La Sirena

The amount of coincidences we've been having is pretty remarkable. When I pulled this card out of the mailbox I was shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Here are the things that blew me away: 1. Her cuteness 2. The fact that you call her a "siren", as opposed to a mermaid, which is what so many people call these elusive creatures. 3. Her "substantialness". I personally cannot imagine a siren that isn't a little, ahem, voluptuous.

What do kitties dream of?

This, of course.

Zzzzzzzzz

Flip-side with a small addition from the P.O.

I have a small collection of these bread-ties (bread clips? bread closures? bread twikkies? substitute guitar picks) and I actually use them to close bags sometimes. They do tend to get lost on the counter (even our tiny counter) and often end up on the floor, under things and between cracks. If we had a cat, I could see this being a source of amusement on occasion—fishing one of these out of its hidey-hole, then batting it across the floor like a hockey puck. But I've never sewn one onto a postcard. No sir. This is a fresh new approach to plastic.

More fragments from the past

This collage is totally in keeping with your earlier painting of The White Lady. They have a very similar mysterious, foggy atmospheric quality. You must look very closely at this to see all that is there. I didn't know that wasn't birch bark until you told me. And that woman is also someone to be studied, appreciated. She has a timeless look.

Mistake Man!

Combining the found objects

Found silhouette. Obscure poem fragment. Hidden cable cars. I love holding transparencies up to the sky.

Medium Toothed Whales

Do you sense a small, cute presence?

Yes. Yes you do. It's a Narwhal!

According to wikipedia: The narwhal, or narwhale, (Monodon monoceros) is a medium-sized toothed whale that lives year-round in the Arctic. This is the cutest Narwhal I have ever seen. So unexpected in so many ways! :)

That's right: donuts

Hmm? What's this?

*gasp!* Cute little bag!

Look what's inside...

DONUTS!

That's right: donuts. What happened to the other two? I wonder...

Close-up on my favorites: plain.

And of course, chocolate sprinkles.

Oh, donuts—you are wondrous indeed.

Found Object or A Little Madness for the King

Can you believe this escaped my notice? Our PO is so crazy. It's impossible to know when this arrived. It has no postmarks. I cannot even begin to tell you what they did with our mail when we were on vacation. Suffice it to say, a neighbor came by yesterday to show me the form I'd filled out requesting the PO hold our mail while we were gone. They'd mailed the form to her! That place is out of control. I have no idea what to do since they've basically gone rogue these days. I digress. I hadn't read this one before. It's perfect and wonderful even in the midst of summer. Thank you!
