So for this project, there has to be a little bit of a back story. At our old apartment, we hung all of the guitars around the room randomly, filling almost every wall. When we moved, Andrew decided to go ahead and do the same thing. Unfortunately, this room was much smaller and it never really sat right with me.
See what I mean? Kinda blah.. and didn't really fit well in the room with the piano and ridiculously large sofa.
SO... I had this amazing idea kinda pop into my head one day. I thought it would be cool to place them all together in one area in the corner, and create a fun, art piece. I layed out the guitars on the floor and came up with an arrangement I liked, and then traced them onto the wall.
I could have done regular outlines of the guitar shape, but decided to do something a bit more interesting.
Each guitar has it's own "personality". One is melting, one is on fire, one is boxy, the ukelele, my favorite, has some Hawaiian flair, and the others just have interested shapes.
I added the other art things I had- the melted record, the different notes with quotes on them and some other things.
I went with a pop of tangerine on a grey wall.. and black and white accessories/ pillows.
This actually ended up taking forever. I free handed all of the orange, then painted the grey, then had to do all of the outlines of the orange back with grey. It took about an entire weekend to get the lines really crisp and finished.
I think it turned out really neat! What do you think?
