Art Burglar by Rainy

July 14th, 2008 4:50 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Steal something physical from another player. Create a piece of art using this object. Be very careful when choosing said object. Something as mundane a newspaper or an old box may have personal value to its owner.

While at Sparrows Fall's for our second motico making party, I was presented with an irresistible opportunity to steal something from her. Discovering the total lack of glue or glue-like substances in her home, Sparrows and Evil Sugar left on a glue-acquisition mission, leaving me, and Sweet Potato, all alone to do as willed. I felt Sparrows had been somewhat traumatized by the loss of her cough drops to an earlier art burglary, so I decided to go for something she seemed truly unlikely to miss.



Stolen from the lair of Sparrows Fall: One paper grocery bag.


Creation of art using paper grocery bag:


The Fish of the Moon mask. For no reason in particular.



The finished work was sneakily snuck back into Sparrows' lair. I think she liked it; she hung it on the wall.

And the little danglies flutter when the fan is going, so it looks like swmming! =D

Fish is keeping me company while I'm reading (you will note the chair is positioned so that he can read over my shoulder, if he is interested).

Fish knows all, but he probably likes reading it again.

The gummies like the fish. It reminds them of the pretty mermaid box that Rainy made for them.

Also, the gummies would like to point out that Sparrows HAD SEVERAL OTHER BAGS OF COUGHDROPS. The coughdrops they stole were not essential medical supplies.

It's true, it's very true; I just didn't want her to feel persecuted; also grocery bags are easy to turn into art supplies. I think probably the bag of cough drops was a bigger challenge.

Cough drops are IMPORTANT HEALTH MATERIALS, Evil Sugar!!!!!

Important Health Materials. Pfft. The gummies direct you to this quote, from the movie Robin Hood: "You whine like a mule. You are still alive."

The dangles are the best part, it's true.
