good morning craftgrrl nation!
Oct. 20th, 2006 07:54 amSo, just to update on my updates this summer, The Great Furniture Painting '06 is FINALLY DONE. All of the furniture is now a lovely blue, the hardware is lovely and shiny. And yes, we started painting in August, but work and graduate school (not to mention the damn RAIN) got in the way. Mad props to my boyfriend Tony, who dragged the frame of my dresser out on my patio Wednesday night and slapped the last two coats of paint on.
I'll post pictures later on today when I have time to take them.
So now that my clothes are safely in my lovely dresser, and I can finally see my floor *gasp!*, it struck me that my walls look.... dreadfully naked. We have a ton of blue paint left over, and what I'd really like to do on one wall is to do a painting like what is in the Project Runway season three house. I couldn't find any screen caps with that wall art in the background so here goes with my description...
It's a painting split up onto four canvases...white canvas with one color, and it's usually some kind of neat branchy looking floral design. It looks like something that you could do with the right kind of stencil, which is great cause I can't draw. Does anyone know where I could find a stencil that would create that effect?
Thanks for your help in advance!
