Are your walls hung?

So, one of my husband's biggest gripes about marrying an artist is that our walls are always bare. Whoops. In our old house, we literally had huge paintings on the floor lying against the wall for storage, but nothing on the wall hanging! He has been gone on an business trip, so I took the liberty of transforming one normally blah wall into something fab! All it took was six Mixers and a couple of frames. A huge blank wall has been turned into something fun and funky :). And yes, my wall is a distinct shade of spa green/mint ice cream. Our apartment came furnished, and 1 gallon of paint costs $80!

Anyways, here are the pics:

Fun with Photoshop

First of all, thank you so much to everyone that has entered the Giveaway! The response is just awesome.

Yesterday I put off some school work (I'm working on my MFA), and decided to have some fun with Photoshop. I call it productive punting. Stuff that needs to be done, but not the most productive thing you could be doing at that moment (like homework...)

In any case, I thought you all would really enjoy seeing how amazing the Mixers can look on a variety of different wall colors. This really made me happy! You can combine just about any of these in the same general hue and they'll look great in a ton of different rooms! It really brings a new definition to an art collection. Plus, if you are fickle or get tired of them, you can always get a new one or two and change the look completely!

Hi-ho, hi-ho

It's off to work I go! I thought I should include some pictures of what the process is to make my Mixers. This picture below is an example of how the paint is applied:

Although this looks like a royal mess, after I take a heat gun to it, the paintings turn out pretty cool. Plus, I'll add and take away some layers, depending on how t

hey turn out. It is amazing the different effects that you can get. I'm also going to try using a transformer to take the heat gun down to 110 volts. Right now, with using an Asian

plug, it is 220 volts, and I think it is making the heat gun super hot. Kind of like when you take a hairdryer abroad and it blows a lot hotter on the lower setting. Kind of crazy, eh? Anyways, here are two pictures of the finished product:
