WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 147

 

Fancy lady doll. I think she'll be named Miss Pretty.

Miss Pretty sort of over did the eyelashes and I'm not quit sure what she's wearing on her head.

It appears that summer has hit my town. We broke down and turned the A/C on the other day. Well, it was 86 degrees in the house at 11pm. At least it's not humid......yet.

Have a wonderful week! Hope you like the new colors.

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 146

 

Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, better know in the USA as another day to get drunk. Sort of like St. Paddy's Day without the green beer.

 This lovely couple says "Please respect our culture"

I made Frida Barbie for my BFF a few years ago. Let's see are there any other holidays from other countries coming up? Bastille Day, but nobody cares much about that one. Guess it's too close to the Fourth Of July. Enjoy  other people cultures, but stop turning the holidays into reasons to get drunk.  (tangent over)

IT'S CALLED THE PEACH STATE FOR A REASON  

It's May and that means one thing.....................

 Lawson's Peach Shed is open. Peach, blueberry or peach/blueberry swirled. Yummy. To bad we ate the ice cream before I took a photo.

 A giant peach and a view of the packing equipment.

 Even the trash can is cute.

 Peaches for sale.

A side view of the packing machine.

 Got this pretty Bob Mackie Wearable Art sweater the other day. I love the colors and the 3/4 sleeves. Bob Mackie sells this line on QVC, which is a home shopping channel. How about that? It was $2.

We had a visitor the other day.......

Darn cat thinks he owns the place. My arty shot through the front door screen.

May the Force be with you!!!!!!!!

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 145

 

Happy rainy Wednesday to you!

Not a clue as to were this fellow is from. Perhaps The Balkans? I've never understood why these souvenir  dolls have eyes that close. Just to add to the creepy factor?

 

 

FORGOT TO POST THIS FROM 2 SUNDAYS AGO

Because I'm so busy or a slacker.

 This shows runs through May 4th. Some of these photos are mine and some are from Julie Bowland the gallery director. There was a lot of people in the gallery and it was difficult to take pictures of the art. Here are some of the ones I really liked.

 Art by Amber Hudson, photo by Julie

 Art by Shauni Redfearn, photo by Julie. I love Shauni's art.

 Not sure of the artist, photo by Julie

 Back view of Shauni Redfearn's piece, photo by Julie.

 Another of Shauni's pieces, photo by me.

 By Amber Hudson, my photo.

 Huge piece in the hallway. Don't know who did this one. My photo.

 From the front. My photo. Some of the crowd in the background. It's great to see how much support the art students get from the university, parents and the community. There are over 90 pieces in the show. Everything from paintings, pottery, jewelry, video art, you name it, it's in the show. Now that said, only about 30 pieces were for sale. This seems to happen at all the student shows. They don't want to sell the best pieces. One of the things that makes you an artist, is selling your work. I guess they'll get over that.

This past weekend, I went to 2 Senior Showcases for the theatre and dance students. Seven dances on Saturday night , all from student choreographers. All wonderful. And Sunday afternoon was the Musical Theatre kids, 9 graduating Seniors. Who know this small university had so many talented kids? I have no photos, but take it from me, it was awesome.

Have a Star Trek drink one me, until next time

CAN'T THINK OF A PUNNY TITLE THAT RHYMES WITH PLATE.

 

Bella Q over at Citizen Rosebud posted a photo of a souvenir plate that she's selling. I mentioned how much I love them. She told me to post about them, so this is her fault.....haha.

 

 Let's start with my hometown, San Francisco. "Ding, ding" cable cars, Chinatown and the Golden Gate Bridge. All on a tiny plate.  I'll throw in the missions for fun.

 Ah, yes, what better way to honor the 50th state. A vintage ash tray. I know, not a plate, but it's cool.

 I can relate to the lousy apartment plate. When is a home really mobile? When you can tow it behind your truck.

 Been here, had the plate forever.

 Never been here, but Harrod's is on the lower left.

 Oh, Canada! Interesting that 2 of the countries don't exist anymore and 4 got lumped under on name.

 The Grand Canyon

 The back of the Grand Canyon

 I've been here, too. Twice. Yeah, it rained both times.

 Welcome to New Zealand! Before The Hobbits.

 Hearst Castle and Mesa Verde

 I wonder if this is still here?

 A saucer, which has lost it's cup. Hand painted.

 The hometown again........

 with mime's or people having a bad acid trip.

 Texas theme parks.

Last but not least Sacto!

Well, last isn't really true. I have lots more, but that's enough!

Went to the Senior Art Show last Sunday, look for that upcoming post soon.

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 144

 

You'd think I was busy or something with my slacking on posting. No, just haven't been feeling it.  I do have a couple of ideas rolling around my brain. 

Here's a lady from Guatemala. That's what the tag on her foot says.

I would have guessed South America. Her skirt and wrap are rough wool and she has a baby on her back. Not sure what the blue square she's holding is. It's a blue square. And I think she had shoes at some point. 

Later.....
