ALL HALLOW'S EVE ... "BEWARE"

Background is the cover from a piece of sheet music I have owned a long time entitled "THE SNEAK" a 1920s Fox Trot tune. Sheet music not in good shape, time to use that cover!

Theme Of The Week.................................All Hallows Eve

Halloween - things that go bump in the night! Trick or treats? Ghosts ghouls monsters and skeletons etc. Have fun!

Record Sleeve.......................The Passing Of The Flounder

A hommage to one of my all time favourite artistes and albums - Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's "Trout Mask Replica" a double album notorious in the late 60's for being unlistenable! It sounded great to me at the time but I still prefer some of his other albums like Strictly Personnal or Ice Cream For Crow to name but a couple. My tastes have changed somewhat over the years but I do have a soft spot for a couple of tracks and the album sleeve is a very memorable!

FACEFOOD

I think the band Chick n Dip would call their first album “FACEFOOD”

Record Cover........................Bee Gees Rare Butcher's Cover

You thought the Beatles rarity was rare but this Bee Gees rarity is even rarer - in fact it's claimed that this one is the ONLY ONE in existance! Now that's what I call RARE!

ADVERTISEMENT: Lily Pons for Pinkies

Lily Pons (1898-1976) had to keep her hands in great shape when doing the dishes or dying her hair as she was a French-American operatic lyric coloratura soprano and actress who had an active carer from the late 1920s through the early 1970s.

Theme Of The Week...........................Advertising

Hazel suggested designing labels for products but that seemed a bit narrow. Opened it up to general advertising of brands - in use or made up. You could even use packaging materials in your collage. Have fun!

Toy Theatre

The Stage Is Set

I couldnt fit this one under the scanner so had to take a wonky photo.

Theatre of the Absurd

 

THEATER OF THE ABSURD

 I created this collage 14 years ago but it could not be more timely.

Theatre of the Absurd USA.

 

It didn’t start off being about America..but the news was on the radio and it sort of happened.

theatre-of-the-absurd: Support Act

Robot Theatre

One from the archives to start with.

Theme Of The Week......................Theatre Of The Absurd

We must all agree that we live in a crazy world at the moment. Every day there seems to be some new absurdity on the news. So collage some madness or stupidy all set on a stage of your own design that reflects some nonsense or banality. As always - have fun!

Fun with Hats

 

Hat-Trick of ATCs

FUN with HATS

Ha ha ... I commented on Ron's comment posted to Hazel's hat collage and described a strange hat I received as a gift from a Paddington Bear loving friend in Los Angeles. It is oversized, very fluffy/fuzzy and honestly ... will I wear this? You bet! The perfect snow shoveling chapeau!! I love it.

Hat or Bowl or Vase ?

 

Hats In Their Heyday!
