Another desirable envelope and Ursus Wehrli from Svenja Wahl

It's another great one, Svenja, and I love the "I am beautiful as a dream of stone." You will have to tell who these nosey little fellows are; they are very cute in that homely sort of way. :--} Of course, the nosey part is what matters most. Thank you, finally, haha: (Excuse please, having trouble posting picture, will do so in comment.)

Svenja also included magazine pages of some incredibly orderly works by Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli. Yes, he does put the world in order. We have agreed that sometimes we wish we could do that in our workspaces, but mostly not, due to love of chaos. Here are some of the pages, which are fascinating. Thanks again, Svenja.

Comment by Svenja Wahl on October 18, 2011 at 5:54am: DVS, I'll have to move, just to many people here on Wahl Street!

Comment by Marie Wintzer on October 17, 2011 at 11:30pm: Yes, another fantastic envelope from Svenja! And I didn't know Ursus Wehrli, or maybe I forgot. I just love this, how original!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 17, 2011 at 10:03pm: I'm starting to think IUOMA blogs contain all I need to know about the world. The Wehrli material and comments are fascinating. And more great work, Svenja! I hope this Occupy Wahl Street thing doesn't have something to do with you.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on October 17, 2011 at 7:53pm: p.s. Had to slightly alter the title of this blog.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on October 17, 2011 at 7:52pm: KDJ, the video is a find! (Ingenious solution to massively "disorganized" paint.) Sometimes his very practiced comic style is distracting or annoying, but I also laughed a lot. Overall what he does with everyday objects seems more interesting, but straightening out the famous artists was fun for a bit. People's comments about the video are worth a look too.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on October 17, 2011 at 7:18pm: Ack, must be. I can't work today. Just stare at the table and my stuff, hands still.

Comment by Svenja Wahl on October 17, 2011 at 6:01pm: Yes, that's exactly what I meant, Nancy! We are infected with a Wehrli-virus? ...

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on October 17, 2011 at 5:57pm: Darn cute story, Angie. I'd love to see Wehrli separate those paint colors. Hardened acrylic, many layers on most of them. He does get you looking at everything according to its parts and rearranging them in your head. Watch out--we could become helpless in his grip.

Comment by Svenja Wahl on October 17, 2011 at 5:34pm: I'm just starting to have a very strange look at the things around me!

Comment by Svenja Wahl on October 17, 2011 at 5:17pm: Very wehrliesk! I love it!!
