If you read “Living with Art” with any regularity, you know that I believe in creating art on pretty much any and every available space in the house.  If the object I’m painting is also functional, well, for some reason that makes me extra happy with double pepperoni.  In the name of joy – which the world needs a whole lot of, by the way – I decided to tackle the set of bowling-themed shakers I picked up two or three years ago at a flea market that no longer exists.

Stress Gessoing

A moment of silence, please, for all the great flea markets that no longer exist.

From the moment I found these, I knew that they needed to become characters from The Big Lebowski, and so they have.

What do you mean, “brought the salt and pepper shakers bowling”?  I’m not renting them shoes.  I’m not buying them an effing beer.  They’re not taking your effing turn, Dude.

I don’t need your effing sympathy, man. I need my effing salt.

This is a league game, is it not? Is it not?

That pepper shaker really tied the room together.

Mark it zero.

These are available in my shop, and I do have plans to make more.
