SHARK WEEK

Well, I actually hate sharks. Everything about sharks freaks me out. Maybe this stems from The Little Mermaid...hmmm...But there's something about Shark Week that I just want to celebrate. So, I made this painting. Then I gave it to Josh and Bria because Josh loves sharks more than anyone I know.

Here is the process...I got a smart phone, so now I can take pictures much easier than before. YAY! Welcome to the 21st Century, Bridge.

first, I measured (math skillz) and just used stickers for the words

 
Then, I drew this image and used painters tape to mark it off.

Then I painted over everything (twice). This is really complex, I know. 

Then, after patiently waiting for it to dry, I took the stickers and tape off! TA-DA!!! I'm pretty happy that it didn't come out perfect and crisp. It feels sort of rustic and torn...just like sharks. Because apparently scientists don't know anything and nobody can tell me how long sharks live on average. Or...I got tired of trying to research it and gave up.
