It has been raining on and off for days and days and days.
Don’t even get me started on the times when it has switched over to snow.
I love rain, and I love spring thunderstorms (which we’ve had), but after a while, the lack of sunlight makes you start to question your existence.
Let’s just say that the old adage “April showers bring May flowers” had better be true. Otherwise, I am going to have quite the little talk with Someone.
To counteract all instances of rain-induced depression, I did a quick and easy artwork switcheroo. Hanging in the “hallway” (I use that term loosely) outside of our bathroom and bedroom were three pretty generic square frames. When I hung them shortly after we moved into this apartment, I stuck some nice magazine pictures of plants in them.
This is obviously a little too generic and normal for my, um, eclectic tastes…so I spruced it up with some quick magazine art inspired by Sarah.
Looking for colorful, textured images, I cut out a whole bunch of raindrops (yes, this part was sort of challenging…freehanding raindrops with a scissors is harder than you’d think). For backing, I used the cardboard that came in each frame and painted a gray square for the raindrops to sit upon.
I didn’t want to deal with the crinkly-ness of using glue (glue+magazines=always a hassle, at least it is with yours truly), so I used double-stick tape which worked wonderfully.
Ta-da!
As I’m writing this post, it’s Tuesday evening, sunny and 52°. However (mark my words!), this will not last. This is what is in store for the rest of the week.
Do you see Saturday’s forecast? SNOW.
To add insult to injury, it’s also construction season in Michigan and my regular route to work is currently unavailable.
BUT (in the interest of counteracting all of this complaining) spraypainting season is also upon us.
I guess we have much to be thankful for. đŸ™‚
