Rusting, rusting into dust,
How can a bottle be so clean
When the cap seems so mean?

- Jayne A. Harnett-Hargrove is a working artist, cross trained in the traditional arts whose output encompasses word-wrangling, illustration, bricolage, a quarterly zine entitled Meraki Issue, costume design for opera, immersive, and other theatrics. Jayne moves deftly through these traditional arts, creating narrative shards exploring memory, history, and myth. Her overriding drive to create is to experience the human condition with mindful compassion, frustration, and fear that we collectively experience. She has written, painted & designed on four continents, while lending her hands for mentoring, exhibiting art along the way, while emulating her heroes, Bouboulina, Hundertwasser, and Joan DeArc. She has lived in the shadows of the Rockies, in Joshua Tree desert, in iconic Florence, and on the Libyan shore of Crete — and continues this tradition for work and other pleasures as an important part of her inspiration and musing. She currently lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville NC, but her heart always seems to be miles away. Learn more: harnetthargrove.com

ReplyDeleteFunny little ditty, happy TT
old bottle caps are great treasures though to find and ponder...
ReplyDeleteA little Wayne Thiebaud in this...Although I was thinking "pie crusts" in the thumbnail.
ReplyDeleteOr tarts! At least that's the impression I got from my reader thumb, heh...used to collect these when I was a kid :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was expecting tarts, too, mouth watering on my arrival! But the bottle caps are way cool.
ReplyDeletetoday i heard that worldwide people drink less beer.
ReplyDeleteso beercaps become treasure things like these:))
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
ReplyDeletewhich are the most cheerful bottles caps of all? Harnett-Hargrove's for sure!
They could also be miniature tart forms, all dressed up and out on the town on a fine spring day! :-)
Those bottle caps also look like pie crusts.
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm thirsty AND hungry. :P
ArtSparker, Pie Crusts would be in the Thiebaud genré!
ReplyDeleteI can always rely on you unexpected frame of reference.Pure creativity. Theme Thursday greetings.
ReplyDeletesimple and succinct. well writ.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ARt, I initially thought they were pie crusts. neat photo.
I used to know someone that collected those caps!
ReplyDeletegeez! and here I thought you had baked us some tarts!
ReplyDeletenice take; I like the colors
ReplyDeleteVery clever!! This reminds me of a candy I had as a child...the bottle cap candy...wonder if they still make them?
ReplyDeleteI love rusty things. I especially like to use them in my gardens. They just go right back into the earth so naturally.

ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder.
Did a cork shortage cause the invention of the bottlecap?
:-/
Great take on this Thursday theme.;)

ReplyDeleteSomewhere I have a vague memory of putting bottle caps on the bottom of our shoes so that we could walk on ice?? I cannot fully recall it, though.
ReplyDeleteI loved this--bottle caps are like corks --so glad you found a way to put them to use-great post!
ReplyDeleteI like this. A LOT.
