Sooo I agreed to painting a three piece fabric wall cover thing for a friend and her new apartment and did not realize the difference between a large canvas and canvas-like fabric!  Stupid of me to think they would share alot of similarities though, right?  Anyways, after figuring out that she was leaving for college not August 30, but July 30 I was a little nervous.  I have not been home a solid week straight it feels like since summer began so I was anticipating a stretched schedule for finishing this piece!  However, I thankfully put in a good 5 hours or so a day and finished it all in 3 days - and it turned out great!  I've never painted something this large so the garage was my studio but after clicking on my Needtobreathe station on Pandora and turning on the fans I was focused on one task only.  It was definitely challenging, but I think I just opened up a new door of ideas with this new project- I liked the way it turned out and covered so much area and although it took a heck of alot of paint.. the fabric was tremendously cheaper than canvases that size! Let me know what you think!

3 Any thoughts? Comment!:

I will figure out how much time/supplies were used and get back to you! The fabric used was about $25 for 8x12 feet - so that wasn't bad at all! However, a lot more paint was used that normal and it took a while but I will definitely calculate it all and come up with something!!

Well I don't think I can handle one THAT big, definitely don't have that much space, although I wish I did. Let me know!
