All I Want For Christmas
I want my very own Art O Mat
Red would be nice
All stocked up
And a Photo Booth would be good too.
Dear Santa
I've been very good
so please keep this in mind.
I'd also like a typewriter.
If I don't get what I wished for, at least I know I can go over to Rayko Gallery in San Francisco and play with their toys. And, I have been buying a few postal presents for myself. More about those later.
I have never seen an Art O Mat, though I've read of others' experiences, and once played with one via surrogate in Western Massachusetts. My surrogate wrote me a one word description of my choices, I picked and pretended to pull the knob, and she sent me the art. It was wonderful. All I'd like for Giftmas is to be able to see an Art O Mat in person.
Isn't the Art-O-Mat super fab? During the teaching semester, I usually walk my book arts students over to Rayko and extol the virtues of "democratic multiples". It's part of a larger "DIY with what you have" lesson... --JH
Pamela, I would really like a photo booth too. I'm sure there's room for one here somewhere in the house...maybe in the living room. Oh, I just looked online and it appears that the nice ones start at $7,500 and go up to $11,000. Hard to justify that, but I do like the idea of renting one for parties.
We have an Art-O-Mat here in Chicago but I've never bought anything. It would be cool to own one.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you own one you have to keep it stocked with your own art!
ReplyDeleteI hear Santa likes bad girls, but I could be wrong;
ReplyDeletehope you get that typewriter one way or another,
before too long.

ReplyDeletePost Muse, come visit San Francisco and I'll take over to play with one......

JH--yes, it is fab and aren't your students super lucky to have you as a teacher?! (You are an inspiration to me)
