I haven’t told you about the chickens in the kitchen yet.
I really love the site Neatorama, and often they feature these amazing cut-paper sculptures like this, but I’m not brave enough to attempt it. A while ago they had an artist who cut out around pictures in old books, but I can’t find that link.
I couldn’t make art with books, but I could ruin them forever cut out some pictures and frame them. I had some old frames lying around and thought about cutting up some of Lloyd’s old books, but they don’t have many interesting pictures in chess books. So, I dug into some of the ancient children’s books that are gathering dust in the basement. I cut up one that isn’t a good story, but had sweet pictures.
The logical place for chicken pictures was by the deviled egg plate. (I’ve only made deviled eggs five times in my life, but I love that plate.)
I realize that the frames are too high on the wall, but honestly – when is an art critic going to walk through our house?
