Room Decorations

   I guess it has been indeed a very long time. I don't know where to start my apologies with to my followers. I've been busy and i apologize for every bit of it since last year for keeping you wait. During the time got me thinking should i do something different to my blog? In addition the photos do need to be better quality. The layout i've used needs to be different as well i thought. I have decided that i need something different for this blog and it would be on its way once i figure things out.

  Also i did some room decorations that would help you figure out something small and creative for your space. With few little things I've made this space much more colorful. Check it out, comment if you like & post your creativity if you want to share on the comments!

 This is a wall art as you see. I wanted to do something different like a wallpaper instead of my usual paintings i do. Also this is purely done from watercolors. Lets me give you a quick tutorial on this.

What you need :
1) Watercolors or wall paint or anything you prefer!
2) Paint brush, the thicker the easier
3) A compass & pencil
4) Long Ruler

How to:
1) Measure where you start from at the corner of the wall. Since i wanted this clear i took measurements from like 2 inches at least from the top corner and 1 and a half from the sides. Mark the two places & keep your compass in a middle so the two marks can cover a full circle and draw it as clear as you can see.
ps-Don't make it very dark as you can't erase pencil marks from walls that easily.

2) Get watercolors, mix them up and create shades, bright bright shades.. perhaps green with some blue? pink with some yellow? or red with some orange. Try! & Paint the circles.

If you wish to create it like an exact wallpaper i suggest to do some half circles at the corners.

This isn't as hard as it looks but this is actually very pretty once its on the wall. Let me take you through my experience of creating this. :)

What you need:
1)  Huge art paper or any paper. You can even try wrapping paper the back of it or the front. You choice. I had art paper with me.
2) Pair of scissors or knife
3) Pencil or pen

How to:
1) Art of bending. It is not art school. You obviously can do this since you were 10 years old. Bend Bend Bend till its small. This art paper is huge as a wrapping paper. (Folded it would come into four sizes of a A4 sheet?)

2) Take your pen or pencil and draw a design on one side of it right in the middle.
OK so if you cannot bend and its very thick to cut what i did was i left it without folding almost close to ending and i then drew the same design in a row. but i only did that much in full design, no halves.

3) Now cut it with the scissors. Make sure though there is an art to cutting this. I don't know if you figured this out when you were little but do this wrong and your design won't turn out the same.
Let me guide you.
If you do this with knife then you know exactly how its supposed to come because its clean and expected outcome will be same. If you cut with the scissor its the same, just though you probably can't make a hole with the thickness of the paper unless you burn a hole? The thought did come to my mind i didn't try though but be my guest!
When your cutting i want you to leave a space in between. Its better if you zoom in to the image and see that you find the the ends of the diamonds are glued together. Why? Because i cut them with that space left. Now you probably didn't draw the design with this in mind like you're going to color the in between line like a kid. So do as i say maybe go back and draw or cut it with patience and keep that space or else parts will be torn.

4) Almost everything isn't perfect now is it? When i did mine, some diamonds weren't glued at all for the way I've cut. I mean who has patience? So paste a little tape at the back so you people think its actually glued and you've done a perfect job at it.

Not the best of my room decor but this gives my door edge a bright glow when i leave it open. My door is just brown and not that i don't enjoy looking at dark things but it's very dull honestly. The Taz drawing i did when i was in sixth grade was all that kept me alive. THIS though i haven't done from water colors. Usually we all have that moment where we wash our hands and we forget where we touch..water color not the best thing for wood now is it? I used the girls favorite! NAIL POLISH! Try it out, i just repeated the colors on and on and even if you get bored of this it's easy to send them away by your nail polish remover.

This i used it for the edges of my bed leaner. Some ornaments i had at home and they were just lying there. I used Multibond which is a glue you use for pasting stuff on wood. And this stays! It gave me company when i was in bed alone, sad and depressed all lonely sometimes. :D

My Favorite is this. Monsters. If you have an ugly mirror like mine and you're just jealous of all the girls having better ones why don't you DIY decorate it? These papers are like file separators. They came with the some files i bought off the store. Had cool colors so i used them since i don't enjoy using files. My mirror was a total bore no lie. At the back of the monsters to keep it staying up firm i taped some cardboard into a small stick and taped to the back of the monsters. I used a black marker pen to outline and draw the monsters features. The black outline did a great job.

Let me know what you think :)

Do yours & Enjoy! x
With Love,
Kavi Sam.
