Hamster's Poo Poo Platter

>> Wednesday, 7 October 2009

The hamsters Roger and Rafa seem to stop fighting but there is the occasional scrap. Both of them tend to sleep in the same house since with Roborovski can't live alone or else become stressed and have a shorten life. I noticed a change in Roger- naught one, last Thursday I was work about 5 and was on wheel until 9. Several days he has woken early on spend on wheel. All I can hear is the constant 'chung, chung'. Even of he falls off, do 360 still gets back on wheel and continues. Nothing seem to distract him from his wheel, not even picture of man from magazine.
The hamsters look a bit scruffy and their claws are becoming long. Generally, the weather has turned gloomy and become very cold all of a sudden, after the Autumn Equinox the days have become shorted. I won't think this would affect the hamsters as they normally active after 12.oo a.m.

This was mailed to me which came as surprise as thought all overseas mail were caught up in the backlog of the postal strike and there's another sometime in the future. The envelope was from Samuel Montalvetti, I posted something to him last November and didn't seem to arrive in fact I posted a few things to other mailart calls and some where lost. Well, since I want to return to mailart might as well thought caution to the wind. October and November are last months to post before deadline for oversea mail kicks in.
Samuel sent me collage postcard looks the images were taken from Chatline or massage ads intermingled with Pucca stickers, more add and return stuff plus a call for artistamps.
I don't normally do artistamps because haven't got a clue on how to make them, I can make faux stamps. Really do some kind of piercing tool, could give this try as I do have the lick n stick glue.

Things were looking up last week, I had a few interviews something to give me purpose so I don't wake up in morning depressed with the feeling 'why should I bother?.' Recently been plagued with insomnia, dislike how everything is treated as competition this is like a diease of society. Why can't it like be mailart calls, exhibition where those who took part get to see their work along side others. In this world unless is insanely successful like Banksy, we are not appreciated for my art. My mum doesn't like my art, even hated my drawings and labeled them as 'stupid pictures' and on the kitchen wall are works of other people. I had to let this out as been bottling inside for years, the reason I chose to collage and do other things. The reason I continue to make art because this is my vocation and helps me makes life worth living although at times this may not to be enough. For every negative thought, 5 more positive things should be thought of instead and don't let pandas die out they have to exist as everything else on this planet.

There this another artform which I have come across zettiology and fluxus. Zettiology is term coined by Tracy Moore, not clear on what it means by the looks of journals another creative exploratory art, much like my collages. Have a look at the link and find out. Fluxus I'm not really clear as it has been mention a lot in the mail art community but seems to have connections with Dada. There's not exact way in making art you just do it as particularly in crafting scene there's seems to a lack of original- personal voice as quite frankly majority of the cards look the same.
