My latest project.

This project was inspired by a cohort of mine. I was browsing through her pictures on Facebook and I saw a really creative project. I liked it so much that I thought I would try the same thing. I made a couple of changes because I wanted it to fit my theme and I added some paint. 

Anyways, here is my latest project:
The boarder I did a wet blend of purple and orange and for the rectangles in the middle I took paint swatches from Wal-mart. After the paint was applied I sprayed some water on it and then dabbed the extra water off with a towel so it gave it a pretty cool effect.  

I put this painting above my curtains in the middle of of the crayon and puzzle project.

Cutting out the swatches and painting took about an hour and a half to make. It was a pretty cheap project, about $12 (that's how much the frame was).

I think think after this I need to do one more painting for the living room. I'm thinking about taking down the crayon one and putting it in our bed room. The color scheme is better in there. Plus, the rainbow really clashes with the purple and orange theme we have going on.

Maybe I'll try my hand at splatter paint. I'm not sure though...We'll see what happens.
