She didn't want to write this so we're just going to talk. Ok?
Aimee: NO . I thought it would turn out terrible.
GP: Do you think you are a creative person?
Aimee: No. Not at all.
GP: Do you feel more creative now that you have finished it and it turned out awesome?
Aimee: Yes, lots more creative. Just being in your household, gives me a creative vibe. I painted the big mirror, my own piece of art, I helped you spray paint the table, AND I painted shelves for the bathroom.
GP: Do you have any other projects in mind?
Aimee: Well, I really need some curtains for my window so I guess that will be my next project.
GP: Awesome! I have lots of fabric that you could choose from to make your own. You know how to use a sewing machine right?
Aimee: Yes I know how to use a sewing machine... duh.
Anyways, back to Aimee's artwork
she made this really cool picture for her wall
She brought with her the sole surviving glass, from a set of 6, that made it through junior college. She loves the pattern so much she decided to use it as her inspiration for a painting in her room.
So, this is how she did it. She drew out her design using a thumb tack and a string tied to a pencil. She used 4 canvases that were 16" by 20".
We debated on what colors to paint it, Here's our test run.
As you can see, the purple background just makes all the colors pop.
So, the next step was to paint the background.
Then she added in the other colors, and ta-da! it's done!
here it is on the wall. she hung it up by using thumbtacks in the top corners of each canvas.
