...Up, up and away!
I received this a few days ago from Dean Marks and he has truly outdone himself this time. Part Jules Vern, part Terry Gilliam, with a bit of kitsch thrown in for good measure, it is a stroke of mail art genius. Words cannot describe it, so I shall let the photos speak for themselves:
Needless to say, "Captain Balloon Glasses" now holds a place of honor with all my favorite things, at my work station where I can bask in it's glory.
Comment
This was a Christmas decoration which I believe came from my mother many years ago. It was "voted" that it no longer should be part of our household, and was on it's way most likely to a landfill. But then I got an idea! The two halves I took apart, and each one became a card with photos which were "voted" not to be in our photo album.
Sometimes I still wish we were in the dazes when women didn't have the right to vote ... but then again our home would then look like a man's den. Happy that they flew to new owners.
I don't know if you noticed this, Katerina, but Dean is wearing "Balloon Glasses' in your piece.
"Balloon Glasses" are fun.
