[Hivemind]-Lets all dance through the lily's barefoot...

Oh, the one word explanation. Hmmmmm, multifaceted. How's that for a word?

 

[Crothian]

that's good, now just explain how it fits

 

[orchid blossom]

I couldn't think of just one word, so I used a word that encompasses many different things. I'm weird like that.

 

[Crothian]

so, you did think of one word then?

 

[orchid blossom]

Eventually. I'd have said creative, but I seem to have lots of impulses with little talent.

 

[Crothian]

better then lots of talent with little impulses

 

[orchid blossom]

Hmmm, I suppose that's true. My latest try is floorcloths. Since you can use stamps, stencils, and geometric designs, you just need to be able to plan. No requirement to be a great painter.

 

[Crothian]

what are floorclothes?

 

[orchid blossom]

Floorcloths are canvas, double primed then painted with whatever design you like. They are hemmed and then varnished with several coats of polyurethane. They are then used just the same way you would a rug. You can make any size you like, room sized or sized for a throw rug. They are great for floors that aren't carpeted, and are very easy to clean. They were widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries before carpeting became affordable.

that's really cool...you any good?
