SOMETHING'S BEEN DONE TO IT

NAME: Margaret

LOCATION: Falmouth, Maine

EGGPLANT QUOTE: "do something to it"

COMMENTS: Fellow Art*o*artist, Margaret Smith, and I swapped art. She sent me one of her beautiful Spirit Hand pendants and I sent her this eggplant with a quote by the artist Jasper Johns. She comments:

"I took this little Eggciting work of art and made a mini easel for it to set on. It is Eggactly what it needed."

PEWTER JUNK FOOD IN CENTRAL PARK

OWNER'S NAME: Herb

LOCATION: New York, New York

EGGPLANT QUOTE: pewter junk food

COMMENTS: Artoartist, Herb Hoover, and I decided to do an art swap. I made the customized eggplant pictured above, which describes one of his fabulous artistic endeavors: making pewter junk food. He writes of the photo:

"Here's a snap in New York's Central Park Conservatory Garden at 105 & 5th."

In return, he made me a cracker—one of his famous pewter creations! These crackers, by the way, are the best selling art in Art*o*mat machines and I'm so excited to finally have one of my own. Visit his cracker tracker to see other owners.
