KEYBOARDS and a holiday wish in the coming year ...

 So...here it is! Our 2025 holiday card (currently at the printer as I type this)! Our greeting reads:

The fundamental things apply

as time goes by.

Best Wishes for all the happiness

you can find

in the coming year.

Love,

Angie & Ted

A caption, inside left bottom, reads:

Piano in collage is a studio 58-key piano, with wood and plasticine keys, likely manufactured by Kohler & Campbell, 1927. It is the piano from the movie Casablanca on which Sam plays "As Time Goes By."

keyboards: Sitting on my Piano the Other Day!

QWERTY Keyboard.

 With Xmas fast approaching I rushed this one…

A factory where they make colourful keyboards.

Keyboards...............................Tickling the Ivories

Theme: Keyboards

Collages with a keyboard to appear somewhere, be it musical, typewriter or computer etc…

Could be a favourite piano player ripping it up, a prog-rock synth wizard or a data inputter.

Er, maybe not that last one. :D

Jack & The Beanstalk

Fairy Tales /Folk Tales............................Hick Dickory Dock/Puppet Lady

Two for the price of one!

You have to kiss a lot of frogs…

 I know I have a picture of little red riding hood somewhere…but I couldn’t find it…

Luckily I have a lot of frogs.

Fairy Tales / Folk Tales.................................Kats In The Kremlin

An obscure Russian folk tale about the gang of cats that take over the Kremlin. They hire an architect mouse to re-design the whole thing and all goes horribly wrong when the cats eat the mouse before the job is completed!

KRAMPUS -- (hopefully) a FOLK TALE

From the archives (2017). I was invited to submit a work of art for a Krampus show at a local gallery.

I am of Eastern European descent and the legend of Krampus makes all children behave so they are not terrorized by the demon-like creature at Christmastime!

’Tis the season when favourite childhood stories take centre stage in theatre shows and in TV/Movies.

Collages inspired by anything from the lands of “Once Upon A Time…”

Rhyme Time.........................Synthetic Cow

Rhyme Time...

When her husband goes to sleep, miraculous images begin to creep...
                         And soon her mind is keen to tread a dream-filled path to collage instead!
      All the very best to my Kollage Kit friends for a very Happy Holiday and Wonderful New Year.
 

 

Rhymes..........................Targets

An Olde Country Rime.

Rhymes............................He Showed Me A Pure Rat Of Wiverer

Rhymes ..................I Never Expected That!

Theme: Rhyme-Time

After the jokes and the sleight-of-hand tricks,

Some verse inspired collage and limerick mix,

Be they fresh from your pen or from poets you quote

I’m calling it quits now. I’ll get my coat!
