…coming in a minute.
I have some more pictures from the Libris Awards.
“Obsolete” by Gail Stiffe
Handmade papers, looking like crumpled and discarded wrappers with digital prints; a statement about profligacy. Approximately A4 , landscape orientation.
“Punctuation and Full Stops” Lesley Kane. These books are all approximately 4 or 5cms high.
Well, yesterday I asked for someone with gloves to turn some pages for me. The request had to be referred to a higher authority, but, after waiting (Papal consultation ,perhaps?), a staffer appeared with gloves. And most of my photos were of quivering white-clad fingers and shadows!
Now, about those horses. And jockeys. Here’s what you need to do…
Place your horses back- to- back, one head facing left, the other, right. Now position the jockeys image.

And what is this all about? Apparently, an exercise (for management types) in problem-solving.
Time to don my chef’s hat…

I love Punctuation and Full Stops, though I wouldn’t like to have to dust it.
I’m echoing Elephant’s Child here: is there anything you can’t do?
LikeLike
Yes! I’m lousy at dusting and last night’s chicken was not a runaway success.:-)

Oh and I had the horses standing up, facing opposite the the jockeys with a fold so they each sat facing the right way on a horse.
Only in the head though. I think your way works better : )

The instructions were to do this without cutting or folding. (But someone did try to fold his jockeys!)
Once I thought about the horse’s gait I could see how the legs should look and then it was easy. But by the next morning, I’d forgotten, and had to be shown. Again.Worrying, isn’t it? 😦

Hello Dinah, I keep thinking you’ll be on your way on one of our world tours! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love that jokey and horse trick. I had that when I was a kid. Those kinds of puzzles are great for the old brain. Thank you also for displaying and linking the lovely books. Scrumptious!

Yes, puzzles keep the brain on its toes. But my brain’s toes like to sit down!
I’ll be flying Stateside in 10 days! NY for a couple of weeks, then UK/France. But next time, I plan to get further north than Toulouse…

i’ve always been pretty good at spatial relationships – but didn’t get too far with the horse/jockey challenge! but then again, i tried it sober… perhaps some beer and i’d have had more luck!

Hmmm, so this is what you’ve been up to while I was struggling with a bad Internet connection, and often, power cuts for hours 🙂
This is all so very exciting! Art excites me! Books excite me. I get all revved up and work on my manuscript. I hope, hope, HOPE, I get good Internet this weekend, then I can dig into the links on these posts.
