When librarians get bored.

.

I saw this online the other day and it was too fun not to share.

.

.

Librarians in France having fun during the pandemic.

.

.

I’m always amused at this type of thing.

.

.

But no matter how many times I try to recreate something similar it never works.

.

.

Some of these are clever.

.

.

Some, disturbing.

.

.

But they all made me smile.

.

.

And marvel at how close they were able to match the book covers.

.

.

Dali would be proud.

.

.

I’m in love!

.

With my husband, yes… of course.

But also with these:

.

.

Gorgeous little masterpieces made with leaves,twigs, blooms and berries.

.

.

Called land art…

.

.

Because as soon as the wind blows?

.

.

They’re gone.

Each of Bullen-Ryner’s pieces comprises locally sourced and foraged materials. Nothing is glued or tethered, which means her work might only last a few minutes before parts begin to fly away with the breeze. So, why does she choose to work this way? “People often ask me why don’t I make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Buller-Ryner shares. “But for me, it is the ephemeral nature of what I do that has become like therapy for my soul. I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature. I take some photos and then walk or cycle away, leaving it all behind and feeling calmer, more connected, and truly lighter.

.

Such beautiful little treasures.

.

.

Yes.

.

.

I’m definitely in love.

.

.

Admit it….

.

.

You are too!

.

As long as they keep making them…..

 

Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring seems to be a favorite in the re-created art catalog.

For which I’m glad.

Though this next one does differ quite substantially from the original….

You have to applaud the commitment.

There.

Proof positive your mother was wrong when she said you’d never find a place to wear head to toe green.

Man with vacuum cleaner.

You know women will swoon over this.

Oh. My….

The less said about this the better!

The last batch.

 

But really, how can you not love these art re-creations?

 

 

Look at that woman!

Having her husband’s head on a platter has simply made her day worth living.

 

 

The nose is a little less spectacular, but okay.

 

 

Wow.

Im not sure which is more disturbing, the original or the remake.

 

 

Is it me…

Or does that guy look like George Harrison’s Indian guru from the 60’s?

 

 

Art imitating life, or life imitating art?

Either way…. that man is slaying it.

And now, the final picture.

Which couldn’t be any more relevant if it tried.

 

Re-created art…. the finale.

 

Here are the last 3 examples I’ll gleefully share with childlike enthusiasm bore you with.

The original…

The re-creation…

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this fellow might have enjoyed the exercise a little too much.

The original….

 

 

The re-creation…

 

 

Proof positive modern life is lame.

And because this one literally made me snort, I saved it for last.

The original…

 

 

The re-creation…

 

 

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did.

Because we all need a little more laughter these days.
