Manager didn't see it till I had gone, she calls and says...."I absolutly LOVE IT!!!"

(Always nice to hear [Smile] )

She said ppl have been driving by and honking their horns...that's a first for me! lol [Smile]

That's so beautiful I may have to go out and honk my horn too! If that's what you can do when you're rusty, I can't wait to see your work after you warm up.

If only I was as rusty as you!! Nice Adrienne! I love it!

I have two questions, one of which I think I asked before!!

1. What brand of paints do you use for the colors? You use latex flat white for the background layer, right?

2. Did you approach them in an effort to get the job or did they find you?

I've been noticing some pretty generic looking splashes around here and have been considering trying to take this on myself. I'm just too chicken!!

Thanks..If you only knew how terrified I was .....

I had a bad case of non-confidence while doing that window...I had to keep telling myself, it's ok, you will do fine, this is easy.....

I have serious anxiety attacts almost everytime I have to do a window job...I don't know why...it just happens.

I approached them as Jackson had suggested their windows would be a good location for diplaying my work.

It's on one of the main streets here right where traffic has to stop for a light, so hopefully it will bring in some work.


Amy..I use a variety of paints, all waterbased acrylics and latexes.

White house paint for the base, assorted acrylics and Radiant brand flouresant temperas for the bright stuff.

A step by step is on my web site:
Splash step by step

If anyone is interested I can provide you with a kit containing paints, brushes and rollers and a printed step by step including design ideas to get you started.

Email me if you would like more info.

Thanks
A:)
