Hi everyone!!
I wanted to paint a huge picture on my wall. I did it before a
few years ago and it was nice, until I got sick of it and painted over
it a year or two later! But I'm doing it again! and I was wondering if
any of you had any suggestions, pictures, what not.. :\ I'm not very
creative you see.. I suppossedly have "talent" but no right side of my
brain :P

Anyways. I was interested in a victorian style painting (like
those faries) if you know what I mean :\ ideas? pictures? anyone?

-T.A.

I'll take pictures when I finish painting it! but that won't be for
awhile :P

A scene from Tim burton's Nightmare Before Christmas is what I'm doing for my
room. If that helps any?
Also, My friend Bizzie painted hers not too long ago. The east wall was a
rising sun and it faded into the middle of her ceiling into night and then the
west wall was a full moon, stars and such...It's hard to really explain on
here, BUT I can assure you it looked adorable. Especially when she painted the
stars in with glo-in-the-dark paint.

I wanna do that. Was it wall paint or model paint? Spray or brush on kind?
Where did she get it? And how much did it cost? I've wanted to paint GitD stars
on my walls forever now but can't find paint.

Try www.terrorbydesign.com. They sell this GITD powder that you mix with
clear varnish (I got the clear varnish at Micheal's), and it works
beautifully. A little of it goes a long way, too, unlike pre-mixed GITD
paints I've tried. I have some pics posted in the AGF Gothic Decorating
club on Yahoo, if anyone is curious. I did phosphorescent leaves around
the front door and a fairy with glowy wings and stars around her.

She used acrylics on her wall and went to MIchaels and picked up a tube of
glo-in-the-dark acrylic wall paint. It's rather inexpensive maybe 5.00 a tube
here in Indiana...
Michael's is a craft store, mayhaps a similar craft store in your town would
carry it?

I would really like to see them.. but can't find them. I can't find your
name/e-mail address as someone who made a post there. I can't find a subject
heading that sounds like it has GitD pictures of paintings.. and it I can't
look at the photo section b/c when I try to join as a member it won't send me
the e-mail!!! Can you tell me how to find them or e-mail them to me? And
remember to 'drpmeplz'.
