Still, that's OK for ya!<br /><br />Re your remark to mike and his response - yes please do go ahead and carry on under yesterday's Scorpio thread. If Scorpio isn't the exact topic of your continuation, it will be there in the background, and you'll be sticking to personal experiences anyway.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-23754502152633577622014-11-14T13:25:19.989-06:002014-11-14T13:25:19.989-06:00Twilight - Have you heard of the Museum of Bad Art...Twilight - Have you heard of the Museum of Bad Art? It's for real. The Wiki article is a fun read:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Bad_Art<br /><br />http://museumofbadart.org/<br /><br /><br />Sonny - I like COOLER temperatures, but not outright cold! I rarely use heating, so this is rough. It's a bit love-hate, as I love a cold house for sleeping under blankets, which is rare here in the deep south. When it's this cold, the waking hours require many layers of clothing. Another cold front will arrive Sunday and will be even colder. So, I'll have to turn-on heating briefly. I have electric heating, which is expensive and severely cuts into my budget. I'm not quite sure what you are referring to regarding my suggestion. If it's Scorpio-related, I doubt that Twilight would mind you commenting on yesterday's Scorpio post.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-74757046351601891992014-11-14T12:52:14.754-06:002014-11-14T12:52:14.754-06:00it was 29 when I woke at 7:30..

I like colder weather but I do understand ya'll not lovin' the cold.<br /> just send it over here:) <br /><br />ps Mike- I did as you suggested and I have to say I cried.. some tears were sad but others were because I finally knew that how I felt and everything others have said to me thru the years made sense.. <br /> maybe next week we could get an OT thread and I could explain more. <br />anyway-- thank you so much..

I have one or two inexpensive pieces myself - a couple of bird-like pieces in the front yard made from old tools and/or machine parts; and a smaller sculpture made by an art store's husband from old pieces of rusty machine parts; some pieces of driftwood (always loved driftood) and some petrified wood with nice markings, what appears to be an old gnarled and weathered head of a hitching post, and another small sculpture made locall in Santa Fe (I think) from bits of old wire and wood. <br /><br />So I do appreciate Arman's work, and have to say that it's a world away from the abominations of Tracy Emin and her peers, crafts, art and skills-wise. I agree with you on emin and her ilk. Arman is something else.<br /><br />Yes, we're (literally) below freezing most of the day here too.

I'm further prejudiced by the use of common items compiled to create originality in the name of art. That's just me, though, and I can appreciate these pieces for the impact upon the world of art! Obviously, accumulation art is highly desired...witness the Tracey Emin "My Bed" that recently sold for over $4 million (a dirty, unmade bed surrounded with an assortment of debris, such as cigarette butts and liquor bottles. Nor am I a fan of Warhol, with his colorized photographs, most done by his assistants.<br /><br />Adding to his grand trine and tied into it via Neptune, he has a wide yod formed from Mercury-Uranus-Neptune, which would put an emphasis on the unique, unusual, and surprising. I suppose Neptune allows for the mundane items to be re-seen as something more than the reality of their purpose.<br /><br />BTW - I'm so cold!!!
