"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Pine Branches

I was looking for images on Pinterst of pine branches for a project and this image came up. I had to pause for a minute to figure out what was going on....and when I did I had to know more. It was done by Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli as part of his "Art of Clean Up: Meticulously Arranging Everyday Objects."  

I spent a little time reading articles and finding images that made me smile.

Here you can see where he tidies up some famous works of art:  https://www.demilked.com/tidying-up-art-ursus-wehrli/

I was intrigued....and it was good entertainment. I chuckled when I read in the New York Time article that when his 2 year old son scribbled on the living room wall he just put a frame around it.  "Art or mess...is in the eye of the beholder." Yes!



The pine branch search reminded me of this card I made for Connie years ago.  After she passed away it came back to me and I actually think I'm going to use a similar idea for the project I have in mind. So stay tuned....but it's going to a little on down the road.
