Meanderings 9/23/2014

Some new work for your optical nerves:

"Deluxe Divining Rod"

Pretty wild stuff, actually, that a stick can help one find H2O.

"Popcorn Heart (for K)"

This was an actual piece o' popcorn from a batch of Kelly's late night snacks. Can't really take credit for anything more than jus' gluin' the thang onto foamcore.

"White-Capped Aquarium"

You actually can't even see the whitecaps . . . just take my word for it. Kinda proud o' this one.

"A Relatively Useless Basket (Skalski)"

A commissioned piece, of sorts for an old high school buddy and his lovely wife. 

They also like my pickles.

"A Relatively Useless Basket"

A series, no two are the same.

"A Relatively Useless Basket (Mini)"

Smaller version.

Poets, rappers and anyone interested in a rhyme have long been flustered and flummoxed over the inability to come up with a soundalike word for that damn citrus fruit, the orange. I have decided that the time is nigh to remedy that problem. I have taken the liberty to "invent" some words that will allow the rhyming class to come to terms with this age old problem.

My gift to you. You're welcome.

ectowournge (n) [êk'-tō-wærnj]: the outer surface of a used crustacean.
          Example: "The beach was rife with crab ectowournge after Monty's beach party."

phlornge (v) [flörnj]: flapping one's legs as though they are wings.
          Example: "Bob's wife loved to phlornge with the neighbor's dog, Effie."

ournge (v) [ørnj]: the intentional eating of an orange peel.
           Example: "The whole 6th grade class at Wenchestrick middle school dared Darren to ournge the whole crate."

dystopiornge (adj) [dù-stōp'-ē-örnj]: a hellish orchard.
           Example: "The back 40 had a dystopiornge odor, not unlike Stella's inner pant leg.

borange (adv) [bõrnj]: the quality of being a lackluster citrus.
            Example: "Tommy ate the fruit with a borange-like attitude."
