A few days ago my mom and I went downtown around 7 am for coffee and since it was nice and cool we decided to take a tour of FREAK ALLEY a Mural project in Downtown Boise Idaho.
Here is a bunch of photos I took with my phone that morning.
The Theme is Freedom
These are a type of painting I did a while back, they are labor intensive but I love them, they are done with lines of puffy paint over a painted background to create a shiny yarn effect reminiscent of Mexican yarn art. They take a long time to do and you really have to work 5 or 6 at a time since the lines have to at least set up a bit before you can go on to lay down more.
One thing I would like to do is have people commission me to do small portraits like the one below
I need to stock up on canvas board and more puffy paint soon. Also they work best in a smaller format.
I decorated some slippers with glitter puffy paint to wear with my dress
Poe is in the pic, his eyes are dark gold and usually photograph like this
I also wanted some nice short torches and I thought classic tiki torches would look BLAH and not really fit the spring backyard theme so I found some glass cattail shaped torches in red and blue so I bought 2 blue and a red and painted one of the blues purple (our colors) with glass paint. The torches were $6 off so I saved nearly $20 on all 3.
after 3 weeks it will dry to the point where we dont have to worry about it coming off. After the Ceremony we will give them to Grandma to use in her yard.

Scanned the rest of the finished 8×8 loose leaf Art Journal pages finally, I will try to scan more as I go and not do them all at once again.
