Day 74 - 3/14/12 Common Threads

After a few weeks of feeling uninspired creatively, I got busy

last night spiffing up a plain white dish towel.

 I love the blue of the pre-mixed photo emulsion!

Before:

 After:

 The quote on the screen is from a conversation from The Vicar of Dibley between vicar Geraldine Granger and her rather scatter-brained verger, Alice Tinker.

I think it's perfect on a kitchen accessory! 

I modified it a bit to make it fit the screen. 

(I've posted it at the end, below if you cannot read it here.)

 Trying to find a color close enough to yellow (since the quote's about butter!) that's

still dark enough to read.  I settled on a nice orange-y yellow.

 I saw after that I didn't tape off enough and got a nice little orange stripe on the

left side, but, that's how it goes!  

Alice Tinker: You know that stuff that they're selling now at the local shop?

Geraldine Granger: Which stuff?  

AT: I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.  

GG: Oh, yeah.  

AT: Well, you know, I can't believe it's not butter.  

GG: Yeah, well, I believe that is the idea.  

AT: Then yesterday I went to Kirkenden and I bought this other stuff, like a sort of home brand, you know.  

GG: Yes?  

AT: And, you know, I can't believe it's not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.  

GG: Mmmm?  [pause]  

GG: I'm losing you now.  

AT: Oh, right. Well, you know I Can't Believe It's Not Butter?  

GG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you think it is butter.  

AT: No, no. I mean, you know the stuff that I can't believe is not butter is called I Can't Believe It's Not Butter?  

GG: Probably, yeah, yeah.  

AT: Well, I can't believe the stuff that is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. And I can't believe that both I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and the stuff that I can't believe is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter are both, in fact, not butter. And I believe... they both might be butter... in a cunning disguise. And, in fact, there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was.  

GG: Yeah.  You see, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm sure God does and is intrigued by the whole thing.
