Franciscan TIKI Starburst
Okay......I got all jazzed up about the idea so here it is. What can I say. Retro, pop, futuristic + Tiki.
Franciscan Starburst as art
Recently, I discovered for the first time a set of China I had seen before, but never appreciated for it's futuristic simplicity and quality 1950s kitsch appeal. My friends have come along for the ride. So with all the retro modern popularity being as "hip" as it is, I couldn't be having more fun.
Coming soon, Starburst + Tiki!
Oh yes!

Favorite new pet names
Our church recently had a blessing of the animals AKA Feast of St Francis. I missed the event due to a family emergency, but my friend was kind enough to tell me the most unique cat names he had heard from a very sweet older woman who brought her kitties to be blessed by the Franciscans.
The precious names were:
Forbidden Passion
Little White Guy
and
Not Tonight Honey.
Gotta love it.

New art - Batman & Robin
Anyone who is anybody knows my affection for all things Batman & Robin, especially from the 1960s. Call me old fashioned, but there is something plain and simple about that old show.
Here's a peek at the new art.
Back to the canvas!

Random favorite words
When I was a kid, I used to love to play on my grandfather's old fashioned typewriter. This was the 70s, so it wasn't electric, but we loved it. I remember once how impressed I was he wrote to then, Governor Ronald Reagan on it.
I never knew what to type and at ten years old, I definitely wasn't fast. But I used to love to make lists of the things I loved, and oddly enough, things I still love today. What I enjoyed was how certain words looked in typewritten form in black ink. As I look back on what it was I typed, I realized it's things that are still part of my life in one form or another. This is the list of those random words, just for my own personal fun. I seem to recall the italics to show SPEED, but it could just be my IMAGINATION. Indulge me.
