Isn't She Wonderfull?

Green Headdress - Helena de Groot

Stamp with sound

In Bhutan they gave in 1973 postage stamps with sound, in the form of grammophone records. These philatelic products are playable on a special small grammophone player. I show you the smallest green one. What's on this little sound carrier you want to know? Well ... I take it to different pieces of folk music, the history of Bhutan and the official national anthem. Everything in English and Bhutan.

Different Shades

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf,

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day

Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

Green Rocking Chicken

From Jamie Hayon’s site:

“Green chicken: The chicken, a rather unexplored shape, found its place amongst my green dreams. I wanted to portray this common bird as a sensational object by amplifying its characteristics and dimensions, turning it into a modern piece, one of great beauty and utility: a rocking chair. The movement, subtle and constant, would give the object a zoom-like trait, a sense of speed and dynamism. My green chicken had taken on a face, a shape, a place and a function.”
