Off with the head....

Been dreaming over this colour palette for a few month.

Finally decided that it is to be the new wall color for the kids playroom

I wanted something girlie (coz technically it is more the twins playroom than Ryan)

but I did not want the traditional pink/purple combo... 

So last week, we went to the paint store to get this gorgeous mint paint called "Tinkerbell"

How fitting, huh?

Since it is just a tiny room, I left hubby to his own devices and decided to venture into a new project that I've been meaning to do as a part of the playroom deco:  Head Silhouette

 In my case I needed 3 20cmx20cm canvas to start which I spray painted white with spray paint.

Let them dry for a few hours and make sure that the newspaper did not stick to the wet paint 

(which totally happen to me :p) 

 There's several way to get the head silhouette

1. Draw the profile free hand & fill in the blanks with the colour of your choice. Traditionally silhouette are black in colour, but feel free to change it up (my chosen method of the day); or

2. Take a side profile pic of your child/ own head, blow it up and "trace" the profile on a piece of paper ; or

3. Print the profile off the internet and stick it on a canvas or for an easier and cleaner method put it in a frame :p

Once the silhouette are painted on the canvas, wait for it to dry and later spray the gloss paint on the canvas to get the shiny/gloss up effect. Depending on how efficient you are, the whole process would probably take  around 3 hours (taking into consideration the "drying period"). 

Lo and behold a head silhouette of my children : Iman, Ryan and Ranya. Anyway though the twins looked more grown up than Ryan, I'm very happy with my handiwork :)

Will post the picture of the completed playroom once I'm done with it. 

Toodles, have a great weekend everyone and happy trying...
