stencil.

I told you I loved Damask. This was a special order for a friend that needs a stencil of damask that incorporates African herd animal heads.  Why wouldn't that be something you could just pick up in the wallpaper store?  Well it should be.

Early Valentines

After being snowed in for a week my artistic inspiration has been taking shape in drawings such as a bottle with a human inside that has their face pressed uncomfortably against the glass.  I didn't really want to subject you all to that bizarreness.  This is my online sketchbook, afterall, not a therapy session.

I did, however, get bored enough to find an exacto knife to make myself a stencil (damask, of course) out of scotch tape covered paper.  Here are a few products resulting from cabin fever, my love for vintage wallpaper, a perfect husband, a gold paper plate (on which the paint for the stencil was), and a black sharpie.

Early Valentines for Mark.  He is, by the way, the greatest possible husband that can exist.  He - in his boredom - (while I was stenciling paper), managed to wash and fold everything in our house.  I mean everything.  Our clothes, towels, the dogs, the couch, everything.  He's the greatest.  As Holly Hunter said in Raising Arizona: "I looove him sooo much!"

Er...babe, if you're reading this...."I loooove you soooo much!"

Wallpaper.

I have a thing for Damask.

Been enjoying my sharpies lately, but I know it's time to pull out my paints [and brushes]. Oh art...I've missed you.
