Imagine waking up to the glorious morning sunshine once the weather warms, and you stroll out to your backyard with a steaming cup of coffee, breathe in the sweet scent of spring, listen to the happy chirping of the birds building their nests, and then you glance down....and see the coolest pair of glasses sitting on your lawn as though some giant came along and took off his eyewear to rub his eyes. Life is really cool, you think to yourself.
And it is. Because, when people take a concept and run with it, and make objets d'art with such irrevrence and for the fun of it, life really is cool! And who would have thought of a giant pair of glasses as backyard sculpture? Someone who has a wonderful sense of whimsy, that's who. Oh, and someone who also loves glasses!!
These creations are by an artist living in Alaska, Frances Scholz. Head on over to the web site and take a look! Then watch for a giant pair of glasses in my backyard one of these days.
But, then again, why stop at just one pair?
