Sweet, Sweet Moleasses

Something for the person who has everything, now on ebay:

These are the by-product of my taxidermied  Mole Front ends ( see my other listings)

Each Jar contains Four rear ends of moles that have been treated and stuffed professionally.

They are not to be sniffed at, taken out or fiddled with They are for display purposes only.

They don't smell as sweet as Moleasses.

Dinosaur Teeth Around My Neck

Went to the Art Market Craft Sale last night, looking for something new and wonderful, and I found it in the ridiculously gorgeous chiffon scarves at Jungling Works, based in Drumheller. She prints fabric with her own photos of lichens, landscapes and natural patterns, and they're a wonder to behold.

The last thing I need is another scarf, and I was resisting mightily until she pulled out this golden beauty, bristling with T. rex teeth and calling my name.

Sold!

Fish Girl at Phantom Wing

I visited Phantom Wing last night, and saw this creature in the Girls' Room. My camera battery was dying so I didn't get shots of the chanting lab rats building a giant rat god in the corner, or many other things. But I'm going back tonight!

 

From the Phantom Wing Facebook page:

Through a series of large-scale artworks, PHANTOM WING invites 15 Artists/Collectives to explore the soon to be demolished 1960s wing of the historic King Edward School prior to redevelopment as a multidisciplinary arts hub (cSPACE).

Description

PUBLIC OPEN DATES: SEPTEMBER 24 - 29, 2013

PHANTOM WING is a pre-demolition project exploring the 1960s wing of the historic King Edward School. A community of 15 Artists/Collectives are invited to create large-scale installations within the abandoned wing. Artists are encouraged to fully utilize the space and re-appropriate discarded materials when possible. The resulting exhibition will be both an echo and a bang: a reflection and a mirage. In essence, PHANTOM WING proposes the creation of a phantom limb – an event designed to resonate long after the building is severed from its adjoining sandstone counterpart.

Recognition Software is watching you

For the past few weeks I've been seeing stranger and stranger combinations in my newsfeed; bats and skulls and more skulls and ghosts and unicorns and owls and gargoyles...these are all images that Facebook has kindly put together for me, the only changes I made are taking out personal information.

Scary or funny? I'm not quite sure about this recognition software thing. I'm watching you, Facebook...while you're watching me.

Mysterious Art on Calgary Telephone Poles

Where does it come from? What does it mean? It's like a scavenger hunt for art, and maybe I'm the only one playing.

Here's more Calgary Telephone Pole Art.

The Kensington Chalk Bandit

This morning on my way to work I noticed  mysterious chalk writing on side street sidewalks. Plants were identified; ferns, trees and flowers. Fences, both chain and picket, were named in a clearly written hand. The Chalk Bandit defined a green gate and another green gate, and a chunk of petrified wood.

Even a black car and an orange house were not safe; nor was the Kensington Starbucks. Thank you, Chalk Bandit, for the big Tuesday morning laughs!
