take a good look at this artwork…what do you think it is?

8 explosive art

what you are seeing is the work of visual artist rosemarie fiore, who creates collage-like images by exploding and containing live fireworks to get these wild bursts of saturated color.

mural mural on the wall

 mural mural on the wall

this might be one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen.

inspired by a painting they found on ebay and paint by numbers artwork, scott and cheryl white turned their blank wall into mural art.  to do this they made a color transparency of the painting, and using a projector, traced the image onto the wall with pencil.  they then created a chart of all the colors and assigned them numbers, and got to work painting! it took them eight months to complete this masterpiece but imagine how much fun you’d have doing it! read more to see some awesome photos of the white’s wall before and after.

    I got to do this in school, when I had my design chosen to be painted as a mural… I sketched it onto acetate, projected it, traced it and painted it! Such a fun job to do! (as long as you have a great playlist to paint to!)

i was looking around online last week for instructions on tie-dying easter eggs- as in this kind of tie-dye:

instead i found this.  i’ve never seen this before… apparently silk ties have another purpose- they can be used to create amazingly beautiful easter eggs! i found a great tutorial on our best bites that walks you through the process.

    boo hoo. I tried this, even followed the directions (shocking)
    my egg did not come out strong and clear like the ones in the pictures.
    I wonder what the variables are and how consistant the results are?
    I did make a different egg, continuing to make things out of catalogue pages.

    I like the idea of the dye transfer, but it looks like the process needs some study. Thanks for sharing & inspiring!
