I will only say that papier mache folk art - similar to what you have there, except painted all over - were selling for $80 Canadian over twenty years ago in our fair province. You may have a new income stream there.
Thank you. You can use the photo on my blog as a guide--you know, the one of the back of my head and I'm wearing a white sweater that turned into a blob in the photo so I look exactly like the hunchback of Notre Dame.
Well done John! She kind of reminds me of our old Licorice (Barred Rock Hen). I've stopped by to see how you and the 'gang' have been doing...I hope you've all been well and are enjoying summer across the pond. All is well here on the farm in Kansas. We lost our beautiful rooster Romeo a couple of months ago :( and the odd hen here and there but to natural causes. Shep is still doing his job :) Anyway...I just wanted to say Hello and send you hugs XO
Make about ten of them , stick them in a house ......and laugh your arse off as the badgers fill their face with a shit load of daily mirrors and glue ....revenge is a dish best served cold !
In fact , get shit loads of extremely hot curry paste and smear it over them .....that should be enough for them to understand that " chicken" isn't that good after all
Who gives a shit what it looks like ? The badgers will have a mouth on fire for hours .....they will know exactly which field caused it ....problem solved !
What? the Tate will be ringing you soon..x
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou old fool. Just shut up and paint the chicken. We want to see it.
ReplyDeleteI have painted it.. The newspaper is suppose to be the feathers! Hey ho
DeleteI love the way that Joanne holds back her true feelings and makes sure she never lets anyone know what she really thinks.
DeleteOops. It's lovely.
Deletehaha
DeleteThe comments you get make me smile x
DeleteI thought we were all 'sad bastards' here?
ReplyDeleteFrom one SB to another, I think it's excellent. I wouldn't know where to start... well I'd be OK with 'First take your newspaper.' but after that...
Is there no end to your talents? It's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAny deep meaning to the placement of the words??
ReplyDeleteLol I had to cover one set which said paedeophile
DeleteJohn - it is absolutely beautiful - white sussex I think.
ReplyDeleteThat was the idea pat
DeleteI was just thinking the same.. x
ReplyDeleteI'll go away and wear the hair shirt for a week.
DeleteYou are so dada!

ReplyDeleteI think she's cute--almost as cute as I am.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I'll do a model of you next
DeleteThank you. You can use the photo on my blog as a guide--you know, the one of the back of my head and I'm wearing a white sweater that turned into a blob in the photo so I look exactly like the hunchback of Notre Dame.
Deletelove the goggly eye and the tail! it looks like a small turkey tail to me.
ReplyDeleteYou must come up with a name for that chicken! I think it's cute. Who knew you were so talented!?
ReplyDeleteThe googly eyes make it. Has exactly the expression I'd expect on one of your charges.
ReplyDeleteYou could fill the chicken runs with them as a decoy if the badger returns.
ReplyDeleteI think it's quite good. Is this a new category at the flower show? I am dying to see the other entries.
ReplyDeleteIs that an eye chart on its back?
ReplyDeleteLol....not quite....I was going for newspaper as feathers
DeleteThat's lovely! Why 'sad'? You should be proud - I would be.
ReplyDeleteThough I am a bit disappointed your title didn't refer to bodily fluids - for once.
DeleteI'll rectify that tomorrow
DeleteLooking much less like George now. And that should be your next project. In your spare (hah!) time.
ReplyDeleteFunky Chicken! x
ReplyDeleteYou have a cruel streak
ReplyDeleteLove it! x
ReplyDeleteOnce you've finished this pigeon you could perhaps make a chicken ;-)
ReplyDeleteHehehehe
It's looking good. We all have to give in to our creative side once in a while.
ReplyDeleteFirst prize coming up! I don't know in what category though!?!
ReplyDeleteYou could 'market' these John! People go NUTS over hen and rooster thingies! And this looks like folk art in a way.
ReplyDeleteIt's great! And much better than I could ever do, sad bastard that I am.
ReplyDeleteHey! That's cute! Do a goat next....hee hee hee
ReplyDeleteI'd make it into a hat! That's great@ And I finally understand why you love TWD.
ReplyDeleteWell done John! She kind of reminds me of our old Licorice (Barred Rock Hen).

ReplyDeleteIt's a jaunty little chook!
ReplyDeleteYour entry for the Crafts section of the Flower show? 1st prize me thinks! well done!
ReplyDeleteI tell ya ... its cute!
ReplyDeleteDid you say she was a scare crow ? Too pretty to scare anyone - love her x
ReplyDeleteI love it. If I can't have George, can I have that. Is it a cock?
ReplyDelete... they keep on flowing...
ReplyDeleteFolk art at it's finest!
ReplyDeleteYou're a bloody clever chook!
ReplyDeleteWell, I say, Isn't that grand! A few months ago, I had my first ever experience with papier mache and have sworn, Never Again!
ReplyDeleteI'd buy it. x
ReplyDeleteI like it. I'll take two of them!
ReplyDeleteAdd sculptor to your list of talents
ReplyDeleteI love it! Don't know about scaring crows though - is it six foot tall?
ReplyDeleteWell, for the sad bastard you art, you sure make me smile... and often!
ReplyDeleteA little brains. A little talent. With an emphasis on the latter?
At least it's not going to shit on the carpet. Or chew the sofa to bits. I'll take half a dozen.
ReplyDeleteI've had nightmares revolving around such creatures.
ReplyDeleteIt would scare me off your land.

SB No way. Love it.

DeleteGood idea matey.......I am worried it looks more like a Mexican pinyata

DeleteI was worried it looked more like a pinyata
