Found Art
I found this the other day on a table in the college canteen.
The writing on it says: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" - Oscar Wilde.
One of the joys of being in a creative workplace surrounded by artists is that the banal becomes the sublime.

Hi Maz, yes, I wished I had seen this before I sent off your deco - I would have pilfered the idea!

Yeah Jill, it is great, I think I take it for granted mostly, but this really brought it to my attention!

Wonderful! How funny and quite touching :)
Hi Fran,
Yes, I have found all sorts of things on the tables (I work there at lunchtime), like pictures made out of pistachio nut shells, messages written in salt, drawings, origami animals and I do feel touched by them.

I wonder what that banana skin would be like after drying out? Worth an experiment or two.
I used a cut apple for CandG work and I still have the apple as hard as rock now, but oh so interesting. I took photos of it at various stages of decay. Did the same with peppers, cabbage leaves etc. too. I will try to find it and put it on my blog.
That is wonderful. Makes me smile. :)
