Something I found at Tulsa’s Woodward Park Saturday
Note that Rosalind Cook is also the very talented and generous artist who made the sculpture. Check her site out at http://www.rosalindcook.com/

Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests
I’ve got a new fascination, Strandbeests, kinetic sculptures made out of plastic tubes, that can travel up and down beaches. They actually look alive as they move. They are the brainchild of a Dutch man, Theo Jansen, who has been making them since 1990. He lets them loose on the beaches near Delft in the Netherlands and is making them more and more self sufficient and his dream is that one day to turn a herd loose.
I think he needs to come and let them loose in western Oklahoma or the praires in Osage county. I think it would be a wonderful sight.
I’ve already told Sweetie that I’ve always wanted to go to Delft. She’s not buying it, she suspects that geocaches are my motive. Little does she know…
Do You Love the Arts? Could You Use a New IPad?
Do you yell Yee Haw in Museums?
Or do you look the other way?
Do you HOWL when you see something you like?
Are you GAGA for the Arts?
And could you really, really use a new iPad 2?
If you answered “yes” to all the above, and you live in Oklahoma, go check out the Oklahoman’s for the Arts and enter a drawing.
