Oddly sleepless......
Dec. 4th, 2011 04:01 amOr it could be due to Super Guarana tablets. Damn you to oblivion, Holland & Barratt, i work on the assumption those natural products don't actually do anything.
I have put up and decorated a 3'6'' tree (metric, huh) and baked a cake with treacle, sultanas, lemon, chopped dates etc. It is gorgeous, if slightly awry. I'll just shove marzipan over it - like pollyfilla really.
Plus I have painted over a shoe cabinet the same way I've changed other furnitue -- distress-paint in white then paint a script quotation over that using a no.8 flat brush.
The shoe cab. got Dostoevsky ('Crime and Punishment' of COURSE) "Raskolnikoff gave a shiver. His nerves were very weak."
Ha!
Other quotations I've selected for furniture and clothes (with fabric paint) are:
"He talked on and Tralala smoked and the lampposts flicked by and the meter ticked. He stopped talking when the cab stopped in front of the crossroads."
('Last Exit to Brooklyn' Hubert Selby Jnr. (RIP)
"Boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretched far away" (Osymandias, Yeates)
"As I walked out one midsummer morn". (L. Lee)
"While they pretend to be lost in their fairytales they're steeped in their vision of the dead restored. They're talking of them - talking horrors."
James, 'The Turn of the Screw'.
"There is no such thing as good painting about nothing" Rothko, New York Times, 1943.
And one of mine is (on a little white cotton top) 'I scream You scream".
That cake - it's a good thing my camera is not working.
