THE wall.........continued

Completed floral designs, taped and ready to glaze.
"Linen" technique.
I used a more opaque glaze to minimize the boldness of the flowers, so it's a hint of designs and subtly added color to lighten all the brown we have EVERYWHERE. We tried to put a dark stain over it to bring out more texture, but it didn't work too well, the linen brush we used did not leave enough texture for the dark stain to sink into. So this is it.

I'm told wallpaper is coming back "in", so we now have our own "wallpaper" look.

I can't stand to waste paint, so with the extra glaze I had after scraping the container, I made a "growing" flower in the spot where we have been measuring the kid's height this year. I made it 4 inches taller than Bill. :) Who knows if we will be in this house long enough to see any of our boys pass up 6'8", or if our boys will even be that tall? But I went ahead and painted my little plant tall......just in case.
OK, that's all for my home project distractions. I think. I'm just going to finish the stained glass panel and focus on teaching my art classes. :)
