The End (Parrot)


"The End"
"Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, its not the end."
 I remember when I first read this quote, I think it was in the 70's. The Beatles had made a recent trip to India to meet with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and I read an interview with John Lennon in one of those 'teen' magazines that were popular then. 
I forgot about it until a few years ago, my friend and blogger Paula Guhin from Mixed Media Manic posted an image of the quote on her blog. I remember liking it as much that day as I did when I first saw it in the 70's.

I have researched this quote several times, and what I have found is that it has been quoted many times, by many people in many different countries and cultures. Although I have not been able to ascertain who originally said these words, I like attributing it to John Lennon.

 Alphabet blocks spell out the quote in a deep picture frame that has been covered in artist papers. A wooden napkin ring parrot that has been fitted with wooden drawer pulls covered in green tissues, embellish the piece.

Guess What? I just created my Obtainium Art page on FACEBOOK.  Click here to go there, and while you are there, hit LIKE would ya?

  1. You are SO clever. You manage to find the most clever things, then alter them. Only you would come up with using a napkin ring and drawer pulls to make a complete parrot. Clever.
