52 & a pigeon

Here's a rubber pigeon my mum gave me a while ago. It really smells quite bad so I should keep it outside but I'm worried about it getting blown away with the wind like my other little bird.

I took it out briefly the other day though while I snapped this picture for the Fifty-Two exhibition being organised by Camilla and Claire of Calm Air All Ice.

No picture is complete without a rubber pigeon.

find of the week

A money pigeon!

Found in the Brighton Museum shop (and half price too).

poetry

Rosie found this pigeon poem in the newspaper the other day.
I really don't understand poetry but I think it's worth a mention.

Confusing? I guess it's hard to find a word to rhyme with pigeon so it's a tricky place to start.

christmas card

It wouldn't be Christmas without a pigeon dressed up as robin:

museum

Found out today that there is a whole museum dedicated to pigeons in Oklahoma: World of Wings
The website could do with a bit of a makeover, but I'm still keen to go. There are some pretty smart pigeons in the world:

i should probably move here.

A road sign my mum and dad spotted in Jersey.

name this bird

treasures

Today I'm locked out of my house. So I'm spending the afternoon sitting in a tea shop looking up pigeon-related treats on etsy.

Here are my top picks for today:


1. Green pigeon brooch
2. Pin cushion bracelets
3. Badge set
4. Pigeons of Trafalgar Square wallet
5. A delightful necklace

pigeon post

Today Simon sent me this photograph he took of a pigeon he met in the north (my photo doesn't do it justice I'm afraid). What a cute little bedraggled bird he is though.

I am most pleased.

pigeon picture of the day

I just stumbled across this wonderful pigeon illustration by Zoe Austin and thought I really must share.


How splendid.
If anyone knows of any more pigeon art out there then please do share!

work work work

Apologies for the lack of pigeon updates of late. I've been busy finishing off my final MA project for our exhibition in September.
Please do come and visit the show if you are in the area:


I'm making an interactive museum:



And yes, I have managed to fit a pigeon in their somewhere. I couldn't resist.

pigeon light

I finally got around to putting my pigeon light on the wall this weekend (in time for our hat party). It looked a treat! And there was even the appearance of a pigeon based hat - good times!


I'd like to get the light in a couple more colours, but I picked grey for this one as it was most pigeon-like.
I think I made the right choice.

street folk

A fox and some pigeons.
I think you should all get involved with this delightful project.

i missed it

National pigeon day took place yesterday in New York.
Here's a wee news article about it.
And a picture of someone in an AMAZING pigeon costume:

a treat of a shirt

I've never seen a t-shirt that I like more than this one.
It was in GAP a few years ago and it was my personal mission at the time to get as many people as I could to own it. I figured then I'd get to see it all the time.


I'm not sure why I didn't just buy myself one...I regret that a lot.
But I know of 4 people who have one so if I get desperate I can always track one down. Stealing clothes off the washing line isn't too big a crime surely...
