True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist. – Albert Einstein
In other words, we’re just plain nuts, driven by this irresistible force to create. First, the creation of the great monster, Frankenstein. The story of Count Dracula, the infamous vampire. A creative (evil?) genius (a.k.a. Brenda) transforms the two, puts on a technological twist, and wala, we have Robot Vampenstein! 😀
Today’s mystery “what is it?!?” picture was another inspiration after I had finished photographing a different subject. Do you know? Can you tell?
What Is It?!?
What Was That?!? Yesterday’s Picture (Day 173)
Was is the other half of a snap on a jacket? Not that. The connection on a PP3 (9-volt) battery? Ding ding ding! Great guess, Jude! Indeed! I had never noticed the pattern on the top of these batteries.

The green stuff looks like some kind of fabric.

It does, doesn’t it? But it’s not fabric. 😉

It looks like wood to me. Perhaps a close up of a child’s building block (because of the green colour) – but maybe some shelving.

Interesting perspective, David. But it’s not wood.

It’s the wing of the Robot Vampenstein! And I didn’t even know it could fly!

Ha ha ha! What a great guess! I wish I could make it so. Could you even imagine the talk show circuits?!?

Imagine how awesome it would be at errands. Just zoom this sweatshirt over to X’s house, he left it here by accident. Okay, it’s not a wing. It’s not metal, skin, cloth, plaster or wall. I feel like it’s 20 questions because I really have NO idea. I liked the grass skirt idea, and that had occurred to me, too. Is it a sunhat made from straw?

Gosh, I hate to tell you it’s not a sunhat nor straw. But you are whittling down the material. 😉 Looks like I got a good one!
