July 31, 2020. Post Covid-19 time -an imagining. Bini and Phill are taking some time off - a bit of a pause. Bini is explaining to Rodney that they might spend sometime down at the river fishing and swimming with friends but they also might go camping as well. Rodney is a little sad. “ I am going to miss you guys” he sniffles. “ It’s okay” says Bini “ we will be back every once in a while” . Phill is dreaming of the perfect quiet vacation without crazy adventures. Maybe just a good supply of chips and beer. August is a traditional down time . So this page will be down for a while . Just waiting to see what happens next! #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#biniandphill#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 30, 2020. Post Covid-19 time -an imagining. Bini and Rodney have gone to the zoo with Phill. They are happy to see all the animals but a little upset about the fences and cages. So they are talking to some of the zoo keepers about it. “Well “says one keeper “ some of the animals are too dangerous to be able to just roam around. So for public safety we have to have fences. But we try to give them as natural a habitat as possible.” “Don’t they just want to go back to their own places?” asks Bini. “ Maybe, but most of these animals were born in captivity and wouldn’t know how to live in the wild.” Hmmm thinks Bini I wonder! “Anyway “ says the keeper” things are evolving in zoos and probably we won’t see them in the future.” Rodney and Bini think that’s probably a good thing. Then they realize the Phill has wandered off and got to close to one of the enclosures! A zoo keeper is going to bring him back. “ Come on Phill!” shouts Bini “ We are going to see the seals eat fish!” And away they go Bini and Rodney singing “ We are going to the zoo , zoo, zoo. How about you,you,you?” Well they are really just kids after all!#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#biniandphill#zoo#animals#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartistst

July 29, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. Today the Racoon family has come to visit at Bini’s home. Rodney is very excited and running all around. Suddenly he shouts” Look Mom and Dad. They even have indoor facilities! Even a shower!” “ oh dear” says Rosie very embarrassed” that’s not polite Rodney!” “It’s okay” answers Phill “kids do things like that.” Then Rodney says” We are going to buy a house in this neighborhood!” “ Oh “ says Sam this time. “you know Rodney we are just looking right now!” “But it would be so cool!” moans Rodney. “Well , I hope it’s easier for you than for us” exclaims Phill. “Why?” ask Rosie and Sam. “It takes a while for people here to get use to new neighbours. We had a hard time when we came a few years ago because we are a different type of family. And Rochman has a really hard time. Everyone was always wondering where his feet were and they didn’t like home humming and singing all the time. And of course some people have had a hard time with other racoons , tipping over garbage cans and getting into attics.” explained Phill. Rosie and Sam say they would never be like that and everybody said of course not. “ Well “said Sam “ If we decide to move, we will have to make a good effort to educate the neighbours about what good homeowners racoons can be!” “And” said Rochman “ we can help with that!” Phill and Bini are surprised-Rochman doesn’t usually speak up when they have company! “It’s important!” states Rochman and stops talking. Bini and Rodney go off to check out her books and the rest of them decide to have tea and cookies Rosie baked. #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#biniandphill#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 28, 2020 Post Covid-19 time -an imagining. Bini has an invitation to visit her new friend Rodney. Phill is asked to come too so the families can get to know each other. Phill thinks this is very sensible. Bini is not so sure! Phill has brought chips and beer to share and Mr. Racoon is very pleased! He says “ Call me Sam” and the two of them strike up a friendship just like that. Mrs.Racoon says”well my name is Rosie and I have prepared some special nuts and grubs for you to try!” Bini and Phill are a little unsure about new foods but they politely try and find some are delicious and others are harder to get use to. “ That’s okay “ says Rosie “ you might grow to like the grubs.” Bini and Rodney spend a delightful day reading and sharing stories and climbing trees. Rodney is very good at climbing! When they get home , Rochman wants to now all about the Racoon family. “ Well “ says Bini “ of course they are raccoons! That makes them look different and eat strange foods but Rodney is just the best fellow!” “So” says Phill “ I guess being different is okay?” “Absolutely “ states Bini “ Look at us - we are all different too ! And we are okay with that!” Rochman and Phill have to agree .#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#racoons#forest#biniandphill#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartists

July 27, 2020. Post Covid-19 time. Bini and Phill have gone to the carnival. They rode on the Merry Go Round and Phill enjoyed that ride ! Now they are having a break in the picnic area. Of course Phill has chips! “You know” says Bini “ I am getting older and more responsible.” “Yes I guess that’s true” answers Phill. “So I think it’s time I had a boyfriend!” states Bini-and before Phill could say anything, she adds “ How about the guy who runs the Merry go Round? The one with the black leather jacket? He’s good looking and would be fun!” “Hmmm” mutters Phill “ I think he’s a little mature for you!” “Well how about the cowboy?” asks Bini. “ Now I think you should keep looking” suggests Phill. “But what am I looking for?” grumbles Bini . “ Maybe someone closer to your age and who shares your interests.” is Phill’s suggestion. So Bini looks around and noticed a family sitting near them. And one of them is reading a book! Bini goes over to talk to him and discovers he is reading Alice in Wonderland, unabridged and original version! How exciting! They start talking about Alice and all kinds of topics. Turns out his name is Rodney. Bini likes that name. Time to get phone numbers and emails. Bini has made a friend! #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#biniandphill#carnival#newfriends#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 24, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. Bini managed to persuade Phill to go on a hot air balloon ride. Phill doesn’t like heights and isn’t sure the balloon is safe but there he is! “Wow” shouts Bini “ so many balloons! This is so exciting!” “Ohhhh!” moans Phill “ I don’t feel so good. I wish this thing would stay still”. “But look at the view !” exclaims Bini. “ You can see fields and rivers and trees and there goes some airplanes right below us!” Phill turns a little green and groans “ We are up higher than an airplane! I think I am going to be sick!” Bini pats Phill gently on the back and says “ Okay we can go down now. I didn’t know you got air sick.” Phill answers “ I have never been up this high before . I didn’t know either. And I forgot the chips!” What will Bini do on Monday? Well she has all weekend to come up with something exciting!#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#collage#storytelling#biniandphill#hotairballoon#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 23,2020. PostCovid -19 time -an imagining. Bini and Phill are back home from their adventures. Down by the river , they are all taking a break from the heat by resting at the water’s edge. They have told Rochman all about the princess, the dragon and the witch. And about the monster in the swamp and the castle guards. Rochman finds the whole story incredible not to mention exciting. He is thinking about how brave Bini was and resourceful too. “So now what?” asks Rochman. “ Look “ answers Bini” I’ve been reading all about hot air balloons!” I think that could be a fabulous adventure!” Phill groans and avoids the conversation by saying”I am going to just rest here right now. I have beer to drink and chips to munch on and it’s too hot to think about adventures!” That’s okay thinks Bini, tomorrow is another day! #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#adventures#biniandphill#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 22, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. Well the wicked witch is gone, done in by salty potatoe chips and the princess and Garry the Dragon are free and happy. They show Bini and Phill where the Door is hidden outside the castle walls. Bini finds she is happy and sad at the same time- happy to be able to go home and sad to say goodbye to the princess. They had had a very good time talking while having a celebratory tea time. They promise to stay in touch, maybe even visit again some time. Finally Phill says “It’s time to go.” Bini hugs the princess, pats Garry and off they go through the Door , to be transported back home. What a lot they have to tell Rochman!#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage #collage#biniandphill#travels#adventures#storytelling#dragon#princess#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 20, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. Phill and Bini have been floating around in the swamp for a long time , looking for the Swamp Monster. Bini suggested to Phill that he should leave a trail of chips so they could find their way out later. Phill wasn’t very happy about wasting his chips but realized it was a sensible plan . “Look “ whispers Bini “ over there! I think that’s the monster!” Phill starts whimpering “ oh no! He looks terrible! What can we do? He’s huge! “. “ I think “ says Bini “ that he is an illusion, a fake like those guards. I am going to knock his helmet off with the oar!” And so Bini reaches up with the oar, gives a mighty swing, and off flies the helmet! Inside are wires and tubes and bits of rubber! The monster collapses and shrivels up to a bag of canvas. “ Wow” shouts Phill “ you did it!” “ Now “ says Bini “Back to the castle! Follow the chip trail!” #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#collage#storytelling#biniandphill#monster#londonartistsstudiotour#londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist

July 16, 2020. Post Covid -19 time -an imagining. Bini and Phill have walked and walked and finally have come close to the Castle walls. “ I can’t believe how big it is!” exclaims Bini. “Well “ says Phill “ it’s all an effect of distance and atmosphere...” “Phill, I don’t think I need lessons right now! Anyway there are some Shepard’s here . Let’s see if they can help.” The shepard is not much help at all. He just keeps muttering “ Beware! Beware! Go away!” And then suddenly he falls into his hands and knees with his head on the ground! There is a slight hissing and popping sound behind them and when they turn around there is a dragon! He hisses” Ive been sent to warn you away! Go now while the goings good!” “But we can’t!” says Bini “ we have lost the Door and we need help!” The dragon is staring at Phill and suddenly says are those chips? The witch doesn’t like chips!” “Oh, yes” answers Phill” Would you like some?” “Oh yes please”!”says the dragon. He crunches chips happily and then says” You know the princess might help . But you might have to do her a few favours in return.” Bini and Phill look at each other and then Bini says “Let’s go see the princess. She sounds like our only chance.” “ Okay” says the dragon “ But you might not like it!” And off they go , Phill clutching his chips tightly and worrying about everything! Bini and the dragon seem to be getting along rather well. #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#fantasy#storytelling#covidtime#biniandphill#chips#castles#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#londont#519 london#canadianartist

There is a big ominous mountain, a romantic castle and most disturbing of all -the Door has disappeared! So they decided to walk towards the castle hoping to find somebody to help. After a long weary walk, they have stopped to rest and snack on some chips. “ You know” says Bini “ I think I see a dragon flying around the mountain!” “Oh “ says Phill without really looking, “ you must be imaging things” “No I am not!” says Bini positively “ And I am sure there is someone watching us and hiding in the bushes!!” So Phill decides to look and it seems that Bini is right! “This is so creepy!” shouts Phill. “ I think we should get going!” And away they go, now much faster and really hoping there is someone to help at the castle! See what happens next tomorrow!#sarahcowlingartist 3dcollage#collage#biniandphill#fantasy#storytelling#imagination#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#519london#canadianartist

Let’s hope its fun! “ Look at this!” exclaims Bini “ How exciting! Look at that far away ominous mountain and the romantic castle! I wonder who lives there?” “ okay “ agrees Phill “ The castle is romantic looking but I don’t like that ominous mountain! The trouble with imaginary stuff is that it is never what it looks like!” “Let’s just go with the flow! Try not to think so much!” Bini tells Phill. Phill can’t help thinking, he is a philosopher after all. What he is most happy about is that he brought the chips!

July 13, 2020. Post Covid-19 time. Bini and Phill were in New York to check out the fashion scene and stayed for a few days because there is so much to see in New York. They went to Times Square, ( so many people !) picked a play to see later in the day at an off Broadway theatre and are some street food. Then to Central Park where Bini sailed a little boat on the Lake and a ride on the Carousel. By the time they got to the Guggenheim , Bini was tired and so walked around quietly. What a relief for Phill! “ so “asks Phill” how was New York? “ “ Fabulous “ says Bini “ But so much traffic and people! I am sure I saw a Bat-mobile too! Also I really wanted to run down the ramp at the Guggenheim but I was too tired. “ . So everyone had fun in New York. Let’s see where they go next. #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#collage#newyork#storytelling#binandphill#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#travel#canadianartist

July 10, 2020. Post Covid-19 -an imagining. Bini has been checking out some of the fashion magazines at the drug store and is interested in the scene. So off they go to New York to see one of the fashion centres of the world. “Boy” says Bini “Some if those ladies in black look kind of dangerous and not very happy! I thought if you were glamorous you would be happy!” “ No , I think you will find happiness somewhere else,” answers Phill. “ But they have everything- beauty, money, fame” states Bini. “Well I guess that’s not it!”says Phill. “ Hmmm, and those young girls look like they are trying really hard to be noticed” muses Bini “ but I guess I won’t be noticed because I can’t wear those crazy clothes!” “ Don’t be upset “ says Phill” You are who you are and that’s just right.” “Maybe we can tour New York while we are here?”asks Bini. “Yes, there are great art museums here! The Frick, the Guggenheim....” rattles off Phill. Oh no thinks Bini hope there are other things to see!#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#collage#newyork#fashion#happiness#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#canadianartist

So off they go to New York to see one of the fashion centres of the world. “Boy” says Bini “Some if those ladies in black look kind of dangerous and not very happy! I thought if you were glamorous you would be happy!” “ No , I think you will find happiness somewhere else,” answers Phill. “ But they have everything- beauty, money, fame” states Bini. “Well I guess that’s not it!”says Phill. “ Hmmm, and those young girls look like they are trying really hard to be noticed” muses Bini “ but I guess I won’t be noticed because I can’t wear those crazy clothes!” “ Don’t be upset “ says Phill” You are who you are and that’s just right.” “Maybe we can tour New York while we are here?”asks Bini. “Yes, there are great art museums here!

July 9, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. After the train trip to the Rockies, Rochman became interested in possibly finding his family background. And so off they all go via the Door to Easter Island. “ Lots of rocks here! “ exclaims Bini. “Yes” mutters Rochman “ but are they family?” “Phill” asks Bini “ why did you bring all that beer and chips? I thought you were cutting back?” “Oh, I feel that Rochman will need some beer and chips after he does his research. Sometimes looking into your ancestors can be surprising or even upsetting,” answers Phill. “Well I am going to help by reading up on the history of Easter Island.” says Bini. Meanwhile Rochman has walked about and asked a few questions and is finally talking to the Big Head. After a while he comes back and says shortly” Let’s go I am done here!” “But what about meeting family?” asks Bini. “ There’s no one left here for me “ snaps Rochman “ And anyway they are all so stiff and stuck up!” Well thinks Bini you’re a bit stiff yourself! Anyway Phill says “ Have a beer? Some chips?” Rochman helps himself and begins to feel better. Bini says” Never mind Rochman. You will always have Phill and I for family”. “Thank goodness !” exclaims Rochman “ Lets go home!” #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#collage#storytelling#biniandphill#family#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario

July 7, 2020. Post Covid-19 - an imagining. After yesterday’s exciting visit to the pirates, Phill has asked the Door for a cultural, civilizing trip. So they are in an art gallery. Phill is so happy , he is seeing some of his favourite paintings for the first time. Unfortunately he tends to drone on a bit about the glories of these works of art and Bini is terribly bored. Just in time she meets a little girl to play with. They are laughing and giggling and the grandparents ignore them for a little while but then they start a game of chase and everyone is upset! The grandparents, the security guards and finally Phill are all telling them to settle down, be quiet etc. Just then, one of the guards looks at Phill and says severely “ Sir, are you eating chips in the Gallery?! Out you go and take that little hooligan with you!” Well that’s it , off they go to sit in the garden and finish the chips together. “ I’m sorry” apologizes Bini “ I ruined your day!” “ Its okay” answers Phill “ I broke the rules too! I guess we need more practice being in public spaces!” Well maybe tomorrow, we shall see!#sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#collage#paper#scissors#glue#biniandphill#artgallery#chips#covidbreak#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#519london#canadianartist

July 6, 2020. Post Covid-19 time-an imagining. Our two travellers have arrived back in the time of the pirates! It seems that Door can take them anywhere at any time period. “Wow” shouts Bini “Pirates!” “And it looks like they are ready to fight the good guys!” Exclaims Phill. “ I see the pirates have dug up the treasure !” Bini is very excited. “ They seem to have lots of weapons and a canon. I don’t think they will give up without a fight!” “ Well “ answers Phill “ You are a lot more blood thirsty than I ever thought possible!” “ But it’s a very exciting story!” Protests Bini. “Except it’s not a story” shouts Phill. “Those are real weapons! Time for us to go” Thank goodness the Door is waiting close by! Tomorrow Phill hopes for a quieter trip. His nerves are getting a workout! #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#biniandphill#pirates#collage#paper#scissors#glue#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#519london#covidstories#pirates#travel#timetravel#canadianartist

July 3, 2020. Post Covid-19 time - an imagining. Stay safe everyone! Today Phill needs a break. He told the Door to take them somewhere with good fishing, somewhere peaceful. And here they are floating on the river with other fishermen. It’s quiet. Just murmuring voices now and then, the occasional plop of a jumping fish, a few birds tweeting and the gentle whirl of a fishing reel winding in. “ This is perfect!” Sighs Phill. “ But” says Bini “What about all the problems? Nothing’s fixed yet!” “Shhhh” says Phill “ There’s always tomorrow. Enjoy your fishing! Right now it’s beer and chips time!” I can see that! thinks Bini. Well she might as well enjoy the fishing and relax. It looks like Phill is not going anywhere anytime soon. #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#collage#paper#scissors#glue#storytelling#biniandphill#fishing#peaceful#river#londonartistsstudiotour londonontario#ldnont#519london#covidtime#canadianartist

July 2, 2020. Post Covid-19 time( are we there yet?)- an imagining. Well Bini and Phill have landed in a very strange place. There are trees and snow, a lamp post and a sleigh! What’s going on? “ I know “ exclaims Bini “ we are in Narnia in winter! There’s the forest and the lamppost and oh no the witch Queen Nania!” “Bini” yells Phill “ be careful! The witch is going to run you over! And don’t take any Turkish delight from her!” Bini jumps out of the way and the witch queen drives on. As Bini and Phill head back to the Door Bini muses, “ In the Narnia books good people get together and banish the bad. Do you think that might happen in real life?” “I certainly hope so “ answers Phill. #sacowlingartist#3dcollage#collage#paper#scissors#glue#narnia#storytelling#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#519london#canadianartist

July 1, 2020. Post Covid time(maybe) -an imagining. Very exciting day for our friends! Bini and Phill have travelled with the Door to outer space! “ Just Wow” exclaims Bini. “ Look at the astronaut and look at the world. This is so amazing! “ “ I never thought the world would look like that “ says Phill “ It really looks like one of my marbles I lost when I was a little eggplant just growing in the garden!” “You know those people over there look kind of like robots” cries out Bini. “Not people or robots!” Shouts Phill “ I think those are aliens and not friendly ones! Run for the Door Bini! Time to go elsewhere!” And away they go just in the nick of time! #sarahcowlingartist #3dcollage#storytelling#paper#scissors#glue#clay#old toys#inagination#travel#space#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#519london#edinburghcollagecollective #canadianartist
