The Wee Peeple Newsletter
Hunkering down in 2012
With hard-boiled, rust-marbled Political Operative, Stan the Can Opener Man;
Reality Interpreter, Will SeeStraightThroughMyHead; and
Endtimes Promoter, Clyde Clatterlips
It's finally arrived!
But just read this!
(Greek: "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") -is actually
a Disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind
in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception,
i.e. the veil to be lifted.
-Wikepedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse
As has been aptly proven in Our Times,
It's really more fun when "A Disclosure" and a "Lifting of the Veil"
is interpreted to mean:
Well, now, so the Dollmaker,
having already gotten the jump on the Apocalyptic Times,
and, in the spirit of the Mayan Elder's Reassurances that:
"We are Not All Going to Die, We're just Going to Change!"
she presents
(from the Greek eschatos meaning "last" and -logy meaning "the study of")
The study of what people believe to be
the final events of history,
the ultimate destiny of humanity
commonly referred to as the End of the World.
-Wikepedia

So, for the Eschatology Sculpture Exhibition
(on display in Storage Unit #2)
She describes the Overthrow of World Order
in terms of the Vague yet Meaningfully Familiar Shapes of Airborne Particles
...perfect for walls which are slightly burned...
Electric Stove Coils in Flight,
(flaking rust may accumulate beneath some of these sculptures...)
And the latest! An Apocalyptically Modified Three Little Pigs Purse!
uh-oh... what happened to the first little piggy... ouch.
"A writer - and, I
believe, generally all persons -
must think that whatever happens to him or her
is a resource."
-said author Jorge Luis Borges.
"All that happens to
us, including
...our misfortunes...
all is given to us as
raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art."
"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction".
-Pablo Picasso
Weeforestation, Weenewal, and Weebirth!
But first let's knock down some WALLS!
Seven gone... Only three storage units left...
leaving a long empty slab...
...and the Big Block Candy Mountain....
"Let's see you flip a coin with that Excavator!"
They did it too. (shakes head) What a bunch of crazy guys!
Avant-Grunge! Post-Demolition Abstract Spiralism!
was spontaneously employed to transform this dreary slab
into an inviting Neo-Apocalyptic Party Patio!
Home Sweet Home....
January 23rd: The first Party-Anyway
Every day something new in the driveway...
Yikes!
Not More Heavy Equipment!
What happens when these guys show up?
The Dollmaker gets a new UTILITY POLE!
-and a Security Light-
FREE! Compliments of Bluebonnet Electric
Thanks guys.
There's not much to light up back there, but it's a start!
uh-oh.

A mattress on the floor is a place to sleep but it's not a bed.
So... the Dollmaker went to Home Depot and bought ten 2x4's (white wood) and a box of screws and with the help of her brand new Compound Miter Saw (or... in contractor slang- a Chop Saw) was able to construct a bed which got the mattress off the floor and had lots of good storage space underneath.
yay!

Accurate Chop Saw Cuts definitely Rock.
FYI: The Ridgid brand Chop Saw has a device that holds the wood in place.
Lots of other brands don't have this feature,
but the Dollmaker finds that the satisfaction of an extremely accurate cut
hinges on being able to hold the wood tightly in place.

...and Melanie Harth was dreaming about a Goddess Doll.
but Hmmm... should it be a Light Goddess or a Dark Goddess?
Eventually she let the Dollmaker decide...
The Dollmaker went with...
Who IS this Dark Goddess?
the Dollmaker wondered
as she realized that she was being drawn into the Tidal Pull of this headstrong Doll who
was demanding that her deep blue robes be adorned with Seashells...
(HuH? Why am I putting shells on this Doll?)
... the Dollmaker tried to insist... But You are probably really a Mother Night...
You know, All Life sheltered under Your Dark Winter Cloak...
You know! First Doll of the Year! Hello!
But the Dark Doll would not listen.
Meanwhile,
for weeks the Dollmaker had been slowly reading Dion Fortune's mystical book:
The Sea Priestess
and
WOW!
...when she got to the part where the asthmatic guy is trapped
inside this cool Sea Fort during a horrendous Storm,
helplessly listening to the bashing of the heavy seas against the cliffs...
The sheer terror of the situation inspired her to paint...
The Sea Storm
"...The din was indescribable.
There was the high shrill screeching of the gale,
every pinnacle of rock and point of the building whistling it's own note:
then there was the general roar of the sea all around us,
and the thundering bang, bang, bang, as the breakers hit the point broadside on;
there was a furious rushing sound as the broken water raced up the rocks,
and the smack and spatter of the crests of the waves coming over into the forecourt...
Through it all came clarion-calls and bells..."
-inspirational excerpt from
Dion Fortune's book: The Sea Priestess
Hmmm... Then the Dollmaker got it.
When she stood in front of the painting of the Sea Storm,
the mysterious Dark Doll's True Identity was revealed.
