NEVER CHOOSE

No right minded man would ever choose

mental illness to cure the blues.

    So true Michael.

    I can understand that sculpture being tactile, I feel as though I want to touch it.

      It's so smooth - I collected the wood in Sardinia.

      A fine write and pic M.
      There's a stone/rock like this, along a track I walk sometimes. easy to trip over. It needs to be rooted out of the ground.

      • Michael Edwards

        take it home, wash it, polish it with beeswax - voila!!

        • orchidee

          I will pretend I made it as a sculpture. lol.

            It's called found art but it takes an artists eye to spot it and develope it - go for it Orchi.

              I gotta dig it out of the ground/dirt-track first. They will think I am vandalising the countryside! Well, it'll save folk tripping over it. lol.

                Miss Berles is very old fashioned - that's why there's an extra 'e' on develop.

                • orchidee

                  Does she say 'Ye fine poetes'? She borrows the extra 'e' s that the Americans don't use. Or should that be extra 'o's - color, humor, etc?

                  Your sculpture today looks like something i would like to sit with in my hands as a comfort or relaxant. Immediately i feel its a very tactile piece.

                  Maybe the blues is itself a mental illness.

                  BRIAN HERE ~ GOOD AFTERNOON Uncle Mike ~ Love Olive Wood it is as some have suggested ~ A hand massager to banish the BLUES ! I wont tell you this but (sotto voce) in the sculpt *Yo visto un Gato como Smokey* what a surprise !
                  Your doublet is an OXYMORON but it is legal during LOCKDOWN ! No B & A Ode today ~ just a NEW FUSION on Dream Jobs ~ Please check and (if so moved a) throw another LOGO on the FUSION !

                  Thanks BRIAN & ANGELA & SMOKEY 💛💛💛

                    Off to look at the fusions - thanks Brian.

                    I visualize a tortured brain and then fall in line with the insight so professed.
                    Thank you.
