  To Eat Crow
to eat crowI haven't heard of the saying "to eat crow", but Jafabrit has used it to get back at her daughter over a minor squabble. It basically means that you have to admit that you were wrong about something.
After telling her daughter that her drawing was "decorative", her daughter replied that one of her sculptures looked like a "Martha Stewart Project". Here's Jafabrit's reply..

"Insulted I demanded she apologize. She would not. HA, I would get my artistic revenge, so I made a soft sculpture of her tongue. I stole one of her tongue rings and stuck it through the canvas tongue, and attached a handstitched canvas crow to it. It proudly hangs in our living room and continues to amuse us."
Read more about it here..

It's one of the great things about being an artist; you can vent your anger or get your point across without resorting to monkey behavior. World leaders probably should be artists. When one leader gets mad at the other, he/she can send them a painting, poem or song expressing his rage, rather than sending him a bunch of bombs.

I also discovered what a Jafa Girl is too..
"Create whatever we want, whenever we want, however we want WHENEVER WE ARE IN THE MOOD."

Yes, it would be nice if leaders could be a bit more creative instead of the usual rhetoric and bombs :0

What a cool surprise to see my work on one of my FAVE blog sites. thanks for the shout out.
 
You're very welcome Jafabrit.

I worked out that I've heard the English version of the saying "to eat crow" is probably "to eat humble pie".

Anyway, it was an interesting story ;-)
 
Oh yes, to eat humble pie, yes I have heard that. Hum, can you imagine a humble pie hanging from her tongue LOL!
