Today was a day of painting. I spent hours working with the brush and honing my brushstrokes to perfection. I prepared the surface in an exacting manner - sanding and washing. Then I meticulously taped the edges to prevent transfer of the paint and keep things "contained" in the wanted space only. The paint I picked up a few days ago, though this project had been in the working for months.
My daughters helped choose the exact "tone" of the project. My eldest even added her own touch with the brush. I have to admit that this particular medium is new to me. I've had it explained to me several times in the past, how to go about doing it and I always listened in awe and amazement. I watched videos. I read books. Now it was time to finally act.
Success is mine! My girls' room now has 2 purple-pink walls. It's very girly and they both LOVE it! It was both easier and harder than I had expected. I have done this once before, but the room was much smaller and I had help. I noticed that after finishing the first wall that I was EXHAUSTED! Who knew that wall painting took that much out of you?! But I was able to cross off a major project from my list and I can go to bed satisfied in a job well done.
I didn't completely slack off in the art department though. I have done some research on cat eyes (thank you internet) and to my surprise I have found that cat eyes are very diverse in shape. Not the eyeball of course, but the lids and the way they sit in the face. Now I get to try to narrow down what I'd like. However, I am also thinking that the picture itself might best be able to tell me what eyes it should have, so maybe we'll have a heart-to-heart instead.
