What Are The Colors Trying To Tell Me?

It's hard to believe that it's just a coincidence that these three things match perfectly.  One is my current organizational notebook (there's a little glare on it in the photo ... here's a better photo as far as color is concerned).  One is the book I'm reading right now, Walden*.  One is fabric from Ikea.  I totally love the charcoal brown and acid green mix.  I think it's the new "light blue/chocolate brown" for me.  But don't you think the world is trying to tell me *something*?  I don't usually believe in signs and omens, but they really have EXACTLY the same colors in them.

In other acid green news (as far as my shirt is concerned), I made it into some of the event pix from the Midwives Collective gallery opening on Friday.  You can see me through the door sculpture here and here (check out the large size of this one.  I swear I didn't know they were taking pix ... it's a completely accidental freak-face).  

Check out the rest of the Gallery Show Flickr Set, too, especially if you won't have a chance to go see it in person (which I totally recommend!).  There is a lot of cool stuff at the show, not the least of which is the directly-on-the-wall piece on which the three artists collaborated.  So much detail!

* Why didn't someone ever tell me what a cranky misanthrope Thoreau was?!  I would have read this book years ago!  I thought he was some warm-fuzzy tree hugger.  Nope.  He's a man after my own crusty, alone-loving heart.

I like these colors! I started reading Thourou once and I still have that book somewhere but only got a couple of pages in... what do you think? maybe I should give it another try some day! I always love the quotes that comes from this book!

Hi, I saw somewhere on the site that you live in Philadelphia, me too! I was just wondering if there are any good places you know of in the city to get some cute fabric? I've tried fabric row but haven't seen anything beyond the standard kinds yet. Just wondering. Thanks! I love your site btw!

That kind of mustardy-curry-yellow-green is one of my hands down favorite color.

It looks like gray & yellow in the photo--more green in the linked photo... I feel like yellow & gray are *definitely* the new chocolate brown & light blue--or the new black & pink. It's everywhere!
