KING LEAR: Art not ashamed to look upon this beard?

GREMIO: 'A health!' quoth he, as if
  • He had been aboard, carousing to his mates
    After a storm; quaff'd off the muscadel
    And threw the sops all in the sexton's face;
    Having no other reason
    But that his beard grew thin and hungerly
    And seem'd to ask him sops as he was drinking.
BOTTOM: I will discharge it in either your straw-colour
  • beard, your orange-tawny beard, your purple-in-grain
    beard, or your French-crown-colour beard, your
    perfect yellow.
BOTTOM: All that I will tell you is, that
  • the duke hath dined. Get your apparel together,
    good strings to your beards,

It's just a beard-bowl, Ron. When my cousin saw it, he said he wanted to barf. I asked him what he would think about it if it was shaped into a beer-holder. He said that would work.

Neufer posted while i was doing the first version of this post, so this is the second version. Once again he's avoided being 'stumped'. Can we expect anything less??

Does this qualify as a Stump Art?

It's a BIG job but someone should do it.

That's what witches & pharmacists are for:
---------------------------------------------------------------
  • First Witch: Round about the cauldron go;
    . In the poison'd entrails throw.
    . Toad, that under cold stone
    . Days and nights has thirty-one
    . Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
    . Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

    ALL: Double, double toil and trouble;
    . Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

    Second Witch: Fillet of a fenny snake,
    . In the cauldron boil and bake;
    . Eye of newt and toe of frog,
    . Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
    . Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
    . Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
    . For a charm of powerful trouble,
    . Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

    ALL: Double, double toil and trouble;
    . Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

    Third Witch: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
    . Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
    . Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
    . Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
    . Liver of blaspheming Jew,
    . Gall of goat, and slips of yew
    . Silver'd in the moon's eclipse,
    . Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
    . Finger of birth-strangled babe
    . Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
    . Make the gruel thick and slab:
    . Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
    . For the ingredients of our cauldron.

    ALL: Double, double toil and trouble;
    . Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

    Second Witch: Cool it with a baboon's blood,
    . Then the charm is firm and good.

<<Katharina Kepler (1546 – 13 April 1622), born Katharina Guldenmann, was married to Heinrich Kepler and had one daughter and three sons; one of them was Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630). In 1615, a witch trial was initiated by Lutherus Einhorn who in his reign as Vogt of Leonberg (1613 - 1629) accused 15 women of sorcery and executed 8 of them. He acted in accordance with the will of the government and the public, which had asked for an investigation of sorcery, and issued an arrest of Katharina Kepler in 1615. Ursula Reingold, a woman in a financial dispute with Kepler's brother Christoph, claimed Kepler's mother Katharina had made her sick with an evil brew. Johannes Kepler defended his mother himself, with the assistance of his university in Tübingen. One of his student friends, Christopher Besoldus, assisted her juridically.

Her son took her away to Linz in December 1616. When she returned to Leonberg in the summer of 1620, she was rearrested and imprisoned for fourteen months. Katharina was subjected to territio verbalis, a graphic description of the torture awaiting her as a pharmacist witch, in a final attempt to make her confess. She was released in October 1621, thanks in part to the extensive legal defense drawn up by Kepler. Throughout the trial, Kepler postponed his other work to focus on his "harmonic theory". The result, published in 1619, was Harmonices Mundi ("Harmony of the World").>>

I resemble that remark though I'd rather not be related to one who caused grief to Kepler or his family. I like burning questions not people. Hmmm- maybe I should change my signature... :?:
