I once lived in an apartment for two years without ever appropriately decorating. This is not right, as I like to look at things. Colorful things. Lots of them. It was another time, a rough time full of driving, driving and more driving. Some of it turned out to be worth it, other of it turned out not to be worth it. But such is life. We make choices.
I have been living in my current spot for about four and a half months. It is already more decorated than the place where I had lived for a couple of years. But, I am determined not to let this fall off the radar. I like to make stuff. I like to draw stuff. But, like before, time remains the issue. Time, I guess, is always the issue. Make some, or not.
So, I decided that today would be the day that I take up a bare spot on the wall with an image that would make me smile every time I looked at it. The official seal of the US Presidency. I uploaded the image to be rasterbated, then laminated the results. The trickiest part was figuring out how I was going to stick it together. I wanted this to be neat. The answer turned out to be double sided tape. And then there was the trip to the office supply store for an additional ink cartridge. Ah, the life of a crafting writer…always in need of ink.
And a project was born.
