Wittgenstein chicken B-day card


I received an invite to celebrate the full moon and a new friend's birthday around a firepit in the secret lower yard. It was pretty cool. We heard some loud, strange animal noises. Sounded like amplified distress to me. Brave, woodsy westernmassers went to explore. They suggested raccoons or foxes in one of those metal tube things that water typically runs through. How clever of these animals to amplify their cries in an echo tunnel. So. I drew and painted and colored this chicken on cardboard. Then I wrote down many original quotes to amuse this friend. J kindly warned me that I could do better. I gave up and was going to use an old stand-by Wittgenstein fav, but thought it sent the wrong message. I searched W quotes to find one that suited a chicken. Then I cut bits of scratchy shaped pieces of paper to form letters, ya know, like the chicken did it. Modge podge on hand, so better layout. Some checkered fabric tape on ends then laminate. Yup, that was her present.
