The Mime - When Fantasy Becomes Reality

THE MIME
When Fantasy Becomes Reality

Claude spent most of his time living in a world of fantasy.

One day his fantasy became reality.

If only Claude could call out for help.

His frantic gestures led only to further amuse his viewers.

First act or grand finale?

The idea of a mime being trapped in a jar came from the classic "Mime trapped in a glass box" performances. When "fantasy becomes reality" is the theme of this piece. What if a mime was trapped in a jar and couldn't ask for help because he was a mime? What if the more frantic he became only led to further amusing his audience? Somerset Studio magazine had a "Call for entries - enchanting jar scenes". This is the concept that I came up with, perhaps a bit more odd than enchanting!

To see this jar and other jars view the March/April 2007 issue of Somerset Studio available here.

Thank you to my son-in-law Joel! You did an excellent job of modeling and acting out the mime role!

A place to Bark Dog Rescue - Art Auction

Below is a post by my Dear friend Bernie Berlin. So far our family has two rescue dogs from her. Simon a pomeranian (my Mom's dog) and Rufus a Boston Terrier. Rescue dogs come with their own set of challenges but we love them! There is a picture of Rufus in a previous post.

This is a collaged jewelry hanger with three bird pins similiar to the one featured in the Sept/ Oct 2005 Somerset Studio.
