Canvas art with wooden letters

This is a canvas art made with a canvas, wooden letters, glitter and glow in the dark paint that I made for a friends young daughter. The stars that you can see are actually glow in the dark. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Yet another project idea that I got from Pinterest :). This photo is before I painted the stars on. This is how it looks all finished, but still drying. Wanted to take a quick snap though so hung it up in the first place I could take, and took the photo. It's back and drying now :P. I hand painted the canvas with a brush, hand painted the butterflies with a much smaller brush, spray painted the letters (after undercoating them with a brush) in a chrome colour, and used silver glitter glue to add an accent to the letters. I only bought a small amount of glitter glue, and was lucky to be able to cover the little letters, so that's why there isn't any on the big letters, little disappointed about that. There is also some glitter

Large Format printing at home

I found this really great wallpaper online that I liked so much, I decided I wanted to hang it up in my room, as a poster.

To create it, I made a large Photoshop document, to the exact size for 5x4 A4 sheets of paper, with 1cm gaps in between. Then using masks and exporting each section to a different image and printing, I was able to put them together to look like this. Very happy with the result, however printing onto glossy paper would have given it a much better look. I may end up
