ovoids with kookaburra

I'm about to go out of town (and off the net) for a short vacation from the huge house-decluttering project. So I'm posting a couple from the archives. (The trick, for me, is to find collages in my archives that haven't already been posted here.)

Background is blue acrylic paint. Spotted mammal is a malagasy fanaloka—a sort of raccoon-like carnivore native to the evolutionarily isolated island of Madagascar. Bird is an Australian laughing kookaburra, a type of kingfisher.

With apologies to Andy Warhol, from whom I lifted both Beethoven & the little dog. The beauty is British actress Jean Simmons (Guys and Dolls, Elmer Gantry, Spartacus). I don't know what kind of bird that's supposed to be a statue of, but it looks kinda like a crow.

NEW THEME! "Watch the Birdie"

This week your collage must include at least one of our "feathered friends."

Have FUN!

Trout Fishing In America

An altered postcard of Richard Brautigan (1935-1984).  I have always been a #1 fan of Mr. Brautigan's work.  Learn more about him:

Note:  our scanner is currently not hooked up and I had to photograph the postcard with my iPhone.  Background is the cherry wood mantel in our dining room.
