"Up To Your Ass In Alligators"

 

"Up To Your Ass In Alligators"● 

   I love working with scrabble tiles! These pieces are so fun to make, and people love them. Often, when I am gallery sitting, I will see people stop to look at these pieces, and as they slowly read through to the end of the message, they will inevitably crack up with laughter. Sometimes, they will look around, hoping no one is watching them.

   For this piece, I, again, took a very narrow cabinet door, and covered it in tissue papers. Scrabble tiles spell out my favorite saying: 

"WHEN YOU ARE UP TO YOUR ASS IN ALLIGATORS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO

REMEMBER THAT YOUR INITIAL OBJECTIVE WAS TO DRAIN THE SWAMP"

   A small toy alligator, attached on the side, will move it's tail when you touch it's nose. Ready to hang.  (click on image to enlarge)
