Art & Inspiration The Friday Art Show!

Bingo, @down-the-road wins again with the brass cash box key!
I knew it would be hard to spot!
The blue pocket knife on the mystery junk tray was at a different vendor spot at that particular swap-meet from 15 years ago!
Thanks from Dennis for playing along!

 

Okay, on the mystery swap meet junk tray, what runs through the Forrest and is upside down?
This time no clue as to what the item rhymes with, obviously that makes the search too easy!
Go for it, the clock is ticking!

 

A Waterfall ? Happy Ether everyone!

 

Okay, here is a clue, it has 4 legs, now that should make it easier for all of you, and indeed, Happy Easter!

 

Good assortment. Thank you for participating.

 

Or, how about finding this guy?

He runs through the forest and, through anything else that get in his way! He is also upside-down in the tray. I guess that makes him right side up when he gets back home to the southern hemisphere.

Happy Easter everyone!

 

Well that took a while for the clue to finally kick in now didn't it?
Bingo for the 3rd time for @down-the-road !
Thanks from Dennis for playing along!

 

Okay, time to get serious and actually offer a true prize for the winner of this 4th round of the so called treasure identification hunt, of an object on the swap-meet mystery junk tray.

The prize will be one of my T-Shirts that have some of my artwork, and photography on it, sizes are large and extra large, sorry all out of the XXL.
They are brand new "NOS" that I have left over from my days as a vendor, at the seaplane base, annual gathering at Oshkosh Wisconsin.
Choice #1 is the Colorful Rooster, or choice #2 is the 2014 Oshkosh Seabase shirt that has the WACO cabin bi-plane on floats.
@dana barlow has some of my shirts, so does @J.Ukrop they will attest to the quality of the garment.
These are what the shirts look like.
They are on white and are 100% preshrunk cotton.

​

So do I have your your undivided attention now? Good I thought so. There are no strings attached no hidden tricks, the shirt will be shipped to the winner absolutely free of charge, so the winner will have to PM me their mailing information after the object is correctly identified.

Okay, the item in question is a child's toy. The correct answer will have to be specific as to the count of the item!
That's it, that is all of the information that you will receive!

Okay kids, go at it!
Thanks from Dennis for playing along!

Hey @down-the-road
It took me a while to finally find "TAZ", wow, that was hiding in plain sight connected to the
"Six Flags Over Georgia" item.
Amazing what is hidden on that tray of stuff.
Thanks from Dennis.

 

fun show, well played gang!

 

Thank you all for another Fantastic FAS!
Dan

 

I thought for sure, there would be a winner on the 4TH round identification of the item on the swap-meet mystery junk tray by now?
Are you all stumped by this challenge? Or is everybody crashed out on the couch, because of too much good Sunday Easter food!

​

 

Hey @41 GMC K-18 - great T-shirt designs! Good job tracking down Taz too! You are making things a bit harder this time around! Child's toy... I tried counting marbles, but they ended up being beads that were part of some jewelry. Some other items in the tray might be considered toys, but which is the best choice to post as my entry for the fourth round of the treasure hunt contest? We know that Santa brings toys to good boys and girls. If you stop believing in Santa you get boring stuff like socks and underwear. So, anything in Santa's sack (other than coal for the bad kids) must be a child's toy. My guess is one rag doll seen here in Santa's sack.



Revisiting the rhymes with tree challenge - I think I found another key.



Regards to all!

 

Hey at @down-the-road, good try, but both of those guesses are wrong!

By the way, the item isn't any of the dice or the round marbles or beads!

So to give a little help, the item is a vintage toy, and again, the correct answer has to be a specific count of the item!

Keep looking, this will be interesting!
Thanks from Dennis for continuing to play along!

 

No other guesses on the @41 GMC K-18 treasure hunt? I think some are still searching for the @rusty1 aliens after Sunday dinner and dessert. Alien #11 has a great hiding spot. Is it my imagination, or does he look a little crankier than the rest of his friends?

I'll make another guess on the vintage toy search. Is it one clown figurine?


More than 2000 views on this week's art show. Thanks to all of the HAMB artists. You make the Friday Art Show something to look forward to each week!

 

Hey @down-the-road, nope wrong guess again! Looks like I am going to have give a little bit more filtered informational clue!

Think in terms of how painful it would be if you stepped on a LEGO piece while being barefooted, only the item isn't a LEGO piece!

Okay, that's about all I can divulge with out revealing what the item is!

Keep at it!
Thanks from Dennis

 

Based on that clue - I know (I think). I found one gold colored one so far. I thought I found a second smaller one, but that looks like something similar shape that is attached to a tie clip. I'll leave it up to the west coast folks to search and count more tonight. I'll see if I can get back to the search tomorrow. Thanks!

 

Hey @down-the-road
The item is NOT colored, it has more of a chrome color and it's not anything associated with any of the tie clips or any clip, being that the item is multiple, each one looks exactly like the other ones!

Again, the correct answer will include the accurate count of the item!
Thanks from Dennis!
