I'll Never Fall in Love Again 
(Burt Bacharach / Elvis Costello)

What do you get when you fall in love?

A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

(still, i prefer the conservatory trained--dionne warwick singing this :D)

                            art pin brooch about 3x4 inches
                                     mixed media

                    .... the making. needle, thread, batting, lace, metal
broken heart "love" inscripted, carved wooden skull wd red eye bead, broken zipper, shattered wings of wired and rhinestoned butterfly, antique finished chain balls, dried lonely flowers, black vinyl for final backing, metal pin, and lots of hand-sewing as in manual. needle and thread and bare hands. :D. extreme right is my 2 a.m snack: sliced guacamole (avocado lang 'teh :D) with milk and sugar, (shud up. honey is expensive) and a hot drink.

 Raindrops Keep Falling
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/burt-bacharach-lyric/raindrops-keep-falling-on-my-head-lyrics.html )

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my, head they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me.

        
                 "raindrops blued"
               about 2.75 x 4 inches
            art pin/brooch. mixed media

(my cams busted---will try it with my students' dslr--they have classes--cant bother 'em  now. where's all the money gone? that i can't or won't(?) buy new one?)

i promise you--this one's real neat than its pictured. more cool. and will make you hum that many baby boomers top favourite love struck days song (not to mention karen carpenters' yet.--oohhhh) "raindrops keep fallin on me head". a dionne warwick voice is a must or forget it.

                 the "raindrops blue" plan and an imagined french quiche meal
                 sans the pie, and greens are chopped huge :(
          

black forest

an ode to black forest cake 

by Carrie Boissiere

O cake of the black forest kind

Where trees therein, n'er will you find

Rummy deliciousness, cherry brandy's sweet kiss

Stress it melts, as you eat to unwind

                                                   Contemplate please this chocolatey sin

                                                     Bake it right, and you're sure to give in

                                                         Eat until meh tail full, thinking ... 

                                            this sure is goodTis no loss, cause it's only win win

william wordsworth on "daffodils"

...for oft, when on my couch i lie

in vacant or in pensive mood,

they flash upon that inward eye

which is the bliss of solitude;

and when my heart with pleasure fills,

and dances with the daffodils.
