DIY Week 5: Finishing up Mural #1

Since I was busy working at the Culture Fair on Friday, I committed four hours of my Saturday evening to finish up, from 3pm-7:30pm. I don't think yesterday's work was as hard as the week before, since all I really had to do was paint in the empty spaces in between and add more details. Here was what I accomplished the week before:


And here is my finished mural:


It may not be the greatest mural of all; however, since I put over 100% effort into this along with blood, sweat, and tears, I'm very proud of myself and I loved my first experience. My biggest mistakes was the verse, which as you can see, goes up and down and all over the place, aha. 

With my first experience I learned to be more patient and that I need to plan ahead when or before I paint the memory verse over the picture. Next time I'll wait for the paint to dry first, before adding in the memory verse.Or I can just wait another week.

For my upcoming mural, I plan on painting a group of people standing in the sunset, holding each others hands up. The theme for this mural will be worship and I'll be spending some time during the week looking for the perfect theme verse. This mural will most likely be painted in the main children's ministry room.On the other hand, if my plan don't come into play, I'll work on a mural of Abraham and Issac and include  a memory verse about faith.

I've also decided to lower my working hours from 3 hours to 2 and a half hours since it's hard for me to commit so much with homework and other ongoing activities. Along with this, I don't feel safe working alone for so long. I want to work while the sun is still up and when there is more people around.
