Another Odd Job

I love these jobs! They each pose a new set of challenges, preventing me from coasting, forcing me to dig deep into my resources on the premise that everything is figure-out-able. 

What’s back there?? A Very Large Project.

First, we worked out a design with Photoshop Junior.

Mrs. Customer wasn’t pleased with Mr. Customer’s choice of colors. (I remain entirely neutral on these things, because I am there simply to serve the customers’ wishes.)
Better. The rubber stamp look of the vines will be a freer, more natural look on the real project.
Remember overhead projectors? A friend found this in a dumpster and brought it to me. I’ve used it several times and lent it to a few friends too. (No need for everyone to have to dumpster dive.)
The laptop had images to help me draw the “growies”.

Next, paint.

  1. I enjoy watching your creative process. These kinds of projects are pretty precise so utilizing your dumpster dive find is brilliant! (Overhead projectors don’t seem that archaic to me. Guess I’m officially O.L.D.)

    • Melinda, you may be OLD but I am OLDER. Thank you for checking in, and stay tuned!

  2. Ah, overhead projectors and transparencies! Our church had one exactly like yours built into the pulpit (the pastor would place the arm in a hole and the glass part was part of the top of the pulpit . . . if that makes sense). Once when we had a visiting pastor preach, he didn’t realize there was an overhead projector under the piece of carpet, and during an especially strong part of his message, he banged his fist on the pulpit. And cracked the glass!

    • Sharon, I remember when fancy churches had built in projectors.Too funny about the visiting pastor!
