Whatever you do it always has to get worse before it gets better.

Sorry..that was a tricky theme.!

Penguins Go Over The Pinball Bridge

This one caused me all manner of problems! Finding a suitable bridge for a start. This curious shape is from a well snipped book about pinball and this page has been lying around for ever. Nice to get a chance to use it! The penguins seem happy to try it out but one has fallen in the drink! Such is life. Also the collage was about two inches too wide for the scanner. Doh!

The Exit Less Traveled on the Golden Gate Bridge

Michael went into his archives and I did too...this collage created a long time ago...but I am also working on another!

Coffee and bridge time

 

Bridge - T

Well - I was looking for bridges in the archives on Flickr and this popped up! It's a page from a collage diary I did back in the 80's. Thats my excuse anyway!

There was an old horse named LaLa - Who's practice was definately Dada - He raced around - Alll over the ground - Lay bits of old horse named Lala.............................................................................................................................................................This is a bit of a cheat as I made up this limerick myself! It's rather obvious I know. Edward Lear was far better at it than me!

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."

 

There was an Old Man of Coblenz, The length of whose legs was immense; He went with one prance, From Turkey to France, That surprising Old Man of Coblenz.

 

Another Old Geezer...

There was an old man of Spithead,

Who opened the window, and said, -

'Fil-jomble, fil-jumble,

Fil-rumble-come-tumble!'

That doubtful old man of Spithead.

EDWARD LEAR NONSENSE (with apologies to Mr. Lear)

 There was a SMALL man of Ancona,

Who found a LARGE dog with no owner,

Which he took up and down

all the streets of the town,

That anxious small man of Ancona.

There Was An Old Man In A Boat

There was an Old Man in a boat, Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!' When they said, 'No! you aint!' He was ready to faint, That unhappy Old Man in a boat.

There was an old person of Brigg

 

There Was An Old Man With A Beard

There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, “It is just as I feared!— Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!”

These can be easily found online. Choose a nonsense verse and illustrate it. Most are very visual and lend themselves to the collage medium. Have fun!
