(Actual 'Glasswing' or 'Invisible Butterfly')
I had this dream last night.
I'm at a big awards ceremony and I'm being presented with the top award.
By Jean Paul Getty.
For an art installation I call 'Invisible Butterfly'!
(I just Googled, and go figure but such a creature does exist! See pic above.)
I made the piece (this is still the dream) from 15,000 Tetra-Pak milk cartons.
Which I stuck together with glue to make a giant butterfly.
Each carton is then filled with helium gas and sealed shut.
The 'Invisible Butterfly' hovers magically 20 feet above our local art museum. (still dream!)
Never realised I was so creative!
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if someone robbed that idea from you, applied for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and got to work on it straight away. It can happen!
ReplyDeleteVery same thought just occurred to me UB! :¬)
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous! No, really!
ReplyDeleteSorry to clip your wings Madame Butterfly, but last night you were in a bar with me, and the only thing you collected was a packet of bacon Tayto's courtesy of Joe Murphy, and eventually my cold pint of black goodness which you spilt on herselfs oul coat.
ReplyDeleteFor the love of all things thirsty, always a fecking dreamer so.
Gorgeous butterfly! Had no idea it was real...
ReplyDeleteOh Jimmy! Don't burst his bubble! A few pints puts ideas in his head... and they wobble into shape as he sleeps off the drink.
what an incredible butterfly! as to y'alls dream, it could happen! remember the giant balloon animals...

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein after a dream she had, so it's possible.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my own experience of that was slightly less useable...
Leah; Thank you. :¬)

Jimmy; No more Tayto's for me, I'm back in training!
And yes, always a dreamer so!
See ya later, your shout I think? :¬)
Pon; Don't mind that cranky fecker, he'd be suppin' alone if 'twasn't for meself!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :¬)

sav; yes, dreams do come true, some have already! :¬)
xoxoxox
Kim; Cut-Throat Grannies? :¬)
ReplyDeleteWhat a super dream. A portent of things to come?
ReplyDeleteSo, have you started yet? It's going to take a while to get 15,000 milk cartons. And no sucking on the helium tank.
ReplyDeleteI once wanted to build the Cathedral of Notre Dame, to scale, in my back yard with Lego bricks—until I realized it would have cost about 20 million for the bricks.
Dream away, Map, and may they all be good ones.
That actually sounds like it would be pretty awesome!
ReplyDeletePat; Good omens? Yes please! :¬)

Charlie; And I don't even drink milk! I like Helium though! Thanks pal. :¬)
AJ; Start big eh? :¬)

Now go forth and ... make it :-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your creation on the teatime news bulletins soon!
Ro; If only. I have too many musical projects I want to work on before I can even consider art! Not saying never though! :¬)
ReplyDeleteCut Throat Grannies sounds like a good name for a band though...
ReplyDeleteKim; A folk goup maybe? :¬)
ReplyDeleteYes, Map of Song needs to finish his YouTube project before he becomes The Artist Known as Map. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou suppose the weather has anything to do with creative dreams? Because I don't drink but I had the oddest dream last night: I was Manager of an international football team...and I mean YOUR kind of football [soccer] not my American version. My team had Americans, Scots, Irish and Russians on it. I don't even watch soccer. How are you people getting into my head?
Note to self: Don't read Jimmy's current blog post prior to bedtime. ;)
hope; See? I wasn't tellin' fibs!
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting my odd dreams are somehow connected to my drinking? If that were true ALL my dreams would be of the odd variety!
As for the football team, who would us Internationals be playing against?
Have you been eating cheese before bedtime?
I read most my blogs before bedtime, including Jimmy's, maybe that's where the dreams stem from?! :¬)

No cheese. But I have discovered that eating anything chocolate within 2 hours of sleep gives me weird dreams bordering on nightmarish.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, nothing implied from your imbibing. :) But my dream felt as if I'd drunk an entire bottle of something odd...of the "Alice in Wonderland" variety.
I don't know who that team would play, but we'd win. My brain is wired weird sometimes: some of those "players" were actors...really BIG and tall actors.
Maybe that's why dreaming for me is like going to the movies: a different story every night. :)
Here's wishing you sweet dreams.
If you need a hand drinking all that milk, just let me know. Always glad of a drop of the white stuff.
ReplyDeletehope; I can do cheese. In fact, it's one of my favourite foods. Love milk, can't drink it though, gives me major trots! And I could live on 85% cocoa solids dark chocolate, but I need to keep slim, for my fans!
ReplyDeleteWe can't get that 'Alice In Wonderland' stuff here no more. Feckin' laws!
BIG & Tall actors eh? Woosies! Real sportsmen like our Munster Rugby Team! (Or Jimmy's beloved Celtic!)
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This? :¬)

Madame DF; Milk makes me go! Lactose probs with the cows me! You can have all mine missus! (Cheese & Yoghurt I can do no probs amazingly!) :¬)
xxx
Yeah, like Hope said, never mind the artsy fartsy stuff. You've got tunes to record and post on youtube before you get to construct anything!!!
ReplyDeleteNeither drink nor food give me weird dreams... I'm not sure I can connect anything with dreams... as I rarely remember them at all.
