Hi Grace,
I try to post…no idea whether it will actually work:
The collage in your kitchen looks great! Long ago I bought and collected exhibition posters. I wanted to cover all the walls of a kitchen or bathroom with them once I had enough… I never had enough and I never owned a house or flat…so here I am: White walls everywhere! Boring!
Have a great day,
evaLikeLike

these cloths look fine on white. I think they might not live there forever, but they might.

it just can’t be rushed, can it. but it will come. like sitting with cloth waiting for it to speak. and i love seeing a piece i haven’t seen before–the face on the door under the sink. where has she been?

finding a point where i can be comfortable with this
new kitchen. it’s in the Middle of the house, in the
Middle of everything. is actually the Center.
if i just leave it as is now, it will not be easy,
getting used to it. white. not even really, faux ivory.
if i keep trying to tweek it, How? can i really go
back to walmart with that can of paint and ask the
man to add something? do i keep bringing home other
colors, smaller amounts of, and layer and layer? and
how do i account for how any color seen in the store is
going to be different once in the kitchen, because of
the light.
and all the above, keeping in mind that the reason for
the change was to simplify the cheese making diorama.LikeLike

Eva…i wish you could still do that…
maybe put it all on some kind of lightweight board
and delicately tack it to a wall??LikeLike

could you let yourself scribble the story straight on those cupboard doors with a big fat felt marker the kind with indelible ink so it can be washed and then when it gets too wild just white wash then draw again to make a palimpsest of story, a whiteboard for ideas!

around here, we just add blobs from artist acrylics (the cheap kind)to small cups of the original paint. Like a shot of ochre into a cup of white and seeing if it feels you. Smear it on and see how it feels. (Just kind of keep track of what you are doing in case you get a Eureka color and then can’t remember how to reproduce it).

both these ideas are things i never IMAGINED to do…
BOTH ARE GREAT!!!!
i rarely miss stuff i have given away, but i had taken all
my oil paint, art kind, to the thrift shop a couple years ago
and found self missing them for this. but the acrylics..EEEEEeeee
and writing with black pen…

very simple like Jude’s b/w 9 patch OR thin lines of writing on
white paper….another EEEEEEeeeee
