Nanski provided more ideas for the monster stamps. Now I'm tempted to see if I can find more of them. Grrr at myself for even thinking that.
I've been stuck in one spot (because there are workmen doing stuff) - filling up posts for the month of September and the goal was to get all the August mail loaded. I still have 12 envelopes photographed from August. In theory, it would make sense to get them all done today. However, the workmen have to run a loud fan and the noise has done something to me that is preventing me from managing my attitude. I need to switch gears and think of something else to do. Thank you for letting me vent a little. It's not really a whine - it's just a low level grumble as I figure out something to do other than run out the front door screaming. Now I'm laughing. I wonder what the workmen would do if I actually did that. I'm thinking of it as a piece of performance art. I would need a film crew to catch their reaction. Then we would get a film editor to turn it into something very clever. Then we would have to change our whole career path to making performance art....
......did anyone see the trap I was setting? Sometimes I surf - and then I see stuff that is truly inane - and then it gets so inane, I stop looking at it and go do something productive. So maybe that's the value of the inane stuff. It inspires us to think about how we are spending our time. Somehow the gems still reach me.

I do not wear jewelry - but if I did, I would be tempted to get some of this LEGO jewelry. It's so pretty - and clever.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. She has many designs - some more complex than this - and some nice videos showing how they are made.




All you need is a grandkids and a phone, no film crew necessary. Then you have them post it on YouTube, get a gazillion likes and become the next performance art influencer!
ReplyDeleteLove those lego rings! And that fun monster envelope would be perfect for Halloween envelopes.
There's a contest by USPS to bring back some favorite stamps. The Monster Message stamps was one. The contest is open until Sept. 30. The winning stamp will be announced May 2026 at the Boston 2026 World Expo. Vote here: https://www.stampsforever.com/vote
