Ok, so with my vacation from the day job, I've had some extra time to get up there and start on the decorating of my wall.
First I had to get rid of all those little bleed outs as they were seriously driving me up the 'wall' LOL.
My husband stuck his head in saying I had way more patience than him when he saw I was using a number 2 Filbert brush to tackle the little nemesis of mine. Took me over an hour.
Then I started with my Cherry Blossom branch.
Now I love painting, I find it relaxing. But I also like to have some sort of a plan.
This plan was by the seat of my pants LOL.
I couldn't find a dang cherry blossom stencil anywhere but online and that ticked me off.
I went to several 'fabric and hobby' stores in my area and let me tell you, I was highly DISAPPOINTED with the selection.
Their 'stencil' aisle contained paint, brushes and three kinds of alphabet stencils with a filigree stencil tossed in for good measure I guess.
So I was left with free handing.
Something I have not done in ... ohhhh .... 15 years or so.
So don't be too judgmental, even I know I have to get back up on the ladder today and touch up and re-position my branch and thin it out at the end a bit better.
Hey, that's the fun of it right LOL.
I'm even thinking of taking that blossom off at the end. I'm not liking the way it came out.
Maybe remove it and from there have blossoms floating like the wind is carrying them away down the rest of the wall.
I still need to add some final touches to the blossoms to make them pop a bit more.
So there you have it peeps. Stage 4 of the wall.
Now all I have to do is get Hubs to start on building me my whiteboard, so I can have my plot wall
