Art of the Roll

It isn't easy, but there are some things to laugh about even during the COVID-19 pandemic

My sister and her daughter are going a little stir crazy in Chicago, sheltering in place with my niece's 3 kids under the age of 5. Inspired by Wayne Thiebaud, this is what they did before 8:48 this morning. Usually, I'm jealous of my sister's cake plate collection (this is but a fraction). Now I'm just impressed they have this many extra rolls of toilet paper!  Enjoy

That’s amazing.  At first I thought they baked all those cakes before 9 am - the simulations look that real!  That’s such a fun project.

That’s amazing. Someone sent me a photo of their daughter dressed/made up as Frida Kahlo (with two chicks on her shoulder)- a HHS art assignment to recreate a painting. (Not sure I am permitted to share.). Maybe this would be a good RiverArts online contest. Jacquie, May I share this photo?

This is priceless! By the way, as a hostess gift for a cousin dropping off Easter dinner at her home, my  friend gave the cousin a 12 count pack of Scott toilet paper, the last  one on the shelf at  Stop @ Shop!

Jacquie - That is incredible. I have never heard of anyone collecting cake plates before, so that alone is intriguing. And then the cleverness -- Is everyone in the Weitzman family as talented as the two sisters? xx

A marvelous array, so elegant, so inventive. What fun to think up something like this

Those are amazing!   this morning I saw a picture of a more graphic cake somebody made.  Apologies in advance for sending picture, but it made me laugh!

Omg!  hysterical.  The zeitgeist is right there in that cake!

Does this mean there is a whole genre of toilet paper art being created now? Will we be seeing the show at MOMA next year? Is this why there's a shortage for those of us who use it in more prosaic ways?

I’ve actually been curious about the art and literature that will be coming out of this pandemic. Perhaps that will be a theme for a Literature Club if the future
