Koi pond window of awesome and pretty..

[kinderegg88.livejournal.com]

For those of you who commented on my previous post, thanks! We decided to go with acrylics, since we wanted the window to last all year. So, after a trip to Hobby Lobby to buy paint and brushes, we got to work yesterday.

And, since I uploaded pictures for my LJ friends and my Facebook, I figured I'd share them here as well.



My suitemate's transferring the fish to the window via dry erase marker. It worked really well.


Our gridded picture and the bloody gel hand prints [courtesy of Walgreen's] on the other window.


Very intent.


Half-finished fishies!


Epic in-progress shot.


Outside view. Not quite as cool as it is on the inside, but people still think it's neat.




My favourite fish is the white one with the pink splotch. I think he's ADORABLE. ♥


We's fishies, too!


To give you an idea of the scale. That, and I like this picture. :P


Nighttime fishies.


Finished nighttime fishies.


I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out, especially considering that [a] I hate paints, and [b] the rest of us aren't artistic in the least. There are still a few things I'm probably going to fix later just 'cause they drive me nuts [like the orange fish which is missing a fin], but on the whole I like it. It also makes us the coolest suite on campus, bahaha.
