...and here they are:
 |
| Tammy made individual poppies for each of the fallen soldiers from WWI for the ground beneath the donkey's feet. |
 |
| Tammy Bradford (Museum Manager Extraordinaire), Lynne Mizera and me (missing from the photo is my John, who was taking it - he did all the research for the project, as well as some stapling to boot!) |

| Donkey Bombing complete |
As always, when I get going with the gel plate it's really hard to stop. And you know I have a very large stash of ribbons, right? This could get crazy!!!
And if I've got a large stash of ribbons right now, what's going to happen when I start looking/shopping for patterned ones? Heaven help us!
Thank you for this art display. Very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the impact it has; it was a brilliant idea on Tammy's part, and I was delighted to be a part of it.
DeleteThat is such a great thing with the banner and all the individual poopies! Great! And wow - what a fantastic idea - you always inspire us to new things ... never thought of using a ribbon that way...cooool!

I very much enjoyed being a part of the banner memorial, Susi. And thanks for the kudos on the video - that was a hoot (well, apart from being mechanically challenged when it came to dismantling the brayer :D ).
DeleteThe title Donkey bombing doesn't do justice to the meaning behind the event but I guess otherwise it is appropriate. - well done all three of you!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Val, but since the banner is in no way labelled as a Donkey Bombing, I think that's OK. :D It was a great idea, and a privilege to be part of it.
DeleteWhat a sweet and thoughtful project, it turned out very well. And your ribbon prints are lovely as always. I am amazed at all the different ways you create, as my son would say you are the "Mac-daddy Chicken Rocker" and that's as good as it gets at our house. Have a Great one.
ReplyDeleteThanks on both counts, Deann...I love your son's saying - I might have to steal that one! Happy weekend to you and your fam, my friend. xo
DeleteLooking lovely, Win. A fitting memorial.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous papers, too. I'm coveting that large gelli-plate but I can't justify the expense and the space it would take up in my tiny studio :)
Thanks on both counts, Tracy...and I have to tell you that I love the larger gel plate. I'm fortunate to have such a large studio because, truly, I'd be lost without a plate that totally covers a standard sheet (8 1/2 by 11 inches here). It sits pretty near permanently on my drawing table!
DeleteOh, I love this unique donkey, Win.
ReplyDeleteAnd your papers are simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, my friend.
Thanks, Mia - the donkey sculpture is part of a regional sculpture initiative, and it's a favourite place for all sorts of 'bombings', from flowers to earmuffs, depending on the season. Thanks for the kudos on the papers - that was a fun printing session!
DeleteThe banner looks great and I love the donkey too. I fully understand what happens when you get the Gel plate out, I have the same problem! xXx
ReplyDeleteNext to impossible to shop, isn't it Angela...these just keep on printing and printing and... :D
Deleteoh how you and your shenanigans make me giggle! you and that gel plate are quite the pair! heehee
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing more pics with us and your son is super for doing the research!
Hoping all is well in your neck of the woods! I might be close to you, I am here in Port Orchard,Wa visiting my son for the week,waving at you Win! xoxo
Hard to get away from the gel plate, Jackie...I am a gel plate addict, definitely. All is well here, and I think I can just about see you waving with my third eye - lovely that you're in our neck of the woods! xo
