For the love of Olives-

I was truly blessed in the mail yesterday. I really love olives and some, mainly Nancy Bell Scott, abhor them. But Nancy was kind enough to make me, what is now one of my favorite pieces of art, that I can’t stop laughing over. Look at the glory of this actual Kalamata olive!! The paint and ink is beautiful but I think we can all agree the olive steals the show!

This is the best, thank you Nancy!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on December 27, 2022 at 6:31pm: Brine-cured would be my guess, Thom, since I love salt and have never understood brine. What is brine, anyway?

BTW: no offense below to any intestinal person! After all, I'm one of them.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on December 25, 2022 at 9:10pm: You came close with the first image to luring me to try eating kalamata olives again, KS. But then the close-up made it a no-no for good. I mean, look at it!--kind of intestinal. But I'm very glad you enjoy the art of it, you made it worth it, and I appreciate this fun blog of yours very much.

Comment by Thom Courcelle on December 24, 2022 at 2:25pm: Was it salt cured... or brined?

Comment by Thom Courcelle on December 24, 2022 at 2:24pm: Vegetarian mail art is the BEST!!!

Gives new meaning to the colloquialism: "Your mail art is so good, I just wanna eat it all up!!"

Comment by KS on December 23, 2022 at 4:12pm: Close up of my beloved.
