Mural Painting--follow-up

[Catherine M. Taylor]

Since several people have e-mailed me asking how I did it, I
thought I'd post. Easiest thing I ever did, actually....I picked up the
phone and hired someone!!! *grin* But the way THEY did it was to draw the
whole picture on the wall very lightly with pencil. Free-hand, I might
add. I was impressed!! And then they used paint *markers* to color it
in. I don't know the name or anything of the markers, but I can find out
easily enough if anyone needs me to. The markers worked great for what
they were doing, alot better than brushes since they needed precise lines.
I wish I had a way to show everyone how well it turned out, it's beautiful
with the border and curtains and bedding. It took them (two people) about
20 hours total to do the whole thing. They drew it on the wall using only
an old book with the 100 Aker wood in it and one of my videos on pause.
Talented people!!! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
