Late for a Very Important Date

After

drooling over,

following,

considering,

observing,

&

yearning toward

the

pages of

all the brilliant spray paint artists

in Bloglandia for

the last 3+ years,

but remaining only an ardent admirer ...

Spray Paint Love

has

finally

taken

hold of me.

Spray Paint,

Stencils,

& Silhouettes/Masks.

I am in possession of:

10 cans

of assorted spray paints,

not including RED,

[a gap which I will fill this evening].

I have

a 12" x 12"

plastic storage box

filled with stencils

I've collected

or cut

over the last 4 years.

I have one manila

file folder

full of silhouettes/masks

I've been cutting

for the last year.

My patio roost table

is now sheathed in

a large leaf & lawn bag,

taped down.

It has received a promotion,

you see,

to

Spray Paint Central.

True Story.

I have a box of

legal-sized

manila folders,

bought on sale at Walmart,

awaiting their turn

On The Table.

Tonight,

I'm going to Ace Hardware

to meet with Gabe,

my spray paint enabler,

to talk about masks,

so as to avoid

Spray Paint Hangover Head

such as I experienced yesterday.

And to buy a can of

RED.

I'm also going to mosey

thru the aisles

on the hunt

for interesting objects,

shapes, filters,

meshes,

chain, string,

anything

I can conceivably use as a stencil. 

I've already

frisked my house

as thoroughly as possible,

&

I have the shop guys

here at work

on Seek-&-Find Patrol

amid their materials,

also!

Above: 

I love this one 

because

it looks like

old wallpaper,

torn & worn & stained & weathered,

such as I've seen

in abandoned

or

very old houses.

Toni's Spray Paint Campaign Has Begun!

My Mission

[which I've already chosen to accept]

is to build the backgrounds

for my next journal,

to ultimately be

coil-bound between

mat board covers

and

then toted about

in my

Big Ass Purse

for

daily journaling.
