Big Progress On The Horizon

Progress has been sluggish within the studio this week, however I really feel like issues are about to begin occurring! My principal aim this weekend is to get the resin petri wall completed. I confirmed y’all my plan for this wall subsequent to my desk earlier this week (you can read the details here), however my unique plan was to make use of 5″ x 5″ gallery wrapped canvases. Properly, with a purpose to have sufficient for my artwork set up (it makes me really feel essential to name it an “artwork set up” 😀 ), the canvases would price me about $190.

I don’t suppose that’s a horrible value for one thing that’s going to have such an enormous, colourful impression within the room, however I additionally wasn’t fully offered on how the canvases regarded. They regarded a bit too thick for my style, so I went in quest of one thing else that may work. I actually needed to keep away from having to DIY 45 frames if I may.

And I believe that these are going to look nice! I’m going to color all of them white earlier than I mount the resin discs on them.

You’ll be able to see how good this thickness is. It’s about half the thickness of the wrapped canvases, however with the added thickness of the resin disc, I believe it’s excellent.

Right here’s a take a look at the 2 aspect by aspect. I additionally just like the cleaner look of the wooden over the not-so-perfect look of the canvas-wrapped corners.

So now that I’ve all the things I would like for that mission, my principal aim this weekend is to get that wall completed, which additionally consists of getting the trim (baseboards) caulked and painted.

But additionally, one other very thrilling bundle is arriving at present for the massive, clean wall, and I’m so enthusiastic about it! So I’m hoping that I could make some progress on that wall as properly.

For those who’ll bear in mind, I had our panorama design plan printed some time again in order that I may body it and cling it within the studio.

After I had that printed, I made a decision that I needed to have it reprinted to incorporate the plant key on the aspect. So the brand new design would appear like this…

However earlier than I may have it printed once more, a really type and beneficiant reader contacted me and mentioned that she may have it printed for me at her work, and she or he had the aptitude to print it actually huge! After all, that intrigued me, however I couldn’t consider the place to place a very huge print like that.

So it took some time, and some backwards and forwards electronic mail exchanges, however I lastly got here up with a plan. She had it printed 52″W x 78″H, and it’s arriving at present! I’m so unbelievably enthusiastic about it. I can’t wait to see it, after which I’ll want to determine find out how to mount it, body it, and cling it on the wall. However right here’s the general plan for the massive, clean wall now.

Due to the location of the outlet and the scale of the massive calendar, the panorama design will go on the left aspect of the wall. It’s the proper area for it. After which the calendar will go on the proper aspect. That may nonetheless go away loads of room for the TV (y’all satisfied me to maintain a TV within the plan for the wall), after which I’ll add some quite simple cabinets underneath the TV. I’ve three completely different concepts for the cabinets. They received’t actually be show cabinets like those within the breakfast room the place I’ve displayed colourful paintings. They’ll be extra utilitarian, however the finish end result shall be plenty of shade. However I’ll wait to share these particulars when it’s completed. I’m excited to see how a lot I can get accomplished this weekend!
