If you haven't noticed I am leaning towards crafts suddenly. I've never really made more craft oriented art before. Fine Art has always been my focus. However, I've had some sort of need to turn away from Fine Art for some time. Working in the art world I saw so many talented artists get no attention and sell nothing and so many terrible kitchy artists do well. My awakening to the reality of the gallery world made me feel lost in despair. Moving out of the city and focusing on school has been a good break for me and I am making plans for a project involving Walden Pond of course. But in the meantime I am thirsting my creative impulses making aromatherapy products and selling them on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WiseEarth
My parent's bathroom is also falling victim to this new found craft project craze. I am painting a mural in the bathroom and also making a shelf/towel hanger.
Here is the rough photoshop collage to illustrate my idea for the mural. It is inspired by the mural art of Rufus Porter. Basically it will changing from Winter to Spring to Summer to Fall in this sort of primitive style. It will start on the short back wall and wrap all the way around back to the door.
Here I have used a drill bit to make a hole in each corbel for the dowel rod to sit in and sanded it down with the dremel.

As for the shelf. I cut a piece of wood and some trim and glued the trim to the edges.
Then I cut a 1/2 inch wooden dowel to size and glued it into the corbels to create a towel rack.
