So a round-up of recent bookmarks and other stuff which may be of interest to others....
Setting off with My Modern Met who I've rediscovered through Facebook;

Further afield this made me laugh;

In Morgantown - West Virginia, Toy Soldiers are being used to teach....art and history by the looks of things!;

About Me
- Hugh Walter
- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

I've been looking for Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida play with food as I've seen the work, but couldn't remember the names.
That Knitler just slayed me.
Hi Anne
Glad to have helped you find them again...there is another chap who places figures around cities and waits to see if people notice them or tread on them etc...not sure if I have the link or have already posted it...I have loads of these type of links I will try to get more put up!
Knitler is brilliant, but I feel the Knotsies should have a z not an s?
Hugh
