poor cock robin
I have to tell you though, I have found these old books to be full of violence! Between the rhymes and Wile E. Coyote dropping that anvil on the Road Runner's head... it's amazing we turned out as well as we did. And how about Tom and Jerry? Geez!
I often suggest to my students that they try putting text in collages upside down when it's not related to the subject matter, or they do not want it to be read and processed by the viewer. Be careful not to include the obituaries or police log in your work, too.
As for Cock Robin, may he rest in peace.
And I think I would not even include him upside down.
Funny post. I found a vintage mother goose book at a yard sale for 10cents! And yes I agree with you...weird stuff in there. If anyone can work magic with a picture it is you. I so enjoy your work.

ReplyDeleteThank you Elisa! I do love the nursery rhyme books anyway! I found that the Best Loved Nursery Rhymes was a lot lower key than The Original Mother Goose!
ReplyDeleteOh I know you will do wonderful with Mother Goose and all her children. xo
ReplyDeleteThat's funny...I use the book "The Secret Garden" for that reason. I also use glass beads to cover print so you can't read it but it still shows thru and people love the texture. Counting the days til Sedona :)...safe travels.
