you can probably get some free old exterior paint using freecycle.org or craigslist.org if you note what yer gonna use it for – i did the same for getting supplies for renovating this old theater (which we’re starting tomorrow!) and got tons of responses.

yep yep – btw, you just happened to be the most “recent entry” & i was like, ‘oh hey, cordelia was jUst talking about how Mary is going to be painting a mural on the wall.. oh, it IS Mary’

i will definitely be helping with that. and i am pretty sure that i was 8 when i read catherine called birdy. it was recommended for 13+ and we got it for mary oldweiler for her birthday, but i read it all the night before we gave it to her. then i think i got my own copy.

that other book by the same woman (the thinner one) isn’t half as good.

ps. i need to reread song of the lionness pretty soon.

love,
me
(ps matt is right, try to get some free paint!)

i don’t know if you’re looking to express yourself or have something people want to look at or both?

if you don’t feel like expressing yourself, (because you have another way of doing that) then you can get a slide made from a digital photograph of something you like then edited on adobe and printed at CVS to make it abstract or not. then get a slide made of that photograph. or maybe they can just make a slide of the digital picture that would be simpler and cheaper. or just get the slide of a photophraph you already have.

anyway project the image on the wall and paint it. then you can paint on top of that if you want.

then again, you might just want to freestyle it on the wall.
