Yes the cell phone picture sucks, but this is the BEFORE picture.... I think it can suck. My room was red and brown, white black and white photos. Hectic, busy, dark, and cluttered. The collage above my bed I made back in high school. I was just tired of it.
My room has one window. ONE! It was so dark in there and the paint color did not help. I had to brighten it up.
This tree I hand sketched from looking at other tree pictures. I wanted it to seem like wind may be going through it.
I got so into the painting I forgot to take more in between pictures. Here the petals are already on the tree.
I used these as my stencils. This is plexi-glass from those cheap poster frames. I was lucky that my mom had the random tool of a stencil cutter. Really? I don't think it has ever been used before. Well good luck for me. I didn't have to hand draw all those petals. I still sucked at the stenciling part though. It required a second coat and touch-ups.
It is done!!!! My bed was moved to the other wall. The branches go right over my bed and petals blow onto the adjacent wall, also above my bed. I am in love! I have other things to get done, like my bed and window treatments. But for now I am happy!
