A taste of sandals
I might have mentioned [he says, modestly] somewhere in a recent post, our recent attempts at collage. One reason we were so attracted to the paper-ripping arts was the price of materials. No expensive pigments for us; just put a bin behind the letterbox to catch each day’s junk mail and voila! — we can create a new artwork at virtually no cost. Unfortunately, we may not be able to pass on our 100 percent savings to potential future buyers of our, er, stuff, but hey, what wouldn’t you give to own a Frumplingtons original? (Don’t answer that.)
One great way to find things to use in collage, is to send away for lots of catalogues. Amazingly, you can just hack them up to your heart’s content and — get this — never ever buy anything out of them. I know; it’s shocking, isn’t it? We’ve also started sending off for the occasional holiday brochure. Only the best ones, of course. Like the latest one from Sandals, called ‘A taste of Sandals’. It’s packed with pictures of tropical paradise islands and people enjoying themselves. Stuck in Blighty for the rest of the winter? Ha, chew on these flip-flops, daddy-oh!
Photography notes: The black sandals are Shana’s own, as is the light covering of dust thereon. Don’t tell me you thought it was Barbados sand. You did, didn’t you?
