Okay, I'll bite. What the hell is that?

Yes, I see that there is a bum in the middle of the thing, but what is the thing itself?

Great title, by the way!

OK, I'll bite back. It's one of my pieces. Something I made years ago when I was making the shift between jewelry and sculpture--the bum is a photo--self portrait I did and it is set behind a rutilated quartz stone and set in copper. The photo reminded me of those old nudes from the 1800's so I set it into a copper frame to give it a feel of a daguerrotype...it used to have a chain draped through the rivets and around the stone, but that fell off. And of course the 'for amusement only' coin--well--make of that whatever you will.

The light in my room this morning was really nice and I took some pics of the crap that is on my dresser--this is just a tiny portion of it.

p.s. Remember, you too can kick coin slot dryness to the curb!!

I'm thinking some sort of Hindu dancer holding a section of something with either a mirror on it or a convex lens with the picture mounted underneath.

Man, given the image, there has to have been a better way to phrase that. Oh well.

Well, I was close...

'Mounted' will do just fine, darlin'.

As will my identification of the object as one of 'my pieces'.

And all the 'biting' going on is rather funny, too.

Oh, we are a wild pack of horndogs, aren't we? Don't ponder that--just smile and say 'Yes, Ma'am...'

You all- I've seen the art Miss Effie/ Laura has done, and has potential yet to do, and I am honored to be privy it all. Serious, people.

Keep going, my leedle art-pooper. Life has it in for you to be a famous sort.
