I made a Dada fan out of my collages.....
Sorry friends that I´m so absent ..... I will not write a private article on the www - but I just want to let you know, that I am very busy at the moment with different issues. I´m missing you and KK and I hope that I will be back end of August/ beginning of September!

Pasted down on this photograph of Land's End, Western Cornwall, England are nudes that appeared in paintings by Arthur B. Davies and Philip Evergood. The blazing sun is a "disc" from a painting by Adolph Gottlieb.

Theme of the Week - Games Without Frontiers
Looks like my turn to pick theme again - how's this one ? Games can include all sports and down to the simplest board game maybe. The Peter Gabriel song just popped into my head for some reason - all this nonsense about Brexit I guess! (What a mess!) Anyway, have fun as always!

The Mighty Gobstopper
The Gobstopper is a large ball of sugary confection not unlike a bubble gum but layers of different coloured sugar all the way through so as you suck it , it changes colour.

First Sweet, than Sour ...
"Now Cheers., here's to you our sweet precious queen ..
it's a pity your birthday this year is on our 'Halloween',
but first eat and drink as much as you can, it's your party, your show"
(Oh how I wished I could have read this poem to Edgar Allen Poe)
