Art Supplies

My friend Vi sent me an image of this sculpture made entirely of paper. The artists are Allen and Patty Eckman and they use inspiration from the American Indian culture. Allen made the comment that he felt paper allowed for unlimited detail. When he touches paper that proves to be true. I am not use what impressed me more. The hoops, the fringes or the fabric of his clothes.

Maybe fruit is your art supply. I have to admit never looked at this piece of fruit and thought....hmmmm it looks like a dachshund. This artists saw, created and successfully completed his vision.

Recently at our local farmers market a vegetable carving competition took place. I was anxious to go see what people came up with. I mean once you have done the flower radish and the watermelon bowl what's left? I had no idea a yellow squash could look like art. I mean art in the truest sense of the word. Not clever, not cute but really artistic carved with designs.

(Now you're asking yourself, where is a picture? Good question. My camera wondered the same thing. It sat on the table by the door as I hurried out so as to not miss the judging. )

There really is nothing that can't be transformed into art. So next time you bite into an apple think art. There could be a monkey lurking there. Next time you wad up a piece of paper think of a galloping stallion.
