“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“And a connection with, I believe, the same number of large colored squares or rectangles. Rather brilliant. The color red among others, and yellow.” It seems here that Jane referred to the purpose for which I bought the canvas—to paint on. Some of my recent work has been in the abstract vein, also, and incorporates squares, angles, etc., some of them in brilliant primary colors. Actually I have not painted any pictures on the specific batch of linen which furnished tonight’s envelope object; but I have painted on other canvas of a comparable texture, etc., and which was prepared in the same manner. Association thus could be at work. There could be other connections also.

(“With holes in it, or torn.” Now Seth gets more specific, and again this is excellent data. See page 281 for a copy of the object. Note that the top edge is frayed, appearing to be torn; actually this results from an unraveling after cutting. The cutting took place before the preshrinking. Again, note the holes spaced along the top edge of the object. These are tack holes spaced rather close together around each piece of canvas, because the linen exerts a strong pull when wet; it had to be securely fastened to the Masonite panels, until dry.
