Abstract Untitled |
The wood card table will be used for puzzles, and odd projects like a place to allow things to dry.
During the furniture moving, there's also clearing out stuff. The tall trash can where I stored rolled up drawings, wallpaper and such is now a clothes hamper. A file cabinet is in the corner instead. More has moved here and there to organize, tidy up, declutter. I've also found small projects to add to the cold weather indoors project basket.
The abstract is one such discovery rolled in a tube with other stuff. I recall it as being on gesso primed paper. To my surprise, it is on primed canvas without a stretcher.
Who know moving furniture could be so much fun.
I found a 1982 duck applique and stuffed decoy book with the pattern; a cross stitch door pull kit; wood pieces for projects; tons of buttons; a knitting project; drawing paper; and more.
So that's where that was!...ruled.
Wooly Bear Caterpillar 2014 |
According to folklore, the longer the brown band on the Wooly Bear caterpillar, the milder the winter. In 2014, the band was long, visible as he scurried stretched out across the driveway.

Maybe the Wooly Bear isn't such a good weather predicter.
Imagine what a fun floor it would be painted, stenciled or stamped with bird tracks.
A home with imagination a person doesn't need explained is human nature indoors. Dream of the room first or create it from something you discover shares your aesthetic wave length, both methods breath from our nesting instincts.
