Comment on Brushes and things by JessicaMDouglas
I feel for you. I hate having someone else clean up my art projects/messes.
OH and Jess, speaking of watercolors... I would like to get you some M. Graham paints for Christmas (I hate to spoil the surprise factor), but I don't know what colors you already have
Help me out?

Seriously? Hooker's green??? lmao. I never associated green with hookers. It doesn't make me think of pleasant things...
bought it for the name, kept it for the fantastic, gangrenous color.
"gangrenous" yep, that's closer to what I was thinking 
I couldn't think of an std that involved this particular shade of green so.. gangrenous. yep.
here's some useless trivia! Sir william Jackson Hooker was a plant biologist in the 18th century and he went about the world "discovering" all sorts of plants. I think that shade of green is named after him because of all the green stuff he brought back to England. This is just a theory and I have nothing to back it up with. cheers!
lol wrong william hooker. The color was named for william hooker but he was a botanical artist in the 1700's-1800's. Ah here's what was in one of my ooold art history books:
William Hooker was a British botanical artist, particularly esteemed for his depictions of fruit, who gave his name to the paint color Hooker’s Green. He served as the official artist to the Horticultural Society of London from 1812 to 1820 and regularly illustrated their Transactions. After studying botanical illustration with Francis Bauer, he co-published the botanical periodical Paradisus Londinensis with R.A. Salisbury from 1805 to 1808. Hooker engraved the drawings of James Forbes for Oriental Memoirs (1813-15). He was no relation to his contemporary Sir William Jackson Hooker, a famous botanist who was director of Kew Gardens.
It's kind of ironic that two men around the same time period had.. the same name and the same love of botany. Here's another site that has some information on him (it's an antique dealer's site, it's really quite hard to find information on HIM and not the Kew director): [link] it has both the Sir william and then below it, his name.

LMOA!!!
lol Thoughts about their possible taste temped me too... but I have yet to give in... too expensive to eat 
probably a smart idea. Some colors are toxic: Alizarin Crimson for example. It would be a "sweet" way to die though
hey sarah. Watch this: [link]
I love those things 
It would be fun to be in one.
