2.

Describing your thoughts in muppet style is a good one, Florence.

I had never thought of my moods as muppety, I just used Muppets to allieviate them.

exactly!! great selection...on a similar vein, I've often felt that each of us has a muppet character (or perhaps 2) who mirrors our basic character. for some unknown reason I'm drawn most often to grover....and sometimes to kermit (or course kermit and I share a birthyear!) if you were to choose a 'guiding muppet' who would that be??

Thanks go to Jude for mentioning this post on her blog :) and a big hello and welcome to those of you visiting via Spirit Cloth.

I'm glad you've all found some delight in the Muppet clips I've choosen, it was very therapeutic for me to watch them too.

To answer Kimy's question: Those of you who've been long time readers will know about me and Grover. see http://windbagandthunder.blogspot.com/2006/07/super-grover.html
I know I can't live without him...or perhaps it is that I have chosen not to...:)

explains the connection! grover is the greatest can't live without him either! unfortunately when I copied the link and plugged in the info on your super grover post, I got a message that said page not found...drat! anyone else have the problem?

Florence Forrest said...

Kimy, Grover is super..as in Super Grover!!

To find the link try going to the top of my sidebar into the section that says "What's in Windbag and Thunder?" then choose "Toys and Dolls", then "More about Toys" and you'll see a hotlink to the Super Grover post :)

I hope that helps.

yeah....it worked! totally enjoyed the super grover piece which as of now was written exactly one year ago from when I read it....do I hear some type of twilight zone music! I am a bit older than you and the muppets didn't enter my life until I was all 'grown up' (well grown up in terms of chronology, I have been accused of having a peter pan complex!) anyhow grover is great. enjoyed the pieces. xxxmoi

1.Kermit seems Hamlet like...burn a candle to deter the winter blues i say.

2.The middle one....i think the limit would be close to when the cylindrical character starts bobbing along the vertical axis coupled with the horizontal more..

3.This recalls mono-sodium-glutamate (621) for me.And a neurological scientist, speculating on neurology art, and aestheitcs:

aaaaww I love the muppets! I just bought my little niece the 1st series on dvd. I couldn't bear the thought of her growing up without the muppets and songs like manamana! great clips!

visiting you from Michele's...

Loved seeing these. The Muppet Show Season 2 just hit DVD, and I'm surprised at how well they hold up.

Also wanted to say I love some of your creations. Very colorful and textural.

The mupets do hold up very well, I agree, stillas funny as they were then.
