Voodoo Science:

Scrap Artist Altered/Collage Challenge. The theme for this week is: Oxymorons.


My husband just finished a book by the same title, so this is what I came up with for the challenge. The words are: Reason, Theory, inquiry, laws, logic and hypothesis. I put Einstein next to his birth country of Germany. The clock reads 5 o'clock, because as the lyrics say and I believe Einstein may agree...it is 5 o'clock...somewhere!

Background paper: War Kit by Happy Robyn
Clock brush and clock face: Happy Robyn
Frame: Rhonna Farrer
Font: Janelleshand/Chalkdust/Futura MD
Paper Heart: Zazou's Avec amour
Alphas: Sande Krieger's French Laundry Alpha, and Sara Carling's Dinner Party
Doll face, swirly hat and muslin body: Maya
Hand brush: Maya's Weird and Wonderful
Pins and stitches: Mo Jackson's Stitches One

Michael and I took Aaron, Rachel and Noah to see the movie, "How To Eat Fried Worms". If you have read the book...don't worry this movie doesn't have much that resembles it's namesake...well,...except...a kid eats some fried worms. The plot line and characters might as well have been named something else all together. I kinda of wonder why anyone bothered to get the rights to the book? The kids laughed, but spent more time telling us how the book was different from the movie.
