Next in line is CHUNKIE Mod girl is created from plasticine and jewellery bits I had laying around…and some little silver balls…..some photoshopping to add her facial features….Mod Girl is 60’s inspired and bears a symbol of peace on her bodice…. the colours are reminiscent of the 60’s and here she is all ready to perform the ‘Go Go’.....in the spotlight! Sixties Fashion Vid

Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

    its this crazy old 90’s band they had like one hit

    groove is in the heart….

    The chills that you spill
    Up my back keep me filled
    With satisfaction when we’re done
    Satisfaction of what’s come
    I couldn’t ask for another (I-I-I-I)
    No, I couldn’t ask for another (that’s right)
    Your groove I do deeply dig
    No walls only the bridge
    My supper dish
    My succotash wish (sing it baby)
    I couldn’t ask for another (uh-huh, uh-huh)
    (I-I-I-I) No, I couldn’t ask for another

    Groove is in the hea-a-a-art (na na na na) etc
    Groove is in the hea-a-a-art
    Groove is in the hea-a-a-art (astronomical)
    Groove is in the hea-a-a-art (hit me!)

    Watch out!

    Another beauty, “she’s a mod, she’s a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!” (one of my favourite songs from this time) I grew up in this era and was a mod, particularly liked it, because they were so into peace – “Give Peace a chance baby!!)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    hiya Lorna…thank you….and well fancy that…i wasn’t all that sure if they followed the peace movement or were supporters thereof…but you proved it…yeah!! thanks so much for the voice of experience here, that’s really cool that you were a mod…how cool were/are you then….did you have one of those hair cuts…did you dance the ‘go-go’, it was hard to find good video footage of the girls doing the go-go….that song I listened to it this morning, the band and the lead singer were pretty darn groovy….

  • Lorna Gerard

    Lorna Gerard

    Hi Karin, Well I am not exactly sure if the mods were in the peace movement now I think about it, but I do know the peace sign was around that time, and I think it was more associated with hippies, but it really doesn’t matter, it’s the peace sign that is important and I use to wear bellbottom pants with matching cropped jacket and my hair was in a bob, I think I was imitating Cilla Black, i don’t suppose you have heard of her. Yes I did try to go-go but I think i more ‘went went’ lol, plus the monkey and the swim, my kids laugh themselves silly when i dance silly like that and have fun. xxoo

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    ooo we grew up with a wide range of music….we had to watch the lovely cilla black, with her red hair and beautiful voice…I loved her….rolf harris was big in our household too, dave allen, faulty towers…..they loved val doonican in his rocking chair, dolly parton, buddy holly, johnny o’keefe, and later on dad came a big countdown fan and we had to watch that every Saturday night….he also loved shirl from Skyhooks……from country through to rock and roll and classical…the most embarrassing thing they ever did tome, was come to all my school dances and actually dance!!! they just loved to dance..they were great too…like jive stuff…..i did ballet, but never really got into the ‘groove’…too self conscious :)...prefer to strum a little on my guitar and sing to myself lol or to swan around the loungeroom to the Blue Danube all fairy like….that was my specialty….giggles :) my dad is like you….he just breaks into silly dance moves and does funny things….it’s so funny to watch your own parents dance for some reason :)
