While I can barely express my unmitigated joy at being accepted into the business course I was interviewed for - well I can actually - Oh boy! I have unmitigated joy at being accepted... I have just spent the afternoon painting phoebe in practise for the stripes and I have found out that the really expensive painters tape I bought to mark out sections for painting different colours does not do its job in preventing paint bleeding. How then, am I going to get these stripes on the wall?
My brother is coming over later to help me measure them out and I was just on the phone to him in despair over this situation. He is the expert in all of these things and his response was to use masking tape, "but it might rip the paint off though". As if I'm going to allow that to happen with all of the blood, sweat and carnage that has gone into the room so far.
I have an emergency plan that I may need to engage. I have long been interested in getting an overhead projector to beam images onto the wall and then to paint them in. I have even created a series of chakra related images just for this purpose. Back when them room was going to heavy in pink and white I was wanting to complement this with a black and white wallpaper pattern. I was lucky enough to find some at the local reclaimed rubbish facility that only needed to be coloured black and I would have exactly that. After three weeks of colouring it in, I had completed about one and a half metres and then promptly forgot about using this as backing for shelves.
Anyways - the pattern on this wall paper would work enalarged to wall size and painted pink. But I want stripes...Or stripes painted around the pattern...Definately...At least...
