I know it can seem a bit daunting, especially using the dark chocolate brown paint, but I suggest doing a test run on a large poster board, propped against the wall, so you can get the hang of painting large branches. Any mistakes and techniques can be sorted out in the practice stage, then just go for it! Be different! Good luck!

We are in the throws of re modeling, converting 2 rooms into one. Making our feature wall apple green with chocolate brown carpet & curtains. The branches would look lovely BUT don't have an artists streak in me at all. Is there a secret to doing it or do you really have to be artistic and a steady hand both of which I lack.sama-samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757029201393494172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-71733807228303225492013-08-14T07:38:56.710+01:002013-08-14T07:38:56.710+01:00Thank you all so much for your kind words!

A few friends suggested that I venture into the mural business, but honestly, as with my other crafty endeavours, I always have this nagging voice in my head that reckons anyone could do this so why should I get paid for something I find so enjoyable? It's just squiggling paint on the wall...though I have painted fairies on walls for friends' girls...hope you're all feeling well and relaxing on holiday now!

My husband looked mildly concerned when he saw the first doodles on the yellow wall, but he has always said that I have a 'vision' for the end results that he just can't imagine, so he generally trusts me, though this was a leap of faith, I'm sure! I think he figured if he agreed to this then I would steer clear of pinks and girlie florals... ;) CxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148016735714521048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-91109008817258956822013-08-10T23:04:37.230+01:002013-08-10T23:04:37.230+01:00Just love that wall!Just love that wall!crazydazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360325378437047939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-36778843768472700912013-08-10T20:06:04.483+01:002013-08-10T20:06:04.483+01:00I love it.

You are so talented, you always manage to surprise me just a little more on each occasion. You need to start doing wall murials for a day job. So impressed!!
