verbminxI would never, ever buy THIS, but I know people who would, and I have to admit that at one point I might have been one of them.*
Nonetheless, I thought those of you so inclined might prefer to be alerted to it as a crafting idea. Stencil it? Embroider it? Up to you, of course. One good thing here, aside from your money not going to Rick Santorum's career (hopefully) is being able to choose the kind of sheets you use - organic? high thread count? etc.
It's kind of similar to some ideas in some books I've been looking at lately. There's a wonderful book by Paige Gilchrist that came out a few years ago and is called Decorating Your First Apartment. One of the projects is a stencilled or transfer-printed sheer curtain hung behind a bed, with a dictionary definition page including "love" printed on it. It's hard to explain but it has great visual impact, especially for anyone who loves words and typefaces.
Also try Wall Words, although I have to say that I think many of their quotes are on the simpy side.
* On the other hand, despite my general resistance to buying from UO, I really like THIS LAMPSHADE... wish I could afford one or two of them.

Date: 2005-07-03 08:17 am (UTC)I have seen the Buddha shirt so many times, actually...
I used to have TONS of bumper stickers on my old car. I got the car when I was 16 and accumulated stickers. I just found a lot that I couldnt resist. I was putting them on even a couple years ago. But I'm really shy so it freaked me out when people noticed my stickers. I was afraid weird scary people would talk to me or get mad. People would walk by and glare at them. blahaha.
Probably the funniest thing was once one of my stickers was stolen. It said "Real men wear makeup" and someone tore it off. I just had this mental image of someone getting so angry and saying "NO THEY DONT!!" and ripping it off. Like someone who is against cross dressing. hehehe.
Right now I just have a small car sticker that has the Mystery Science Theater logo. i dont plan to add anymore.
