Mess project #3 - Drips and Splotches (Not Him Not Here)

Drips and splotches, coming right up! This was a rather soggy page of the Mess book, at least once the instructions were carried out. I carefully positioned the book near some stairs, with a rock to hold it open, and asked my flatmate to let fly with some stewed tea from my teapot from about 10 feet. Needless to say, the book's pretty wet. Aiming tea from 10 feet isn't the easiest thing we've ever done.

Image shows a spattered, dirty page, with text and images from other pages visible through the paper. Text reads "Drop some kind of coloured liquid (ink, tea, coffee) here from a good height (at least 5 feet)". Additional text at the bottom of the page reads "There is much beauty to be found in drips and splotches"
I confess, as time goes on, I'm less and less sure on where I can keep this book. It no longer belongs anywhere in a respectable home, and looks like it ought to be put in the doghouse. The entire book is wet and a little muddy from where it has been on the ground and poured tea on it from a height. It has oats falling out of it. How can it get muckier? I suppose it is called Mess for a reason...

I'm actually a little disappointed with this page. I was hoping for drips and splatters, but seem to have achieved soaking. Never mind, roll on next week!
