Description
I went with family to the Party Shop to look for something specific, which we did not find. The retail outlet from hell, chav heaven. There was NOTHING that any of us wanted to purchase, but if your requirements include penis balloons, plastic breasts, singing Santa Clauses, and various ghastly lurid tacky outfits, then this place is for you.
BUT I did get to photograph these red balloons, Here so all was not lost!
And of course I enjoyed a digifiddle and so neutralised the appalling experience.

yesssssss! you gave commercialism a slap in the face, and answered it with a pure Andrea explosion! Your flickr piece is a knockout---it's like a big swirling fractal balloon, floating past in the skies. (Mom! Dad! What's that thing in the sky? Is that Santa Claus???) And this thing---whoosh: Zoom's a must: You digifiddled all that dazzle into a big ceramic and glass meltdown, like someone went into a Chihuly exhibit and brought solar temperatures into it, and it all melted! A big dazzling collection of melted glass and ceramic glazes, with great gradations of reds and grays and greens and yellows...and your colonies and microorganisms running wild. With splotches of super bright whites to keep us riveted---as if your postwork didn't already do that. Take that, Christmas glitz! If the early Europeans---who after all brought the whole idea of bright reds and greens into this winter holiday---if they saw this? They'd say, "now there's an answer to the cold!" (That is, after they ran for their lives, convinced that some beast from Beowulf got loose in their village.) This is terrific! Andrea postwork gone wild---I'll take 6 dozen!

What a wonderful color burst. You never fail to amuse me, Andrea :-)

I know exactly what you mean...I avoid those places like the plague! You got a great abstract full of innocent colour from it, though!

I just realized something. While you present a retired art teacher to the world you are, in fact, a superhero. When faced with horrid, tacky commercial excess you use your powers to just liquefy it and, poof, art happens. I love the flickr image. Mark wrote the name I was looking for, fractal. Outstanding stuff.

I much prefer the balloons, garland and christmas trees to the ...ummm... other items! Hope no little kiddies wandered in there by mistake!
