When I first moved into my apartment what I was most excited about was putting stuff on the walls. Framed posters and artwork and all these things I collected over the years. What I realized was that I had a lot of wall space and very varied tastes. I also had no job which left me with a lot of time on my hands. On a trip to Ikea I picked up a small wooden mirror for $3. I had no idea what I would do with it but for $3 why not. The first mirror I made was created using Martha Stewart Halloween craft stickers. I called it, "The Raven" cause it reminds me of Poe. Since then I have made a bunch of mirrors using all sorts of materials. Now every time I'm in Ikea I pick up a mirror just to have on hand in case I get inspired. The mirrors are one of those things that I can pick up and do in an hour and just make my day better. They also are great (and cheap) gifts. The best part is, each mirror is a blank slate that you take and create something that no one else ever has and it's one of a kind. I'm back home in my families house now but when I again move into my own place I plan to devote an entire wall to these mirrors. Here are just some of the few I've made...
