Wendy #2 - To My Left

I join again à la Tom: 2015 we were back in Perth and Grace took us to Wendy´s atelier. Ohhh, my! 
Three cute Emu-Babies. Who could resist?
Wendy has reasonable prices, too.
 
So this was no financial problem, either - I bought these all over the years, cause... I always go back...
 

 
 
A lille, itchy devil! (Maybe called Lucy?)
 

 
Thank  you, Sharky, maybe some other time (no).


These are for Eileen´s ...


The series... 
 
"The tastiest dishes with the funniest names
 

 Spam
 
When you hear the word "spam" you probably think of email, but another type of spam has also been around since the 1930s. This US canned meat product is made from ground pork and ham. The name is supposedly a made-up word for seasoned ham (i.e. “spiced ham”)."

Dunno about you - I know this since ages and love it!

 Henry 🦁
 

 Let´s see what you got today!

I don't like spam. In both senses!!

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, in the second I´m out, also!

Those emu babies are adorable! Wow, I had no idea about the ham spam!

Hello Iris,
I just love those cute emu babies.
The "got an itch" is a cute image too.
I am not a fan of SPAM.
The kitty has a beautiful mane.
Thank you for your critter post and for sharing your link! Take care, have a wonderful weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Iris Flavia said...

They are really that cute :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Wendy is a great artist, always a dangerous place ;-)
I haven´t had Spam for a long time, but I think I really liked it... Well, this weekend is work...

Jeanie said...

I love Wendy's work--it's so happy!

Tom said...

...the Emu is an exotic looking bird for me. I didn't know how Spam got its name, but it sure is popular in Hawaii. So that kitty wanted to be a Henry?

Iris Flavia said...

So, yes! Next is our fridge, I think, let´s see! Or maybe... Wendy´s work is pretty dominant here!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, the babies are really cute! The adults are pretty "boring" and apart from their size hard to spot. Also they are fast when without kids. Once I nearly "got" one...
I never thought of Hawaii for Spam - isn´t it way too hot there?
Yes, kitty wanted to be "big" today!

Your forgot to mention the intermediate step for creation of the SPAM meme: the Monty Python song “Spam, spam, spam, spam”

Mae Travels said...

… and the Python spam skit — that’s the origin of the internet spam term.

CJ Kennedy said...

When Himself was in 5th or 6th grade (grammar school at the time), the cafeteria served spam for lunch. One kid hurled and the rest of the kids in the cafeteria followed. After that, spam was removed from the lunch menu. 🤣

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, right, LOL!!!! Haven´t watched in a looong time!

Iris Flavia said...

Now I whistle...

Iris Flavia said...

Oh!!! Poor kiddo, that!

RedPat said...

I love her paintings especially that last one with the baby emu, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, all her paintings make me happy! She also has mugs and much more! (I do not get payed to say this!)

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

The little emus are the cutest! I'll have to google search to see more from this artist...looks like fun!

Bill said...

I love those little emus, they are so adorable. Spam, had it a few times in the 70s, it's very salty and I didn't care for it.

Iris Flavia said...

The name "Wendy" is a link to her site - no googling required :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I saw one real close in 1999. Adorable these runners are! Hm. I think Ingo bought Spam. Time to re-taste it!

Barbara Rogers said...

Emus are cute.No thanks on Spam the kind you eat!

Timelesslady said...

I had Spam as a child, it's been decades, many decades. I remember it being very salty.

Christine said...

Lovely images

magiceye said...

Wonderful art!

River said...

I remember buying spam when money was tight, we would slice it and fry it to have with a fried egg or maybe with mashed potato. But I hate the email kind of spam.
I love the emu chicks, they're so cute and fuzzy.

Iris Flavia said...

I really must re-taste the Spam!

Iris Flavia said...

Maybe the German Spam is not that salty?

Iris Flavia said...

They really have the quality of paintings, maybe you can´t see that through the photos.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, so happy.

Iris Flavia said...

You fried spam?! Ui. We eat that cold. The other spam, ugh.
Yes, those babies are real cute, I had one directly in front of the car. A little fluff-ball!

Breathtaking said...

Thank you Iris and Wendy for the smiles.

Iris Flavia said...

You are very welcome!
