Maria Robledo<\/a> sent this instagram of a blue tape fish her husband Holton Rower<\/a> made. Holton has long been “painting” with blue painter’s tape, most notably in his yearly clowning visits to Russia with Patch Adams<\/a> to cheer up children in hospitals and orphanages. It is an easy, effective way to transform the walls of dreary institutions.<\/p>\n

I first fell in love with blue tape art when I saw this abstract tape painting on Stork Loves Man<\/a>\u00a0years ago, followed by this visionary one done on a window<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The beauty of blue tape, of course, is that it makes for wonderful line drawings that are easily removed within a couple of months. Here’s one Holton did in a few seconds just before leaving my house after a visit. The bird was a sort of welcome blessing on my new space.<\/p>\n

After a while, the bird seemed a bit busy for the simple room and I needed a vision change. I photographed Holton’s painting so I could always spark a memory of it. Then I started stripping it away…until I got to this (which I left).<\/p>\n

Blue painter’s tape comes in a variety of widths and colors. I’m currently smitten with Blue Painter’s Tape in… green<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n
