It’s a whole new appreciation for snails!
I would NEVER eat one.
Although they seem to make cute pets.
They are possibly good for your skin, but I haven’t googled that.

Eye had an epic failure trying to make a Snail Lady of my own.
Still, Eye got to try 3 new colours in a new brand of water colour pencils. What was Eye thinking? A Snail Lady with blue eyes?
This post is a loving tribute to all Rhinos.
RHINOS
Gigi made Rhinos for Holly, Beth and Resa. Aren’t they beautiful? They each got to name their own Rhino.
They decided their Rhinos should meet for a playdate in a Flower Fairy Garden.
Of course, where there are flowers, there are butterflies. Hello, Butterfly Boa Lady here! Like me, the Rhinos will be adored by all butterflies.
Runway belongs to Holly.
Rosy belongs to Resa. 
Resa horned in with a little fun with Beth’s fun.
Roland belongs to Beth.
Resa scouted the garden, to make sure there were more than enough flowers for the Rhino’s, and that there would be plenty left for fairies and butterflies.
Resa photographed this beautiful Rhino & Waterbirds mural in 2014. It’s since been demolished, but if you click on the pic, you can visit the post
Thank you for for taking the time to enjoy our Rhinos Playdate Scrapbook!

You put a spell on me, now I’m the magic on this wall.
When Torch Singer Rene Rosso saw this captivating wall art, she felt the spell’s magic, and has added the mesmerizing Jay Hawkins song, “I Put a Spell on You” to her repertoire.
One of her fave renditions (of the uber many) is by Joss Stone.
Like the music, the art draws one in.
Rene Rosso and her alter ego Princess Blue Holly, are greatly influenced by Holly – House of Heart
Resa would like Rene Rosso to make the poem – black spell night – by Holly into a sultry Torch Song. Resa has designed the perfect gown (above) to go with it.
Click on the poem, and see the original post!

Direct from Manchester, UK; courtesy of Alex Morris via Professional Moron is this fabulous wall art of a Blue Tit, by Sarah Yates.
“This piece was commissioned in 2011 by Converse as part of the Wall to Wall project. Sarah Yates is an illustrator focusing on topics of environmental awareness. She is well known for mixing graffiti with graphic design and taking inspiration from nature, especially from birds, which are her favourite subjects, as we can see in this large-scale mural depicting a large blue tit.”
As a thank you to Alex, I present this garage door art of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I find the piece quite humorous, indeed.
If you have ever been to the Professional Moron blog, you will see that humour reigns supreme, which makes this the most apt thank you.
Of course it’s not all fun, much of which can involve Arnie & other famous personalities. Alex does fab book reviews, movie reviews and game reviews.
🌼Humungous thank you’s to Alex for the Blue Tit!🌼

Arnie Artist:
There was a Metallicat a few blocks from me, but it got painted over.
It was very exciting to find a new 4 Gi Metallicat in Kensington Market.
It’s the year of the butterflies out in the alleys. On my street art safari, I also found birds and faces, but no cats, except for Metallicat.
Maybe next year will be a good street art cat year.

Imagine doing this to make a living?
Anyway, it’s so hot this summer, just looking at this cools me off.
Painted in 2014 on a very rough, flaky wall by the lakeshore, It has survived with dignity.

The Artists:
Josh Middleman was the 4th of 7 children. His harried parents had few moments for him. From his 1st day at school, he felt invisible.
No one stopped him from joining in schoolyard games, although he was never a winner even when he won. When he graduated, they were one gown down & one cap short. Josh had to wear his suit. No one noticed. Although he graduated in the top 10 of his class, serious career positions eluded him. His life was a wreck.
One day he came upon a Clown College. Frustrated & bitter, he shuffled through the doors with an upside down smile on his face, and a tear in his eye.
“You’re in” shouted the Clown College recruiter, as he handed an enrolment form to Josh.
With a painted smile and a hidden heart, he graduated with honours.
As a clown, Josh made many laugh and feel happy. Others were crazy clown scared. Whatever, he was not invisible anymore. Josh Middleman was a “must have clown” for all children’s parties, parades and local promotions.
Eventually, he married and earned enough money to buy a home at Queen’s end. Here, Josh would don his ginormous clown’s shoes and think with glee, “In your face, unhappiness!”
