Rachel and I have been wanting to splatter paint something for a looooong time now. And finally we made it happen! :) Over the weekend (since it was tax-free!) we bought canvas shoes for seven bucks at Target and then proceeded on setting up in my driveway. We took out my stash of paints that I took from art class - yep, my teacher just handed them over to me at the end of school - and covered the ground in newspaper.
Then, because I couldn't find a single paintbrush anywhere in my house, we had to use these weird thin wooden craft stick things instead. Note of advice: don't use weird thin wooden craft stick things; they look like they'd work but they do not. Instead, you'll just wind up with more paint on your body than on your artwork.So anywho, we plugged in my iPod speakers, started blasting music for the whole neighborhood to jam out to with us, and began splattering away. Rachel's shoes were the black ones (left) and mine were the white (right). They actually turned out a lot better than they look in the picture. My friend said they even looked like they were bought at a store. Hah it was awesome! I am definitely going to be splatter painting more in the near future - if only I had some things that needed a new paint job. Hmm...my car perhaps? Bedroom walls? NOT my body. Dude, we were covered in paint for the rest of the day and day after. Which by the way was a Sunday. Yeah...my dad wasn't too happy to see me leaving for church with blue and red paint all over my legs. :P
