Day One Hundred Twenty-Three



You know, I only had three more collages to make to get to the magic number of 50 so that I could send them into Artisits in Cellophane to replenish (finally!) my stock of "Animal People", one of my Art-o-mat® series. So I made them all today so that I could start the finishing process tomorrow and pack 'em up and send 'em out by the end of the week.

Well, it happened again. I have to keep this collage for me...now I have to make one
more.

"He's been quite brave chasing bear off our property - although I have no idea how he'll handle the supernatural."

This one is cracking me up (as did Lord Mangrove/Day 97 and Llama Man/Day 107). Lord Mangrove was impossibly handsome and "scary", Llama Man was Aunt Libby-ish and amusing, and now it's the out of context sentence that is making me keep this one. It is one of those "whose voice is it" things that I find so entertaining.

Is the Ram Man braggin' on his trusty protector/companion (presumably a dog, but who knows) or is someone else talking about the Ram Man as being the brave bear chasing guy?

Okay...so now they can hang out together in a little grouping somewhere in my house and remind me of how silly I was.



















My yard now that Ram Man (or his companion) has chased the bears away -- note the chasing knocked down all those petals from the messy tree.

Day One Hundred Seven


There was a clue there.

Did I ever tell you that one of my favorite aunts -- Aunt Libby -- raised llamas? Too fabulous.


This is another collage I would like to keep for myself. If I keep doing this, I won't have any to send to Artists in Cellophane. (see day ninety-seven - Lord Mangrove - click the labels below)

Sheesh.

Maybe I will just keep him on my desk for a while and when the time comes around to pack up the 50 "Animal People" blocks, I will be able to let him go. or maybe not

Heavy sigh.

Day Ninety-Seven

Lord Mangrove...gosh, he's so fierce...he's had more than his share of extremely eventful days.

I'm thinking I'm probably going to end up buying this collage (for my "Animal People" series for Art-o-mat®) from one of my machines myself. There are just too many elements that are working for me in this one.

Don't get me wrong, I love pretty much every one of my Animal People (I am that obsessed with them). But this one in particular...the tiger, the "scary" hands, the wacky phrase, the orange & green combo...then way the front flower is just barely out of focus, the b+w body draws me straight to the tiger's face. Sorry, Arto-Animal People fans...I'm buying this one. LOL
