Last week I was in my Art in a Suitcase room giving my folk art collection a good dusting and washing. In the midst of this mundane job, a funny thought popped into my head…A LOT OF EYEBALLS ARE WATCHING ME! I looked around and realized that the number of eyes in this room was more than I would care to count.
The folk artists who created the art in my collection did not have the opportunity for formal training. The materials they use are basic; paint, paper, fabric and clay. But the work they craft is wildly creative and a constant source of joy. I love having all these eyes watching over me.
I could not resist getting out my camera and clicking away at the eyes. Nobody blinked. Here is the resulting video. Hope it makes your eyes happy, too.
Mary, last weekend I gave a grandson a book of children’s poems.
There was a line in there from a poem adapted by William Cole, “Foolish Questions.”
Perhaps you would enjoy the concept.
“And can his eyes be called a school?
I would think–there are pupils there!”
Yes, I like it, and I know that kids would as well.
Mary and Russ-dee-lightful!!!
