Now to the fun stuff! I thought it might be a good time to share some projects that I've been working on... like the faux-rarrium I finished since my last post. I'm very happy with how it turned out... but now I want to go even bigger!
The one I made has a removable dome that makes me very happy... but I might have to make do without it if I do end up going bigger. The trees are made of real twigs and wool (the grass is also wool).
On a different note, I've been really excited about Ed Roth's kit for stenciling your home, Stencil 101 Decor. Of course, as a renter with anti-paint landlords, I've had to rack my brains for a way to actually use the stencils provided. I finally came up with the idea to stencil my sliding glass doors with the quatrefoil stencil... but instead of paint I used Crayola Washable Window Crayons. The final look isn't nearly as clean as what you would get with spray paint, but spray paint doesn't wipe off with a sponge either. Next time I might go for the washable window markers, also by crayola and available at Michael's. Next up on my to-do list: multi layer paintings in shadow boxes... wish me luck!
