I suspected I would start making things when I got on Arkansas time. Out of necessity, I made some decorative art.
I followed this DIY for this one.
I'm really happy with it because it works no matter which way the canvas is turned and your eye keeps moving. And there's glitter. Ikind-of totally free-handed the shapes, so I could continue to clean it up. It looks good in photos.
Next project: I needed to cover this big column and I love this Marimekko pattern, but I don't live down the street from a Marimekko store anymore, and sometimes I'm impatient and didn't want to order the fabric online and then make a stretch canvas, so... This was much cheaper anyway.
I read that the artist made the shapes to look like chunky cut-out circles so I used masking tape to make a similar effect and try to have sharp edges.
I just used acrylic paint for both of these. I never felt like I had the time or space to do things like this in NYC.
