Laughing Over Spilled Milk, part THREE

One moment I'm posting my Laughing Over Spilled Milk series....and the next moment I spill my entire glass of red wine all over my carpet. This happened just over an hour ago (6:19 pm PST) and I firmly believe a trickster is somehow involved. Red wine is exceedingly difficult to clean out of light carpets. I hope my landlords aren't reading this. gulp.

Oh well, it didn't happen in vain. I transformed it into a random work of art and will soon paint this in oils onto a canvas. Medium: Argentine malbec on rented beige carpet, digital paint.

I suggest you gift your landlords with the painting. ;)

A trickster? Nah...that was the Etiquette Ghost. He got mad at you for using an improper glass!

but it's a wine glass I brought back from Italy! A small town in Italy. Dogs were running freely and elderly men were propped against sun drenched walls playing dominoes with their friends.

Oh well, I am a very improper young lady.

xoox

Salt is v good for drawing out red wine stains. Whatever you do don't use any hot water, it will 'fix' the stain --cold only.

By the way, your good pal Gilmore would probably say the tragedy lies in the waste of wine, not in the stained carpet :D

Bit too hot over here in South Australia for RW at present, about 106 in your scale here today

Thanks for all your fabulous work, Miss 14, you are one of the highlights of my day

it looks like a shot glass! or what you use for a shot of fernet-branca ... god ...
yes ... trickster attending to biz in your home. no doubt!

and erotica by anais nin? 14 ... you naughty girl! excellent literary taste, i must say.

May seem stupid, but try dabbing white wine on the red wine spill. I don't know why it works, but it has and it may help. Anyways, I like your art so I hope the landlords are nice.

Goddamn these drunken celeb artists, man! Somebody get 14 to Rehab now! Next thing you know, she's gonna be slashing canvasses or squeezing whole tubes of paints down the drain!

[Jenn F.]

You're right, 14... not all "proper" wine glasses have stems.

I think it was that invisible inspiration imp.

[Shelly]

Hydogen peroxide, right on the stain, blot, blot blot!!!!
If I know anything It's stain removal!!!
p.s.
More Polage.

[Der Bruno Stroszek]

Yes, I was just going to say, nice reading material. Clearly, 14, you're a menace to sober society and need to be banned from posting any more Amy Winehouse pieces until you've completed your twelve steps. ;)

[TheReallyJamesBond]

The little scamp gremlins just wanted to enjoy & share in the artistic shananigans!

[Demon Kitty]

Shelly is right darlin'. I can't tell you how many motherfucking glasses of red have gone all over the fucking carpet.

Hydrogen peroxide works like a charm. After that, I get out my steam cleaner, fill it with laundry detergent and go over it! You need to invest in a fucking steam cleaner if you love the darker varietals!

God, I am so fucking tired.

[Morrigan]

Darn fairies are at it again (at least that's what I blame my accidents on). You and I spill alike, I'm never satisfied with just one spill. I love the paintings though :)

[T]

I hope you didn't let it dry while you took the picture. Cold water, stat! And I 2nd hydrogen peroxide.

[Ariana]

Try pouring tonic water on it. It's worked for me in the past.

Thanks so much for the cleaning tips! I'm happy to report that I was able to get the stain out of the carpet, the walls, off my books, and off my scanner. Yowza, what a spill!

Your copy of "Delta of Venus" looks as old as mine! Got it in the late 70s thru the book club when I was still a teen.

This is a little late in the game, but hairspray works wonders for getting out red wine stains. My husband spilled some red wine on our white couch a few years ago and he was almost in tears, and I pulled that little strange tidbit out of who knows where in my brain and applied it. You just spray hairspray on the stain (I had unscented, don't know if it matters) and the stain just vanishes!
