Weird question about art placement
Comments (12)Well I kinda..um..have a historical line of mishaps that kinda um..aim at my head lol..starting with a kitten defending himself from my generous help to get off the roof when I was five(I had this scar for years after)..then breaking my nose during a fierce snowball game when I was 12(did someone here ever had a complicated plastic surgery, no anesthesia? they didn't waste anesthesia on me back then..just tied me with belts..if you had it-you know..very helpful for the future when you need to encourage yourself or something)..and then to the various motor vehicle accidents, including being hit by a van.. I wouldn't say it's earthquakes per se..)) I also don't sleep at night for all sorts of reasons but earthquakes. it's more like I'm a well informed optimist lol..chances being hit in the head being statistically slim and all..))) (we had this saying: "a pessimist is a well informed optimist, an optimist is a well instructed pessimist.".))...See MoreQuestion about printable art from Etsy
Comments (17)For copyright, most places just make you sign a waiver these days, although I did have trouble with Kinko's some years back because I couldn't get a waiver from Vivaldi to publish a transcription of "Winter" from The Four Seasons. ETA It totally depends on the staff in your local store as which is better. Here, FedEx Kinko is totally uninterested, while the people at Staples bend over backwards to produce work that satisfies you. But Kinko's before FedEx had by far the best crew working there. Just go talk to the folks at the various places. I doubt you'll find folks who really understand color management in any of those places these days except by luck. And one store of a chain can be radically better than another for the same kind of job, as is the case with our Staples. The next-closest store was horrible....See MoreHELP!!!

Comments (33)I have no help to add about the art but I do love the colorful rug @celery showed I the last post. Something dramatic with that gorgeous green in it will tie the room together. Your dining table is stunning! And the green chairs are a happy surprise ( most dining rooms have all chairs the same)....See MoreI'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours...... ART WORK that is!
Comments (70)I tried to post and found all my air-dropped files were in a format that would not post. Will have to find time to redo them. But my art is so different -- some "fine" and a lot of contemporary and folk art. This was the only one that worked and I took it down towait, but in case I don't make it back (I am behind on an 8 week course and trying to get caught up) -- this will be my one contribution. This is titled Angels from Above and was painted in response to the attack on 9/11. It hangs in my LR where I have an Americana folk piece, a new still life that may not have found its permanent home and some other contemporary art. It's an eclectic grouping with the link being rich saturated colors. The sofa is midnight velvet and the chairs are natural linen, both treated as neutrals. The background is an inset above the mantle that was painted for another painting when this was in DR. It isn't terrible with the painting, but were painted the walls and now I want to pick a new color for the inset and different painting....See MoreKim Aves
