Thursday Thirteen #33

9 November 2006 by kristarella

Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen of my favourite “Design is…” wallpapers.
From the Flicker Designer Wallpaper Pool

1. clipartThis was one of the first ones I saw and I think it’s still one of the better ones.

2. Clever and sooo true! patience

3. The original! line up

4. I like the ones that rip off the original! not lining up

5. messy

6. beta

7. n'est pasI have an emotional connection to this phrase. I once entered a photography competition, one of my entries had this “Ceci n’est pas…” idea and the judge’s response was “I don’t know French.” Apparently she was a craftist, not an artist.

8. I love tea and biscuits! tea and biscuits

9. geek

10. continuity

11. in

12. art

13. focus

I had about twice as many marked as favourites, but I can’t list them all. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Great idea for a TT! I never would have thought to feature this sort of stuff. I’m inspired to find some favorites of my own, as well as potentially put my thoughts down myself!

    Thanks!

    thanks for visiting my blog
    i have been reading your blog and I think you have to decide why you blog
    some people do it to get readers and that is good
    some do it as an outlet – I write because I like to – to me readers are cool but I think I would write regardless I just enjoy doing it. I dont think ive ever had 20 readers a day but thats ok with me ๐Ÿ™‚

      It’s true, I never started blogging to have readers, once you have them you just tend to like them.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.

A little book I made from Bunnings paint sample ca A little book I made from Bunnings paint sample cards. Itโ€™s going to be for mini paintings and collages. Sometimes itโ€™s nice to start with a colour rather than a blank white page!
