I've been working a little more with painted projects lately, but just on personal/gift projects and not things for the shop. I enjoy projects like this when the weather allows and when I have time. Last week I showed a fun baby shower gift I made and here is a similar piece I made for my own studio.
I have a tall skinny piece of wall space next to my bathroom door that can be seen when you walk in my studio door from the outside. I've been looking for a piece to fit this area, but had no luck in stores. So I decided to take on the project myself! As usual, it took me forever to decide on artwork and a design! But once I did, it came together so nicely! Are you surprised I didn't choose pink :)
Like my baby shower piece, this one also had a "mistake" take place during the painting. As I was painting the outer edge white, I accidentally dripped white paint on top of one of the feathers! The blue paint is spray paint, but the white paint is acrylic paint. And to my surprise, I found that the excess paint wiped off with a damp cloth and didn't hurt the blue paint! So I decided to paint both of the feathers white as well!
Note to self though...next time use a different font that doesn't require so much weeding! Luckily I could sit and watch Netflix as I took all those tiny pieces of tape off :)
Great idea Edi, and it turned out fabulous! Especially with the white feathers :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! And I love that you take the time to make things for yourself, when I imagine you're always feeling the pressure to make for your shop!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Edi! The color scheme is beautiful with the design.
ReplyDeleteNothing like hanging something hand-crafted up on the wall. Beautiful piece. Now come make me some custom wall art ;) Your results look very professional.
ReplyDeleteNetflix and craft afternoons are the best. Isn't it great when accidents turn into something awesome?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! What a cheerful addition to your studio!
ReplyDeleteUgh, that is a lot of weeding! Fun end result, though. Glad the "oops" paint wiped off. =)
ReplyDeleteha! never heard it called weeding, but I guess it is! it looks awesome and what a fun way to mark the door to your studio
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about saving the time-consuming stuff for personal projects and gifts. I learned that lesson the hard way...maybe I'm still learning it haha. Love the blue! :)
