And a Santa on a tree.
Ok, I've made no post in this song that wasn't a puzzle-but now I do. The Pink Tangle at the top was a purchase years ago. The rest are either gifts from Richard at various times of going to his studio or the annual Tangle . Tangles are the creation of my friend Richard X. Zawitz. I've known Richard for about 19 years now I would have to guess. On a very causal basis. (No, no sex stories here I'm afraid) I met him for the first time at the HKTGF when I first attended. I've helped on occasion at one of his toy booths, and always make a point of going to see Mr. Tangle when there is a fair.
He's a nutter if I ever saw one. As it turns out though, his Hong Kong art studio is just down the block from Uwe's Hong Kong office. I love taking guests to HK over there to see his work. And of course, I love going to the fair to get the annual Tangle. I have loads of them now. So many that I've begun to give them away to friends whose children have learning disabilities. I believe in these things for focusing attention. You can read all about Tangles and their creator here.
I can't wait to see what he has in store for this years tangle!
