FAMILY GATHERING

Family gatherings can be joyous.  But, who's going to take care of the baby, while the mother takes a much needed break to dance?!  If anyone needs a break, surely it's her!

TASTING

On the back of a frozen pizza box, an illustration pictured toppings lying on a wooden table.  And after some time of turning and viewing, the above vision began to materialize, as I worked my scissors to reveal a figure.  The figure appeared to be tasting something; likely something of the pizza inside the box.
 

ART EXHIBIT

 Just a note to let you know that a selection of my work has been accepted into the virtual art exhibit of the Luzerne County Community College's art collection in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, one of my alma maters.

LOUNGING ON A PILBOT

         He used to live on the back of a pizza box when I found him. We placed the actual pizza in the oven.  It was delicious.  Later on, I cut him loose from the illustration on the back of the box among some of the ingredients. You can see how glad he was that I brought him out to venture into our world.  He looks really happy to me.

I Wanna' Dance With Somebody

These two seem magnetized to one another now. But, I rescued them from two very different places.  I was having a hamburger over at the local Burger King, when I saw this tall figure on a place mat among some hamburger fixin's.  Well, I got out my folding scissors and cut him loose.

Later that evening, I was cutting this little lady out of her lonely place on a container of almond milk.  She had this look of longing on her face and I thought, "longing for what? - You poor thing."  Just then, I thought of the hamburger guy I'd cut loose from his lonely place mat - And - Here they are together! Don't they make a great couple!?
 

Mato Von Hamburg and Cat

These two interesting characters caught my eye as I munched on a delicious Burger King burger and fries and washing it all down with an iced tea.  I know not to treat myself to fast food too often.  But, I also believe in letting go once in a while.  And I was rewarded for .... Hmmm, I guess I was rewarded for balancing my eating habits in a practical way.  Because I found these two weird kind of whimsical characters. Hey! I Love these guys, man!
