The redecoration of "The Room" continues - 6 months after it was stripped bare and repainted. Of course I'm talking about the Kyd's room. As ususal, intentions are honorable, but the execution is lacking. However, some months ago, Kyd was inspired and thought it would be cool to have a giant peace sign made out of hand prints on her wall. After some discussion and the desire to not EVER have to paint over handprints on the newly painted wall, I thought that we could possibly improvise. I quickly purchased two sets of canvas from Big Lots and even more quickly shoved it into the scrapbook/junk closet where it lived a not-so-lonely life with a million dollars worth of unused scrapbook supplies, forgotten about decorations from our old house and an assortment of other good-intentions and almost 22-year-old wedding memorabilia for several months. FINALLY, after several parties that had many friends and many hands and therefore many missed opportunities, we set out to try this little project on a spur of the moment gathering of three.
NEEDED: Four pieces of canvas, a variety of acrylic paints, pencil, string several different hand sizes. We used a pencil and a string to rough in the circle on the canvas. Of course we couldn't find the paint brushes so improvised by pouring the paint onto paper plates and squishing hands around in it. Then, the fun began and art ensued.
