Potent Potables

Potent Potables are strong, alcoholic drinks and a recurring category on the Jeopardy! game show and on the Saturday Night Live skit 'Celebrity Jeopardy!'

Potent potables is also slang for marijuana. These artist creations depict the alcoholic drink meaning, with several showing absinthe.

Inspiration

I get inspiration from browsing through bookstores, thrift stores, antique shops and traveling. Here are some pictures from my latest 'inspiration treks'

These were in the garden of a historical home that I toured.


On the wooden garage doors at the former Phoenix home of Cindy & John McCain (yes, the John McCain who ran for president against Obama.)


The paint had long faded on these doors at the crumbling remains of a hotel in the 'ghost town' of Jerome, Arizona.

Colorful vintage women's handkerchiefs in a Phoenix antique mall


Vintage metal cigarette set - holder, ashtray and lighter


Vintage fabrics, linens and aprons


Details on the neckline of a beaded dress I bought at a local thrift store
