  • It's only Paper

    By Canadian paper artist Calvin Nicholls . There is nothing simple or ordinary about his paper art. Where we would simply use a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, Calvin uses everything you could possibly think of to carve, cut and rip perfect details onto his creations. The motifs are all wildlife, and that must be one of the hardest categories of things to make with paper since there are sometimes impossible details on animals. These details are amazing and I can't even fathom the time it must have taken to create these masterpieces of art.

  • Forgetter Be Forgotten

    My forgetter's getting better,
    But my rememberer is broke
    To you that may seem funny
    But, to me, that is no joke

    For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
    If I really should be 'there'
    And, when I try to think it through,
    I haven't got a prayer!
     
    Oft times I walk into a room,
    Say 'what am I here for?'
    I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
    A zero, is my score.

     

    At times I put something away
    Where it is safe, but, Gee!
    The person it is safest from
    Is, generally, me!
     
    When shopping I may see someone,
    Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
    Then, when the person walks away
    I ask myself, 'who was that?

    Yes, my forgetter's getting better
    While my rememberer is broke,
    And it's driving me plumb crazy
    And that isn't any joke.
