i'm totally gonna' try this!

Payton Cosell Turner, a multi-talented artist, has created gorgeous wallpaper by applying a variety of small stickers to the wall in very playful patterns. i imagine it takes a lot of time and thoughtfulness: picking out just the right stickers, making sure the size and color of them are harmonious, creating the pattern, and what scale it should be, etc.

but wouldn't it be such a cool project?!? being able to decide exactly what colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns to use? totally custom, totally personal, and totally rad! i think one of the walls in my bedroom is looking a little bare...

i really wish i was this creative!

these are works of the artist Dalton Ghetti. a man who must have pretty steady hands, eyes like a hawk, and lots of patience. i just read somewhere that he spends up to two and a half years creating each handmade piece. talk about a dedicated artist!

i always feel like it's such a waste when i throw away pencils that have become too short to write with. maybe i should send them to him?
