It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
I've heard of it and know quite a few people who use it but I've never had the pleasure. Love the colours of what you've got!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sherry - I turned this photo into a Vintage look - The colors are a bit brighter than what you see here - I just heard so many people talking about it, that I asked my friend in Tokyo and a care package was in my mailbox a few weeks later, with all these great rolls inside :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't a clue, really! I haven't had the pleasure of coming upon this product, so lucky you~! Nice colors...What will you do with it, Kristine??
ReplyDeleteMargaret ~ Washi tape is like masking tape with designs on it ~ It is not something you see in craft stores, more specialty shops would carry it ~ I am lucky that I have a girlfriend that lives in Tokyo that knew exactly what I meant when I mentioned it, and sent me quite a few rolls ~ My plan is to make handmade cards and scrapbook pages ~ I will use the tape as borders etc ... I also plan to seal letters with the tape ... Just adds some character to a plain envelope ...
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I have never used it, don't even know if there is something like that in stores here. But it's definitely beautiful and could be used in so many projects! I like what you plan to make with it :)
ReplyDeleteSonja - I am just loving these tapes - So fun - They add color and whimsy to any plain white envelope - Looks adorable as a border on a card or scrapbook page etc ...
