#DropCloths
I'll get the dropcloths.

I've been working on some paintings involving layers of paper cutouts and stencils and recently I've been enjoying the resultant dropcloths:

They had those dropcloths ready

ok just cover the exhibit with one of those black velvet dropcloths until you're ready!!

And here's some examples of the layered pieces whose dropcloths got me started here. These take way longer and the aesthetic decisions are much more labored

I spray-painted a thrifted chair last week and brought it to my office this morning.

In other news, I learned yesterday when the leaves were raked off our patio that leaf piles are NOT as effective as dropcloths. 🤣

Everything is covered in dropcloths because we’ve had a bunch of her dog friends over.

Happy #Caturday - when will this madness be over?

A new kind of backrooms but the dropcloths keep moving around when you're not looking.

And I think "Dropcloths From An Abattoir" would be a good album title.

4. Use lightblocking curtains to reduce the amount of heat coming in from sunlight. In lieu of these, canvas dropcloths and duct tape from a hardware store for under $20 will do instead.

5. Be sure to include electrolytes in your hydration plan to avoid hyponatremia from excessive sweat.

Lowe's heavy cotton dropcloths...get softer with each wash. Shrouded my king bed when Josie used to hop up to sleep with me.

We've amassed quite a collection of old sheets, blankets, and tablecloths over the years that, in their retirement, have become both painting dropcloths & blankies for wee babes in unpredictable April weather 🌱 #localonly #veggiegardening #smallfarmlife #frostwarning #friggincold

He painted something on his balcony, paint dripped through because he’s apparently not familiar with dropcloths and it dried there. Then when he left the freshly painted thing outside in the rain, it got all over my patio.

“Unveil the band, Vulnavia!”

I love everything about this sequel.

Some raising of the Spinosaurus shots from last May. What a fun day! #FossilFriday

The sets are hilarious: the stages are covered in what look like high school theater dropcloths stained with spraypaint and the walls are strung with all these brightly colored sheets. Very dorm-y.

I use different colors for different passes. Red gets used the most, and first printed copies end up looking like dropcloths from an abattoir.

Same, and everything that can't be fixed gets deconstructed. Clothes that are past even gardening get buttons removed then go in the rag bag. I salvaged all the toggles, guy ropes etc from a broken tent then cut it up as dropcloths. All random metal bits go in the metal recycling pile.

The poor baby! When our dog gets a stomach bug, we put down dropcloths at night. Otherwise we wake up every time we hear him move 😂

Dropcloths are your friend?

Ooh thanks Kelsy! I went for dropcloths/tarps as the thought of trying to do anything else with that type of fabric was very daunting, but I will have a browse for ideas 😎
