Art ‘n’ Cracks


I will write a post about absolutely anything, it seems!

My mobilius phoneous unceremoniously leapt from my hand earlier today. Other people may describe this as an act of ‘dropping’, but today’s incident was far more than a mere drop.

1) It landed face down (glass-side) on a hard marble surface

2) The crack sound as it landed resonated and reverberated all around

3) A minor earthquake was triggered, such was the extent of the impact

4) Half of the screen stopped working

5) The other half half worked

6) It still connected to my car phone device, so I could still call

7) I cannot retrieve some of my latest photos from the device.

However, I’ve ordered a new replacement which will be here shortly, and have taken a photo of the now wonky screen using one of my other mobile phones. I have a few, just in case.

And on that topic, I think I may invest in a leap-proof case this time as well…

But I can’t help liking the grungy style graphics from the now defunct phone… and when I blur my eye slightly (only one mind!) I think I can see a face in profile. Ah, no… it’s gone again now.

Although fun, it is a rather expensive way to create art, and wouldn’t recommend it for anyone else to make art this way.

    When it comes to that art, you’d prefer to drop the subject?

    Oh …it very much looks like some Tim Holz grunge decorative paper used in mulit media crafting.

    I invest in a protective case for my cell phones, which has saved a few of them. Of course, I miss out on artsy creations such as yours. 😉

      Better missing this type of artistic creation, Eugenia.
      I’ve learned my lesson now and have a case also!

    You need to set your phone to automatically upload photos/videos to iCloud via Wi-fi and then you will always have access to all media, even if pretty catastrophes happen.

      Good suggestion, Claire, and one I will look into. Thanks! 🙂

    Ouch! Your poor mobilius phoneous! (But the “art” is cool, and I got a chuckle over your “Latin”.) 🙂

      Everything has a silver lining, Diane! 😀
      I make up English as well, don’t you know… 😉
