Tonal Tuesday: the chesterfield in the library

Aug 23 2011

Tonal Tuesday: the wool was surprisingly soft

In the attic, in a trunk, wedged under the eaves behind too many boxes of old christmas decorations and odd ephemera that had gathered in the dust and cobwebs was the most magnificent handmade afghan.

It was a timeless blanket made of wool & warm thoughts.

Electric velvet afternoon. Maribelle dropped some acid & then lounged on the fainting couch, eating delicious colors the rest of the pulsing sunshine-filled afternoon. Like you do.

That piece of precious jade—carved into an intricate little elephant—had disappeared without a trace. Little did she know, her beloved totem was not simply a trinket but had a weight and gravity all it’s own. It had been stolen.
