Hello, Yellow!


So, I had two pieces in this collage sitting on my work table. (The yellow colored pencil AND Mickey Mouse! left over from the previous Trivia challenge.)

BTW did you know that when Mickey Mouse was introduced waaay back in the day his shoes and gloves were both yellow?? Now he has WHITE gloves. There you go, I got that trivia out there.)

Yellow...............................The National Yellow Magazine

The eagle eyed may have spotted this on here before - rather briefly. But, havig scanned it I realised the "Y" of the yellow had fallen off between the work table and the scanner!? I looked for it but it wasn't to be found ( I expect it will turn up in the bathroom - that's where a lot of snippings tend to end up!) So I deleted and hurriedly cut out another "Y" and afixed thusly. Ah the trials and tribs of the collagist!

YELLOW

 

Gleaned all the yellow things from my collage pile….not as many as you would think. 

Theme: Yellow

Collages featuring the colour yellow somewhere or everywhere if you like!

TRIVIA QUESTION #007


Ah ha, after I learned the answer to this question I realized I might have stumbled upon a double meaning! But I Googled it and AI claims Fleming chose the name of his character for its lack of romance or excitement, and there is no indication he was aware of or intended the later slang use of "bird" for a woman.

Trivia Question #007: Who did Ian Fleming name his spy character James Bond after?

Answer: An American ornithologist of the same name. Fleming found the name in his copy of the book Birds of the West Indies and decided it was perfect -- "brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon and yet very masculine".
