'bug, how cool and colorful..were the artists known to your DD and DSIL ? Or did they just collect them over time ?

Neat! Thanks for sharing GB. I'm curious about the process too. Is this from a 'kit' of some kind?

The squares came in a book format and each picture had to be removed in order with an exacto knife. I believe they bought it at a fair of some sort. Personally I wouldn't have the patience required to complete it, but DSIL finished it in 2 days, including building the frame! He is considering buying a second "kit" and applying it directly to the wall rather than having the frame. We'll see. He begins his Stay-at-Home-Dad experience on Monday....

What a beautiful idea on the artist's part and executed so well - I wonder if they colaborated on the color palette the way a quilter does?

I want one in my room....maybe a sunset?

I think the stay at home dad experience is a lot different from mom's because we care for alot of emotional needs where dad tends to plunder through and get all the physical stuff done (big generalization there). Not better either way, just different. Alot of times I come home to find all the machines in the house going at once as if there's been a marathon of cleaning, but everyone's hanging on my pant let wanting to talk about what happened at school today :)

I hope he enjoys his one on one time, I think he will :)

What a beautiful mural and I think it would be well worth the work. I'd love to know if this could be ordered some where.

What fun, it will surely give Reed something to look at.

I am thinking..."what a great jigsaw puzzle that would make, LOL ! It's beautiful.
