February Contest Image
Try your hand at coming up with a winning caption!
The Ballet
When my daughter was very, very young her art thoroughly explored the iconography of the ballet. Kind of like Degas. But her particular fascination was with the jeté, and her dancers were always surrounded by the bouquets thrown by their adoring admirers. She drew about three hundred pictures like this one:
When I make collages, I never work with any particular result in mind. I cut out a bunch of images, throw them on the table, and move them around until something emerges. When this frog’s head landed on this runner’s legs it looked familiar. I added a few roses… and voilà!
September Caption Contest Winner
This was the hardest month ever. There were so many great captions submitted. I finally narrowed my twenty-five favorites down to sixteen. I pasted up these sixteen so that Nathan could go through them and help me narrow them down further. We were only able, painfully and with much regret, to eliminate six. Which means this month we have one winner… and nine finalists!
It also means:
- We will definitely be doing this again next year!
- I’d like to ask you, starting this month, to have all submissions in by the 25th of the month so I have more time to make up my mind.
- I’d like your input: next year would you prefer I continue to try to pick one winner of a $100 gift certificate… or would you prefer I chose two winners of $50 gift certificates?
Although it was extremely difficult to narrow down the finalists, it was a piece of cake to choose the winner:
I still have to remember not to take a sip of water before reading this caption, submitted by Anne Gilot! Congratulations, Anne, and thank you for making me laugh… over and over again.
