Just a few of the many dozens of hand shaped postcards hanging from my workroom ceiling - part of a mail art project some years ago. I have a box full in the cupboard. They were hung like this in Worcester Art Gallery for a while and I never did get a photo of them so this is long overdue!
Today I went into town and got Archie some lights for his bedroom so he can read properly. I phoned the friendly retired electrician who promised to come and fix them soon. The charity shops were very busy but I didn't find much, just a CD of comedy from the BBC with Tony Hancock,Pete and Dud, Billy Connolly etc.
Hazel's been on the mac all day with college work so I haven't had much chance to use it. Just heard that a cyber-cafe is being planned for the derelict bit of the station which is good news - maybe use it myself if I can't get online at home!
This is such a great photo. Are you going to keep the hands on your ceiling?
ReplyDeleteA few have fallen down but hopefully the others will stay. I have to hide that horrible Artex plasterwork somehow!
ReplyDeleteFloss arrived today.
ReplyDeleteAs with all of your publications - excellent.
Rather an understated cover I thought.
I hope you'll get lots of contributions to Floss 2.
Glad you liked it. I almost put some real floss in the skulls teeth but thought that rather over - the- top. maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you have an energy-saving bulb!
ReplyDeleteWhat a rip-off they are too! I've never had one last more than 6 months!
ReplyDeleteOne hand in the bush is worth 2 on the ceiling. (That's a Dylan lyric from one of the lost episodes.)
ReplyDeleteGreat hands-on project, I must say, Michael. No wasted papers there. Quite handy.
Do keep up the good work. (But don't fergit ta rest in-between hand me down'zZ.)
It certainly gave that saying "hands across the water" a new spin ( especially when the draught catches them).
