May it please prove so successful they move on to Count Zero, which changed my life. I've been an assemblage artist for over 30 years.
Early in my career as a "box maker" I created this piece in homage, and through a "6 Degrees of Vancouver" passed this along...
Thank you for EVERYTHING Mr G.

Handcarving cellose acetate for custom eyeglasses.
Deep green and black translucent cellulose acetate from Mazzuchelli (Italy).
Finished custom eyewear created start to finish within a 3 day workshop at MOSH Eyewear Vancouver.
Eyewear by Eric Allen Montgomery; hair colour by Zed Payne, Big Bros Barbershop Vancouver; shirt by Robert Graham.
I just did a 3 day “Make Your Own Acetate Frames” workshop with Sara Moshurchak at MOSH Eyewear in Vancouver. Fascinating and fun, and not only did I up my technical knowledge and personal confidence, I came away with a crazyfun pair of Statement Eyeglasses. I highly recommend the experience.

I've read almost everything Doctorow has written... but have yet to read that one! Love his stuff - humour, romance, social and digital monkeywrenching... brilliant. And he's Canadian! 🇨🇦

I just hung a collection of my assemblages, from wall scale to werables, at Guelph's fantastic Together Again eyewear gallery. Maressa and Neil showcase some of the top global eyewear designers, and local artists as well - pleased to be one! I hope to show my eyewear designs there some day.
Extraordinary and fascinating book. My wife and I visited St Malo last year - it was surreal, knowing much had been bombed to rubble. Completely rebuilt with as much historical accuracy as possible; a strange blend of deep history, and contemporary upscale boutique shopping. Designer Di$neyland.
I use a Formanizer. Gave my Dad the gears for buying late night tv products when I saw his years ago and then, after he fed me several amazing variations of meals, bought my own. The waffle grids were an unexpected bonus, and the double hinge construction makes for hefty waffle (or riffle) depth.
I keep hearing about Tater Tot waffles but don’t generally have them in the house. Turkey stuffing waffles sound like gridded heaven.
Have they considered cf47’s own X feed?
I make dinner waffles aka riffles from precooked rice, egg, plus diced up whatever - veg like zuchs and tomatoes, ham or bacon, cheeses etc. Essentially all the ingredients of an omelette bound together with rice and put in the waffle iron. Moving on to dessert waffles is always an option.
That looks deelish… but far more like PIE. 🤔🩷
First job out of high school was dishwasher on the midnight shift at a 24 hour Howard Johnsons. Less screaming (although warranted), more weed.
5 mated pairs at our feeders all winter here in Guelph Ontario. ❤️
The same way the anti-vaxxers yelled that nurses and doctors were being paid to lie about the dangers of Covid. If my RN wife had been taking the $$$$ the idiots claimed we wouldn’t be driving a decade old car and eyeballing our grocery bills.
Always fascinated by the “they’re all paid” responses… like the magats forget which side the billionaires are bankrolling.
I live in a city of 140,000 people an hour west of Toronto - and you can’t get a 1bd apartment for under $2k here either. It’s fucked up.
With kiddos and veg, I wonder if if it helps to take the “spaghetti = worms n garbage” approach? My whole attitude towards Brussels sprouts changed decades ago when a friend casually referred to them as BUDGIE HEADS. Can’t unsee that. 😛
I used to love onions. And garlic. Then in my early 50s my digestive system turned traitor and I am now on the FODMaP diet (negating fermentable sugars) and alliums are my worst of many triggers. It sucketh. And eating out is a nightmare because, as your husband notes, they’re in EVERYTHING. 😒
bacon and a nice hit of maple syrup 😍
roast it or bbq it 😍
I’M IN! 1 of my three submissions was selected for the 44th annual INSIGHTS juried exhibition. OUT OF CONTEXT is one of two sculptures I created last summer in the workshop of the same name taught by assemblage imagineer wizard Gary Carlson. Mar 27-May 25 Wellington County Museum, Fergus Ontario
Handmade eye glass frames in vintage cellulose acetate. Work in progress.
Playing w latest vintage cellulose acetate eyewear designs. Making it up as I go and having some #studiofun. Better for my head and heart than watching the news. These are my 4th & 5th designs and I learn a bit more each time. Next is filing and grinding. #celluloseacetate #handmadeeyeglasses
There’s a line in Pete Townsend’s song ‘Slit Skirts’, “…But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym.” that I often have earwurmed gym mornings. I love the song; current frustrations? not so much.
How long before Canadians living in the States get thrown into internment camps? #hahajustserious
I don’t understand how you confused the vertical farming towers as an NDP platform when they have long been a foundation of the GREEN party, who were completely missed in your synopsis. To be fair, this happens to the Greens. A lot.
I know, and for what it’s worth, deeply sorry. Up here in Canada we are watching in horror and sorrow, afraid for friends and family down there, and concerned for our own wellbeing up here, and wondering when and what it’s going to take before people stop and say “No; that’s more than enough”.
Awesome 💜
Is “waffles and fight back” not an option? I hope so, or finding waffles, let alone butter and syrup is going get challenging.
