THEME Of The Week - How Did We Get Here?
Are we descended from monkeys? Did the train bring us? Are aliens our makers? On the 249 bus from Basingstoke? Your guess is as good as mine - have fun!

The First Fish Choir.
Colin believed he had trained the first fish choir in the UK.
No one has yet challenged him on this assumption.
(Sorry my date stamp went into the future!)
so far.
THEME Of The Week - A New World Record
Hazel came up with this one so blame her! I don't think we've had this one ever but maybe we did some years ago. Let's see your record breaking attempts at the highest, the longest, the smallest, the biggest, the most of the mostest! Have fun!

MODERN DAY NURSERY RHYME: Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating a spinach souffle.
Along came Diplodocus
Who sat down beside her
But Muffet was not scared away!
(Because Diplo is a vegetarian and she had plenty to share! Now they are BFFs.)

BIRTH: "A Paean to Spring"
I am afraid I ran out of time this week...good theme...but after returning home from a week away I am too busy playing "catch up" and I remembered this collage from 2016. So here is its repeat appearance.
Birth - Shed Babies
We have been rather busy this week. Had to pop to Yorkshire for a couple of days after the demise of a dear friend. Here's one from the archives.

THEME of the Week - Birth
It's Springtime and life is emerging from the cold and damp. Twitterpated birds are building nests. Hybernating bears are waking up. Frogs are making their way back to the pond. Let's see your collages of re-birth and re-generation! Have fun!

FREE for ALL: GARDEN RHYTHM
I adore the work of Paul Klee. I was browsing through one of my Klee books and spotted the background of this collage ("Garden Rhythm" 1932) and I had pre-cut the potted plant and the image of a tapestry of a St. Bernard dog and I just thought they all looked splendid together! (I love the "rhythm" of Klee's piece...looks like a cozy organic quilt.
