Found Art Friday 233

Dear Ones,
Despite finding ourselves placed on a precipice
erected by two bufffoons
that are way too into their hair
running hot, wagging tongues waging
swaggering wars whilst investigation warms to cut close
around his sick heartlessness while we gawk with jaw agape
at nature's power to completely dismantle human efforts
while tweeting at-risk-for-stupidity senators regarding healthcare debacle
We would like to see (or make) a sine wave frequency of our global anxiety level
now
versus
then
Oh yes - here at The Department of Homeland Inspiration, where every day is full of work and play (if we are just able to notice and to breathe .....); the following lovelies and oddities have entered our community inbox:

Bonnie Hotz seeing dinosaur bones

Water smiling

Naval fleet, village or waiting in line

 We'll call them decompositions

Now here are a few more captures from Art Ranger out on the range.  These emphasizing the entrails of civilization:

Somewhere hot in Utah near a skinny horse

Cousin of squashed abandoned glove

We feel a nodule of narrative coming on .......  

Speaking of which, we found this page amongst the 48 years of flotsam and jetsam in the childhood bedroom.  Let's call it Story in a Jar:

Fiction Circa 1983?  We loved our typewriter - the rhythmic sound helped us want to keep going.

Have you changed much?  Please tell us through images or stories or squashed findings ... .......
send to FAF@homelandinspration.org and we will certainly try to weave it in.

Found ARt Friday 232

Dear ones,
While we were "at large" over the summer, a number of images crossed our path and here are some of them:

Richard Anthony reporting from Austin, where you are supposed to "keep it weird" 

It's kind of bipolar for the turtles, which makes perfect sense. Artarama is where mama want to be!

Many of you have experienced the environmentally friendly digital grafitti left by The Art Ranger
on Facebook ((oh geez now what've they done?)). When we notice friends images from a "found art" angle, we often comment "Art Ranger was here!".  Two from a high school classmate whom we haven't laid eyes on in person, for perhaps 38 years: Katie Sweeney Kikawa in Seattle area.

 "How does one survive this?"

Our menopausal teenage brain tries to remember her school girl essence and wonder about this person now, deduced from a few photographs, old and new.

Unearthed from her garden with dismay - 

Art Ranger found this edible mitt to be quite endearing.

@@@@@@@

Now a few more gleanings from the Colorado Motherlode (Home on the Range) area:

American Classic  - "Pioneer Modernism"?

It does make a difference how and when and where a thing was made!

And this:  A dedicated humor magazine    

We are in dire need of such at this moment! There is not quite enough humor to butter over the toast of our nation as it continues the excruciating "reveal".  Resist and persist we must, nevertheless!

Until we meet again: and we certainly hope that it could be through you sending an image of your own notion of "Found Art" To:  FAF@homeland inspiration.org.
