Post-it Note Explanation I had a dream
Where the stage was star-lit
And the carpet was red.

The theater was almost empty,
There were only three of us.
You and I both sat in the middle section
Like we had been lovers for years.
It was by coincidence we were both there.

You had an artist sketchpad in your lap,
And a 4H pencil in your right hand.
You would glance at me occasionally,
Olivine-brown eyes hidden behind glasses,
And scribble something down on the paper.
You stopped only once to take a sip
From your brushed chrome travelers mug of
Expensive, big-shot coffee.

You were back from College.

I sat with one seat between us,
My hopes as frayed as th
Graduation We stood outside on the hot asphalt,
The sun was suspended low on fishing line;
Made from papier-mâché and lit from the inside.
Cardboard cutouts of hills lined the sky,
With trees painted on in faded green acrylics.
It was early morning and our eyes were clouded;
Vision impaired by weather and emotions.
Your polyester shirt had one button undone,
Every feeling you ever hid from me
Spilled out from it onto the street.

Well, I hope this is useful.

Some people keep asking how I do it,
It's really not that hard,
But it's a lot of fun :)


Finished Wallpaper: [link]


If there's any spelling errors don't point them out, I'll find them myself later and fix them. I worked on this and the wallpaper made for the tutorial for about 7 hours; so I hope it was worth it.



Comments/favs are greatly appreciated.
