New Collagesity underground and its railroad tunnels…

… has a psychic link with the railroad tunnel running underneath the old Devizes, UK castle site. So says town clairvoyant Adam Westend, whose namesake house in Collagesity’s far west region was ~~demolished~~ ~~recovered~~ demolished in the recent earthquake. The large Fal Mouth Moon Gallery towering above the underground, a slight alteration of a Moard Ling structure called “castle 12”, logically dovetails with the Devizes Castle itself. Interesting (!) Westend also divines that a recent Devizes area (Roundway) crop circle in the Real World is actually a hyperdimensional map of the Collagesity Underground as it extends into other towns both real and virtual.

Collagesity & Stonethwaite: Sister Sities

Stonethwaite’s “Stonethwaite End and Restaurant” from the “Falmouth 26” collage and Collagesity’s Town Diner probably make the most direct link between the sister towns. Falls are associated with each. Dorothy’s fall appears to be the same or very closely related to Diner Falls dropping past Head of Perch/The Olive. The falls on the distant hill (Estatoah Falls, Georgia) in the related collage could also compare to Collagesity’s Tired Falls…

… as could this cascade from “Falmouth 27”, the next in the 61 work Falmouth collage series from earlier this year and the second to depict a Stonethwaite setting. The falls of the collage are culled from Greenup Gill just up the valley from the Lake District village.

The interior of the “Stonewaite End and Restaurant” appears to also mirror that of the Collagesity Diner. This connection will act as a type of direct portal between the two later on, or what I call a “looking glass” situation.

There’s a “two-dimensional” blue bike in both Falmouth’s Stonethwaite — near the center of town, and also Collagesity — next to the diner. The blue member of the rock band Story Room appears before the former; there’s a strutting blue robot near the latter.

The next connection is, on the surface, vaguer and more diffuse. Shelly Duval is wearing a toy fireman’s helmet with a star logo in “Falmouth 30” (see: here). Ringo Starr appears next to her with a giant, glinty star at his midsection, an image taken from Glinda the Good Witch’s wand in the classic 1939 Wizard of Oz film.

In what seems to be a corresponding Collagesity shot, one of the two ladders of the Confluence Place is seen, relating to fireman’s ladders. Also in one of Veyot’s more amusing blog notes, building from my own story, she states that firemen were called in to rescue a golden retriever puppy from the roof of Gallery BOB next to the Confluence Place (middle of below photo). I would add that they might have had to use the ladders of the Confluence Place if theirs, say, weren’t long enough or were misplaced, etc. Or perhaps the Confluence Place ladders did double duty as the sole ladders of the town’s fire brigade. Interesting concept.

What does it all mean? Still figuring that out. But I know a further link between Collage Stonethwaite and Collagesity has been made through Aqua Teen’s Master Shake now, building directly on the twin diner portal mentioned above.

Collagesity Mysteries 01

About a week and a 1/2 ago, an avatar named Tseten Thokmey bought my Hector land for a sum I deemed just barely adequate for the transaction. I loved that land! Still do. I could live around the Rubi forest once again. But look at what Tseten has done: he’s essentially extended the forest into his farm! A bucolic existence he has carved out. More power to him, and I’ll probably have some things to say about Tseten later on. Just yesterday or the day before, land came up for sale bordering the lower part of his farm. Was I tempted to, once more, buy next to the Great Rubi Forest? Yes, a bit. But I realize that I’m committed to Noru, and the hard fought battle is now over with. Time to heal the wounds and not open them up again. Tseten would have made a fantastic neighbor, and, yes, we could have extended his farm and the forest as a whole even further…

… but, then again, I have a fantastic new neighbor in Noru now! My previous neighbor in Philudoria, Veyot, during the original incarnation of VWX Town there last summer, has decided to commit to a piece of the excitement happening in Collagesity, purchasing a 512 parcel just behind the Power Tower Gallery. Her purchase basically extends the town in a westerly direction, making Collagesity almost run the entire 256 meter east-west extent of Noru. Not quite but fairly close. I’m continually surprised how synchronicities like this work, and I view the neighbor quandry, quickly resolved mind you, as a kind of residue energy of the whole Noru-Rubi “battle”. Instead of Baker Bloch becoming the neighbor of Tseten in Rubi, Veyot becomes Baker Bloch’s neighbor in Noru. Another red-blue exchange, then.

And her parcel is very nature oriented as well. 🙂 A nice East End park for certain. And I’ll have more to say about Veyot later on as well, as things continue to develop in the new town. What up with all those things going on in the Confluence Place??

Baker also recently visited the village he created in Yeot this past spring. Presently, he has no way to further alter the strange, little burg, but he’s just come up with a name: Gong. Or Gongsity. More recently he went there to copy Edward’s Building/Gallery to place in Collagesity.

Gongsity.

Gongsity, with namesake Gong’s waters made transparent.

—–

So, returning to Collagesity, there are many mysteries yet to be solved or even revealed, like the fact that the red and blue robots on either side of the Coolie Building (since moved) lie directly north and south of each other, and on Hi Way and Lo Way respectively. I didn’t plan this alignment; I didn’t plan a lot of Collagesity’s alignments that just *happened*.

I just received a text message that Carrcassonnee has suggested we call her home the Cardinal Place instead of the Confluence Place. I’ll add it to the original town meeting’s docket, which should be happening pretty soon.

“Red/Blue”:

Red/Blue

Along with Carrcasssonnee, we’ve already talked to ballerina Dona in this blog, apparent twin to the very similarly colored flower directly behind her as seen in the camera angle below. And we’ve actually already talked to this “flower” in the blog, as a blog spirit I mean (think: Hucka D., primary blog spirit). I wonder if Dona and/or Flower know Carrcassonnee? I would imagine so.

Looking up Tired Falls toward the heart of the village. The buildings around this falls are among its oldest, originally forming a smaller settlement called Tired Falls itself. This according to several of our blog spirits, including Hucka D., Carrcassonnee, and maybe Dona/Flower. I’ll certainly have more to say about this original settlement soon.

I’ve noticed a resemblance between Collagesity and the fairly similarly sized Lake District village of Stonethwaite, England, the latter being the subject of a good chunk of my most recent and also largest collage series called Falmouth, housed in the Fal Mouth Moon gallery in town. And, yes, I’ll have more to say about that soon as well.

Check this out: my collage reinvented Stonethwaite and Noru’s Collagesity both have blue bikes (!) Are they the *same* bike? Could be. Perhaps the super band Story Room will have some things to say about that. The blue man next to the bike is one of its 3 members that I know of, although a fourth is rumored. But I can hear Hucka D.’s talk echoing in my head, as he says, “there’s always a rumored 4th [about groups of 3].” He’s probably right.

In the largest Falmouth collage, Story Room’s red member balances out the blue one on its opposite side. But since the collage goes ’round in a big circle, the red and blue beings are also actually next to each other. Why is blue upright and red sideways? Why does “Red’s” ruby red feet impossibly project through the corner of a Stonethwaite building? More blue-red mysteries for certain!

Cover Up

bb:

Hucka D., the Falmouth series has climbed even with the Gilatona-Lis event from last year, and maybe surpassed it. Gilatona-Lis collages were almost exclusively Wiltshire backdrops. None of those has appeared in Falmouth (yet!), but ’bout everything else has. Seathwaite may be next.

Hucka D.:

Falmouth is not more important than Gilatona-Lis but it is different and unique and evenly valued, as you’ve determined. Surprise (!) Now you have to figure out what it means. As you’ve also guessed, the parts of the series are linked more through the *floors* of the Falmouth Gallery, instead of the traditional [Art 10×10] tiers of 10 collages apiece. Gilatona-Lis was a step removed from this tier process but still dependent on it as a framework. Falmouth is further away. Falmouth is sort of a catch-all.

bb:

I don’t even know where to begin to analyze Falmouth.

Hucka D.:

You have an animation based on Steptoe at the beginning. That’s new in itself. No true animation has been made of your collages before. Then toward the end you have another 4-part Avebury style collage, except set in Stonethwaite. And incorporating basically all the elements of the 2 Stonethwaite collages that come before this, both from the 10×10. Amazing, again. And in the collage above, which is an animation, you have the presence of TILE. You have red glow atop the 8 ball to the right, an [early 2010 crop circle in yellow rapeseed], a green being — the 4th member of Story Room actually — removing his head [standing on green algae of the lake/pond]. You’ve seen this entity before in Stonethwaite. Let’s return to him. Then the blue of both the “E” and mirrored Square Peanut complete the 4 TILE colors. Fantastic. You had to go out of Stonethwaite to see this.

bb:

But you can still see Stonethwaite in the distance. The “E” is centered within[ it].

Hucka D.:

Kubrick flies up the mountain, up Big Stanger Gill or maybe Little Stanger Gill — hard to tell without a map. “Where are they, where are they?” he thinks. He’s worried about the entities formerly in the backyard of one of Stonethwaite’s b&b’s, where the green and gray beings of the collage were kept. Are kept. But Kubrick also wants to keep *filming*, that is, from your perspective, [keep making] collages. So he brings along the camera. He and the cameraman’s hand he holds in the 1st Stonethwaite collage of Falmouth become one and the same. So we see Kubrick there, we see him in the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant with Day Ravies and Dorothy and the “E”s. And also Jack there — another hand issue. Then we see him and Jack again playing handsies outside perhaps the same b&b the green and gray dudes are found behind in the big Falmouth collage. Also the crashed Mr. Beam is there who reappears here, head dipping in the Tarn of Leaves, seemingly. Is he dead?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka D. (pause) Grapeshot is indicated by the tip of his foot. Let’s take a look at a larger version of the same crop circle, a crop circle that also plays an important role in “Baker Bloch in England”.

Hucka D.:

Indeed.

—–

bb:

Well, we can just pull up Falmouth 24 for a look-see.

It’s the out-of-place grape shot at the top of the formation his foot points to, or the tip of his foot overlaps. Out-of-place.

Hucka D.:

We could go deep into that aspect alone. This is TILE. This is Tyle.

bb:

The crop circle is from Yarnbury, a Y town. It appears near the bottom of a master list of crop circles by location down through the years.

Hucka D.:

As you’ve further guessed, the 8 ball is Ringo again, as determined by his placement in the Pepper Pyramid. Ringo assumes the 8 ball position there, as John is the 7th, McCartney the 9th, and Harrison 10.

“E” Exhibit, 02

Big E as seen from the north, with the sims from the lower part of the Korean Channel adorning the individual square surfaces on this side, 1 per square again. These would be the sims Karoz is most familiar with, starting with Xilted at the right hand bottom, closest to his Noru home. A broad strip of land extends from Xilted northward through Glasso, which Karoz has run a number of times now in its entirety.

On the south side of the Big E, then, are Channel sims from its upper part, which include another long strip of land but on the west side of the Channel this time, and considerably more narrow than the one on the lower, east side of the Channel from the snapshot above.

—–

Let’s start with the latest and work backwards. This is the interior of the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant. Ray Davies, perhaps the same as Dr. Blood, and Edward Swift wait within, along with Judy Garland as Dorothy. We haven’t seen Ray and Edward before in Falmouth’s Stonethwaite collages, but Dorothy appears in the first, in the process of toppling off the roof of this same building. An “E” is next to her on the roof, perhaps the object directly responsible for the spill. Falls (Estatoah Falls, Georgia) are on the hillside in the background, mirroring Dorothy’s fall. Dorothy is culled from an image of her losing her balance while walking the pigpen fences in The Wizard of Oz film, and falling in among the pigs. This comes precisely at 4 minutes into Dark Side of the Rainbow. Amazingly she doesn’t get the least bit dirty; when we see her being carried by farmhand Zeke out of the pen (later: Cowardly Lion), she’s still clean as a whistle. What does this rooftop “E” have to do with the fall? It’s obviously a symbol of TILE and Second Lyfe’s Korean Channel. Now we find a set of mapped “E”s inside as well, along with a Dorothy (has she recovered from her fall, or is that still in her future?). There are 2 “E”s now, one forwards (1st animation) and one reversed (2nd animation). Although on opposite sides of the room, both “E”s are next to lamps, and the second is additionally propped up beside a lit fireplace. As the prominent color blue of the “E”s represents water (aforementioned Korean Channel), then we seem to have a water-fire polarity implied, or hot vs. cold.

Hucka D.:

I was woke up to help. Good day baker b.

bb:

Hi Hucka D. As I was telling the reader or readers, what could be the last Stonethwaite collage of the Falmouth series — and the last of the series as a whole — seems to acts as a frame for the first. Both focus in on the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant, the finest such establishment in Stonethwaite village, probably, and certainly the largest. It’s not called that in reality, however.

Hucka D.:

Collage reality is fine for here. Best to give it a false real name, then.

bb:

What are the “E”s?

Hucka D.:

Two ends of the restaurant, and also 2 ends of the village. You are not finished with Stonethwaite yet, however. You better check.
