A wild cold wind is circling Moss Cottage. Someone’s going to bed early with The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao. A good stretch of reading is what I need. As soon as the cat posse finishes their pilates maybe they’ll be so kind as to warm my feet. One can hope.
More woodgrain pages. I can’t get enough.
TONI sent me some exquisite security envelopes. I didn’t have these patterns. I’m sure you’ll agree they are fabulous.
I’m fresh out of words this evening. Must’ve used them all up today. Either that or they all fell out of my pockets on the way home. I’ve just got a pile of “ands” and “thes” left. And everyone knows you can’t string together a decent, or even clever sentence with those.

I love the blue stenciled paint on the woodgrain. My good friend Kelly has led me to your site and it is now on my list. I too love spray-paint art but am too lazy to make my own stencils. I am also too lazy to go to any old posts where you might have tutorials on ways to make your own stencils. Any chance of you posting some such knowledge?
The textures and colors inspire me SO! YUM! YUM!
Hey, Why don’t you break out the spray paint and stencils for that all day grade level meeting. I am sure everyone will thank you for it.
I loved the movie Once. Great soundtrack.
greetings from N.E. PA
I came across your blog on a lonely Christmas eve. and I have been hooked ever since. You are visually poetic. I am busy, busy, busy but you inspire me to go back to my journal and play.
Thank you Mignon
WOW!! The “disobey” page … If I could, I would!
I love seeing your rapid-firing synapses shooting off new ideas that develop like those blooms on the branch – ping!…ping!…ping! into gorgeous & amazing!
I didn’t even know what faux b… was! XOXO,S.
Security!
Security!
Somebody call Security!
I think my heart’s been stolen!
Really missed your blog the last two months when I only had access to slow dial-up internet – got a really good fix this afternoon by reading the last 9 weeks! If you want a selection of UK security envelopes, let me know.
So, was the grade level meeting worth the day? I have some envelopes I have been amassing (not a mass yet, just 5-6 so far) for you and a stencil I whipped out on the E-Z Cut, but I don’t know where to ship ’em. My mask came but como una tonta, I didn’t know to order filter cartridges. What kind are needed with that 3M mask? And what is the best (i.e. cheeeeepest) source. So now I sneak into the garage and do one quick spray, trying to breathe or respirate and dash back out.
oooohh, the dark dark wood grain…
As usual, your blog is a feast for the eyes and the soul….Jackie W
in regards to the the the and the and and sentence construction. if you throw in a verb you should be able to make lots of sentences with that adjective and conjunction. throw in a rejoinder and a dangling participle and you could write a novel. if you add 1-2 adjectives it would be a best-seller.
I didn’t think security envelopes could look this good. Holy Moly.
you are right the envelopes are fabulous.
I was on-line yesterday [whilst being bored and Percoset-stoned after some surgery], shopping for CONTACT PAPER! No, not wood grain, I don’t think I’m ready yet (grin). What I liked was this faux suede stuff, ooooh … have you seen it? If I get it, I’ll send you a swatch. Not sure how well you could stencil over it, but it sho’ is pretty! Loving the ‘Disobey’ page with the turquoise lines, the bird. You rock!
Some days it’s just plain hard to be clever…or even decent, really.
Just found your blog. Thank you for depositing your bit of beauty into the realm. Your images and your work are both haunting and achingly lovely.
BTW, get yourself a graining tool at Home Depot. Or Mann Brothers Paint on La Brea. You can make your own faux bois with paint and glaze. Way cool!
I love these pages, especially the first one. Happy reading. Cool security envelopes, too.
yum yum yum…
