China Girl

[florafloraflora]

As I've probably mentioned a couple or ten times, I have kind of a Thanksgiving fetish. Some people like Christmas better, but Thanksgiving is my holiday. Mostly it's the simplicity: all you have to do is get together with your family and eat a lot of food and then maybe watch some football, with none of the angst of giftgiving and Advent

You want to know something really cool. The Kinkade pictures you linked to aren't loading. A box outline shows up, as if it's trying to load, but then it just vanishes. Either your journal is refusing to show me Kinkade or mine is refusing to look. Whichever. I approve. :-)

BTW, while Christmas dinner in my mind is essentially a replay of Thanksgiving, only without the cranberries, I'm trying to imagine a dish made from pork, chocolate, and whipped cream. It's not a pretty picture.

Oh dear! Can you see the Woodland picture to the left of that paragraph? If not I think I might have to change the settings on the gallery.

So you've never heard of the traditional Christmas, uh... mole... trifle? Yeah, mole trifle, that's it. You've never heard of it?

Oh, Spode. Have you no pride left at all? Well, the upside is that it totally put me off my appetite for the Woodland stuff. Call me a snob, but one degree of separation from Thomas Kinkade is just not enough.

Rolling on the floor and clutching my sides as they split with laughter. I'm so sorry and I understand completely. They have just taken your 'kitsch' dish and stepped up and over the line toward tacky. Actually they've reinvented tacky but thanks for the laugh. I'm sorry about your china but think of the money (and face) you've saved?

Aside from dabbling in piano, writing and drawing, I have no special claim to being an artist, but this thing looks awfully interesting.

well that sounds like more than enough! I hope you'll enjoy it. There is a LJ community of it as well, isn't there always ;-)

Thanks. The key word here is "dabble". :D

[katcolorado]

so what!

I write, take pictures, both of it purely for pleasure. I didn't consider myself an artist and I am sure this made it almost easier to profit from the book. I wrote lots and had the courage to try NaNo. I took many pictures and learned a lot by that. I think it is a great programme especially for people who "only" like to do stuff

Hmmm... appetite-suppressant dishes... I sense a marketing hook.

Hmm...Spode's china is ... scary - especially the Woodland stuff. The Kinkades I'm actually used to, since they're currently the only jigsaw puzzles that are distributed in my area (or at least the only jigsaws with more than 500 pieces, and without an excess of Disney characters). Hmm...would Charles Wysocki be an improvement, do you think?
