You sometimes get these invitations to exhibitions. Friday a little wasabi colored (see below) elephant dung paper heart arrived from a gallery, with an invitation to create art using it. Apparently elephant dung makes awesome wasabi colored paper, and people making the paper are somehow involved in elephant charities or awareness or something. Sure, I make a cool elephant, and gladly shall participate, this guy will be glazed blue and then hold the heart with his face peeking out of a hole in the middle. Tres cute.

elephant dung=pachyderm poo
The Toronto Zoo sells bags of composted dung called Zoo Poo ... :-D
Just following the theme here ...
Probably each bag is the size of a trash can???
In Chicago at the Lincoln Park Zoo the elephants would get mad and fling the stuff at people. Ding was everywhere and there were warning signs. The habitat, uh, could have been a little bigger for them...
I am thinking--elephants eat greens, right? Is it any wonder their poo makes perfect wasabi colored paper? The ultimate in trendy colration and processing in one step!!!!
Thanks! I will never eat sushi again! Um or maybe I will. Not sure I appreciate the association of wasabi with poo though.
Marian, is Budapest known for really good sushi? (shudder....)
Color wise, I prefer: take the same spring green and instead of yellow to make wasabi color, add a dash of gray and blue for celadon. Celadon, of course, is a color but also a glaze, and I have 3 different celadon glaze colors.
I hate zoos like that, Gary. We went to a local zoo with friends up near St. Catharines a couple of years ago and I spent the whole time feeling sorry for the animals. The enclosures were terribly small and I remember talking to Bridget about how new proper zoos (with nice, large enclosures) really can't start up any more. The land costs would be prohibitive.
No dung-flinging elephants in Toronto, though. They'd be encroaching on the politicians' territory. ;-)
Hungary is a landlocked country, but even so, it has surprisingly good sushi.
