(On a website that no longer exists) One year ago today, I, Fabiola, posted today in honor of Annony the commenter, who left this world one year ago today. RIP Ben Bridges.
Darlings! Since you are here Rural Artists, ... Consider Regionalism (Art not Politics, Dears)
What? Here, let The Fab give you a hint:
Americana In Progress by Mary Wilson
Oh, for goodness sake! It is the (counting on my fingers) 21st century. A revival, not a reproduction. Now, Mary is the creative one around here and she has this idea that the time for Regionalism as an Art movement has come (again). Essentially, this Art movement can be summed up as "yea Farm! City, not so much". That is the Fab definition anyway, Mary (of course) expands on that idea in a blog post. This is not a new thing for Mary -- she even talked The Fab into mentioning it via a link on one of her posts. Now, the Fab wonders aloud, are hairdressers and fancy dos allowed in this asthetic? The Fab will have none of it if they aren't.
But if you are a not so city Artist, and your work is about what you know, maybe ... The Fab has to hit the hairspray now.
Thank You Darling HeckofaGuy for the Liebster Blog Award!
The Fab knows that she doesn't deserve it, and she is humbled (as much as that is possible for a gal with such big hair), and promises to work harder to live up to DrHGuy's example of what a blog should be.
My Alter Ego Mary has had the Fab Locked in the Dust bin
She is a horrible drudge really. Your Fab has been locked in the dust bin because that horrible Mary has been working on getting her online Garden Sculpture Store off the ground.
Not off the ground like a kite, actually, the ground isn't involved all that much, the interwebs dears.
Get the word out for Mary will you Darlings? She is trapped on the farm most days and when she is not there, she is in the middle of a field on someone else's farm, and that doesn't make for a lot of human contact.
High quality, ORIGINAL (that means you can't get it anywhere else), hand finished concrete garden or home sculpture. Her work makes lovely gifts. Send the link to people that you know. Looking won't cost you a dime and will make Mary extraordinarily happy. (then maybe she will let your Fab out of the dust bin).
As the Fab says about Mary's Art: If you love it, buy one for yourself. If you don't love it so much, buy one for someone that you don't much like but have to give a gift to anyway.
Thank you for the attention Darlings!

Quick note from the future darlings: The sculpture went no where not because Mary wasn't trying and the items weren't lovely. Everything in Mary's world back then was a contest. If Mary decieded to do something, the Fella decided that there were reasons that she couldn't do that something. Mary would resist for a time, then pivot and think of something else entirely that she was going to do which caused the Fella to pivot to come up with reasons why she couldn't do that new thing. It was beautiful.
