Art Installation

The newly-revealed 1940's linoleum on the wall of the dining room has provided everyone at Chez Headley, and our varied guests, with great enjoyment. Since the linoleum will eventually be torn down, we decided to use it as a large, green canvas for our Sharpies.

The Headleys. Drawn to scale.














Fragmentary astronaut, turtle, and a dream of bacon and eggs.














Lena reacting to the Turtle, man with weights, martini glass, and large dark blob.














Rough map of the US (note how large Pennsylvania is), coffee cup, Bret's graffiti tag, assorted flowers, and some dude's head.














Fraktur nonsense, Bret's tag again, and 80's band graffiti.














You should come visit. There is still more wall-canvas available.

I think I understand why they previous owners covered up the pea green linoleum. It would be difficult to eat in a dinning room surrounded it. The sharpie sketches certainly add interest.

A childhood fantasy fulfilled - "go ahead, darling,write on the walls with markers. It's OK!" Perhaps you should salvage the wall covering for when you are all rich and famous?

I think my favorite is Lena reacting to the Turtle, man with weights, martini glass, and large dark blob. For an undesired turtle, the turtle seems to have made its way into the majority of the art work.

I love Bret Em and pets are "drawn to scale!". So glad I can keep up with your doings via this fun little blog! Give the Headley's a big hug from me, and make them give one back to you from me :) xoxo
