Edward deeds created over 283 drawings done on ledger sheets, each bearing the name of the hospital, State Hospital No.3, a Lunatic Asylum in Nevada, Mo. where he was a patient. The drawings were later rescued from a trash heap by a 14 year old boy in 1970, and discovered thirty six years later by Harris Diamant. You can listen to the full story in this incredible NPR interview and view more of Deeds work at The Electric Pencil.

Nikolai Tolstyh takes photos of paper animal silhouettes in beautiful, natural settings. The combination is incredible by using nature to provide both the color for the cutout and a scene to frame the animal. LOVE!!!
Her faeries climb the bare, brown trees,
And set green caps on every stalk; Her primroses peep bashfully From boarders of the garden walk, And in the reddened maple tops, Her blackbird gossips sit and talk. -Hanna R. Hudson, The Atlantic Monthly, April 1868 UK artist Emillie Farris creates intricate one-of-a-kind embroider hoops that feature detailed forest flora and fauna. Her work is all hand-stitched and kept on their original frame, drawing the viewer’s attention to the amount of handiwork that went into each animal’s coat or spotted mushroom cap! AMAZING!
The Wearing of the Green
By Dion Boucicault (1820-1890) Oh! Paddy, dear, and did you hear The news that's going round, The shamrock is forbid by law To grow on Irish ground. Saint Patrick's Day no more we'll keep His color can't be seen For there's a bloody law agin' The wearing of the green. I met with Napper Tandy And he took me by the hand And he said "How's poor old Ireland? And how does she stand?" She's the most distressful country That ever you have seen, They're hanging men and women there For wearing of the green. Then since the color we must wear Is England's cruel red Sure Ireland's sons will n'er forget The blood that they have shed. You may take the shamrock from your hat And cast it on the sod, But 'twill take root and flourish still Tho' underfoot 'tis trod. When the law can stop the blades of grass From growing as they grow, And when the leaves in summer time Their verdure dare not show, Then I will change the color I wear in my caubeen, But till that day I'll stick for aye To wearing of the green. But if at last our color should Be torn from Ireland's heart, Her sons with shame and sorrow From the dear old sod will part. I've heard a whisper of a country That lies beyond the sea, Where rich and poor stand equal In the light of freedom's day. Oh, Erin! Must we leave you, Driven by the tyrant's hand? Must we ask a mother's welcome From a strange but happy land? Where the cruel cross of England's thralldom Never shall be seen And where in peace we'll live and die A-wearing of the green. |
