Harlequins

I have to admit I am a sucker for harlequins and I don't mean the romance novels. I'm also pretty keen on paint by numbers...really a genius invention, if you ask me. I once painted a 3' x 4' paint by number canvas of the Eiffel Tower. Using an overhead projector I traced hundreds of numbered cells onto the large canvas. It took a surprisingly long time to complete but was awfully satisfying. It now hangs in view from my bathroom so I can admire it while I spend time curling my hair.  I can say I would take on another one as a project, perhaps even this design.

Mid Century Art and Prints

So, I just spotted this little mid century print on the old Etsy. Can't ya just see it in my kitchen? I sure can.

In terms of collecting old junk I personally consider finding good mid century art work, when I say good I do mean to my taste of course, a little trickier than say clothing, furniture, ceramics, kitchenware, jewellery, etc. I have no explanation...so when I see something that catches my eye I do tend to pursue it.

This is a fairly small piece 8x5" or so. I'll think about it...
