Grüsse aus der Schweiz!
(Click and play while you read!)
Sitting as I do in the heart of Switzy, this visit was always going to be one I'd enjoy!
But what to do? chocolate, cheese, snow or something a little more obscure?
or perhaps something in between?
Talerschwingen is a fav of mine and is the art of
spinning or rolling a coin in a crockery bowl
to make the sound sound that accompanies the voices in the clip above

The tone can be so pure
it's enough to send shivers down your spine!
But this week Jayne's decided to indulge in the sweeter side of Switzerland, here is her
"eat chocolate till the cows come home"

Bought ourselves some Swiss chocolate body paint,
we haven't left the chalet for days!
see attached mini pic of Bagsy, minus the body paint of course!
Jxx
Eww! thinks Gloria,
there's such a thing as too much information!!
and where's the pic??
it seems to have fallen off in the post
agh! she's still no closer to seeing lovebug Bagsy!
I made my card out of an assortment of chocolate boxes,

the contents of which I ate in the name of art, no, really I did...
I set my scene on a map and added a few cows
meandering their way down through the Valley of the Forbidden Chocolate
homeward bound.

Great fun card. Love the cows and the fact that you had to eat all that chocolate to complete it!

I did, indeed, enjoy the music and was that really a coiin making that sound? The card is great and what fun to make it! The chocolate a side benefit, of course. Next time if you need help in that dept, I volunteer.
Love the card and love the music!!! You are so clever! And I bet some lonely postal worker stole the pic of the hot guy off that card..... you know how they can be, right? Not that you and I know any postal workers!!!!!! ha!
hahaha well done on getting thru that terrible ordeal of having to eat chocolate lol
i love those cows especially the one right on top of the mountain lol
I was laughing and staring at the creative artwork at the same time. This is an amazing post. Great card. Just wonderful. Funny post. Love it. *smiles* Norma

all I can say is Yummy! love this Swiss card...I'm definitely a lover of the bovine...I would indulge till the cows come home too! aloha.
Wonderful card! Valerie
I’m really lucky and so glad that after surfing the web for a long time I have found out this information. .

I'm laughing at the postcard, laughing at the great collage you created, laughing at sacrificing your body with chocolate in the name of art, and laughing when the hot guy's photo "fell" off the postcard. This is simply too funny!
Another awesome card. Your story is so fun! Such sacrifices we make for our art....eating chocolates. I used lots of little goodies you sent in my card and page this week. Thank you!!
Hahaha....:D The things we have to do to get our piece just perfect lol. How frustrating to have the pic missing :D XXX
Hmmmmm I'm not too sure about that coin rolling racket! Your postcard is much sweeter!
Chocie body paint you say!
Oh Meine Gutness ... we totally missed that on our visit ;)
With so much to chose from you did splendidly M!
I too could eat chocolate til the cows come home...I admire the sacrifices you made in the name of your art!
well done you!
oxo
Great card, choccie body paint eh?, Bought some for a friend once, I'll say no more. Caz
Oh, crap! We still don't know how the gorgeous guy looks. :) Love the postcard! Who ever can resist a chocolate is not from this planet. :)
Fabulous postcard and mouthwatering looking chocolate. The music while I read was fun.
Jen x
the temptation is to reach into the mac grab that chocolate and eat it - no wait - it's a postcard...
hold me back
Dx
The things we do for our art! Nice work. I love the missing picture. Intrigue!
Your postcards and accompanying posts are always such fun - and this one is no exception :o)
Great fun, well done for doing the decent thing and consuming all those chocolates. The things we do in the name of art, eh?
Naughty body paint......!!

Wonderful card Margaret ! But way too much information ( perhaps the hot guy simply disappeared after being coated in chocolate ! )
Beautiful sound. I went to a Sound bath once - Crystal bowls singing !
You should redesign some Swiss chocolate co.'s wrappers (I thought this was from one wrapper!) Totally fab! Now I am craving chocolate thanks to your delicious art! (and I am currently stuck in a grain elevator...)
An amazing card. Love the cows and the chocolate path is fab. I'm in for eating chocolate till the cows come home. Your story is fun and would love to see this chocolate body paint.
❤ loved the music and the card..btw..the chocolates looked wonderful..made me a bit homesick..although Canada has been my home for so many years...xo
Ha! I understand. I recently had to eat an entire box of valentine candy because I needed the box. Sometimes an artist just has to sacrifice herself like that.
