set on the table 

a theory of causation

about an episode in Vienna. 

But - I think, if we can end our time as "Color me Beautiful" , looking like this card TICTAC (Germany) sent, the measure of our season turns will be Color Me Warm.    

Many thanks again for a wonderful selection of work :-) X

ViZma - does your hairpiece (Cassandra?) go on dates on her own, or do you tag along? Katerina - thank you - yes, I have received GREAT mail art - I'm glad I had a breather to blog some :-) X

She said no to Molly and Debussy. Wants something more exotic and underwatery!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

(Clouds got in the  way...)

Seriously now, this is a beautiful blog, Cheryl,

and you have received wonderful art...

(even if that peDOG ical calendar with the Greek Order is out-of-order ;-) xxx

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Debussy? Oh, of course:

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,

the dizzy dancing way you fell...lalalal

(WHAAAAAT?)

[Marie Wintzer]

I think Molly sounds good. Like Mollusk. Like jellyfish, sorry, octopus.

[vizma bruns]

Oh Jessie, I will cut fresh flowers for you, oh Jessie. Nope.

[Marie Wintzer]

Jessie?

[vizma bruns]

Oh yes, it- I mean she does need a name. But nothing that will make us sing the same thing for days on end. Not Joni. Or Graceland.

And she whistles in tune.

[Marie Wintzer]

I thought it was a she!? I think she needs a decent name.

[cheryl penn]

Me too :-))!!! Your hairpiece too? Can it sing in tune? :-) X
