For the past few weeks I have been a paper layering artist. I have been designing and painting papers with color, texture, shapes, and light. I can’t believe how much I have learned from this project.
Like most paper layering artists, I’ve used a lot of paper to work on this project, and have even layered it into a larger piece of fabric. It really is a labor of love, and it is a pleasure to create with.
paper layering is simple. You lay down a pattern of paper on a flat surface, and then press some kind of foam into it to adhere it. When you want to change the pattern or just change the color, you simply lift the foam. When you do a pattern change, you simply lift the foam and the pattern will change back to the previous pattern.
I think I am most excited to see what people do with paper layering. If it’s still around for a while, I might do an instructional video in which I show you how to do it, but I doubt I will. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them.
It’s really easy to layer the wrong thing in new construction homes. You simply lift the wrong thing and find yourself covered in paint that’s been sitting on your counters for a week and a half.
Its funny because painting our new houses is one of the things that seems to have homeowners pretty stumped. I think it is because painting your home is one of those things if you get wrong, you can’t really hide it.
Painting your walls and ceilings and floors is a pretty basic thing… and even though it’s a pretty basic thing, it can be tricky. I think the hardest part will be not knowing which paint to use for what. I think the hardest part is knowing when to use it and when to be careful with the right thing.
While the amount of decisions that a new homeowner has to make is pretty daunting, the biggest decision will be the color that they use in new construction, if they do paint at all. It is one of the biggest decisions that a homeowner has to make. Many people are painting their new homes with bright colors, but they don’t realize how much that can impact their home’s interior decor. Painting bright colors can make things appear brighter and warmer. They can make ceilings look higher.
While painting, you should make sure to use oil-based colors. It is one of the best ways to make an interior bright and colorful. It does not take much oil to cover the surface of a home and it is cheap and plentiful. Oil is good for both interior and exterior paint. It also helps keep a house from looking “fuzzy” and gives it a more modern, sleek look.
Many people think that painting over their walls will make them look like they have a crazy amount of paint on their walls that they are just not using. It will make you feel better, but you still need to be careful. A little oil can make a room feel brighter, so be sure to get rid of any excess dust. Keep your walls free of holes, cracks, and crevices so you don’t look like you have more paint than you really do.
