    I was thinking of doing that for Hannahs room one day ... but I don't have a projector and I don't know that I could free hand something quite that big

    I got mine from craigslist for $20. I was going to rent one for the weekend, but it was $50.

    Great job, that's a lot of work, but it'll be there for year and years to come! Anyone who hasn't done a mural might not know how tedious it can be, but the results are worth it for sure!

    Death thought about it.

    Oh my gosh Kari, that is phenominal! You're so talented. Laura is sitting next to me and is saying Cat Hat, she loves the show and the books. It's really special. Clara will enjoy it for so many years to come.

    Tedious is a great word for it. None of it was super hard, but it was definitely time consuming. I was rarely by myself (except for the tracing), and only took an hour out of her room, in 10-15 minute breaks, each day. We lost power on Friday night, so all that was done on Friday was tracing and supply shopping. Saturday and Sunday were non-stop painting, with two to five people at a time! I'm already brainstorming for her other two walls.

    That is awesome!!
    I want a mural on this one huge wall we have at work. Everyone laughed at me when I said it. But I think it would be awesome! It's the perfect wall for it. But I have ZERO talent. Even with tracing. LOL

    I can't wait to see what you do on the other walls.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
