Art class

The basement is slowly progressing but has now left me with big bare, bland walls. I frequently daydream about all the pretty things I could put on them, but somehow a giant piece of grand original artwork never seems to be in my budget. So instead I make my own little concoctions and call them art (see the afro goose prior.) I stole the idea for this project from this creative lady.



I basically did the same process as she did, only I didn't have floorboards so I got a 4x4ft piece of birch from Lowe's and stained it. I also didn't have a projector (who in the world has those nowdays?) so my design was limited to what I could draw freehand. The end result turned out better than I thought it would though, and now I have a giant piece of art above my sassy retro couch. Maybe I should sign it and then I can really claim it as an art piece.
