Friday! yes. I am in such a zombie state of mind. Work, life, work. But, there is sunshine in Vancouver! so that makes everything so much better. I am taking the whole blogging thing a bit slow these coming days. I really REALLY love blogging but it was getting to a point where I’d stress about it – which defeats the whole purpose of me doing this.
Worry not! I have some cool things lined up though. A cool, easy arty tutorial {by a super cool art student that submitted her pictures!} and a great Euro band that has some rad tunes and videos and, because they are so cool, they will give you a free download . Yep. That cool.
For this weekend post I want to share with you a fantastic art project that I found via Yellowtrace Blog {which, in case you don’t have it yet, should be in your bookmarks cuz it’s just like yummy salsa on art}. The project; a DIY Camera Oscura…room! Yes, just look at these pics and get blown away:

So so so good, right? Ok now, here are the instructions for the magic by Yellowtrace :
STEP 1. Cover your window with a very dark shade (ideally velvet, or another heavy fabric/ solid material).
STEP 2. Make a pinhole in the fabric (I know what you are thinking – as if I you are going to cut a hole in a velvet curtain. Fair enough. But just go along for the sake of the exercise.)
STEP 3. An image of the outside scenery will be reflected directly on the opposite wall, but it will be upside-down.
STEP 4. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the trip
This seems to be a fairly easy project, no? I mean if you only have a few windows with very little view then go get your friends involved! Go to their places and hunt down some nice looking scenery. If you want to check the full original post – click here
If you do end up trying it let me know and, of course, send some pics!
Ok that’s it for now. Again, there are a lot of cool things coming up in here, just bare with me while I get more sunshine energy pumped into my blood.
Thanks so much for popping by, have a great weekend!
Lots of love.
