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.

Clam shells I use for palettes, faux Wehrli style. In fact really bad faux Wehrli. Instead of putting stuff under the bed, I took it out of the can. HaHaHaHahaHahaHa, as Thom would say! More thought required, this was too quick!

That's a riot, Svenja.

Wehrli started by tidying up art, paintings from famous artists such as Miro, van Gogh etc. I love his picture of van Goghs room in Arles where Wehrli has put all the stuff under the bed. Here is a photo. It's so funny... (Thanks for posting Nancy!)

Here are two more (the last of the article). I have to look him up too, would never have known of him if not for Svenja. This article demanded to be blogged! :--}

It had me laughing the first day. Now I just stare at it and try to figure out why I can't stop.
