Mirror mirror on the wall

[ailbhe]

Rob and taimatsu and I put ten small round mirrors on the dining room wall today, and moved the rectangular one to a different wall, and if my oil paintings ever dry I will hang them up among the mirrors, and paint more, and stuff.

I feel really self-conscious about it, but I know what I like to have around me and I can make it, and I can't seem to buy it, so I should just do it. And it will be brilliant.

And Rob likes the things I've painted too, so that's good. And more mirrors are bound to make the room brighter, aren't they?

As a side-effect, the Japanese characters taimatsu drew for the children are now in a more orderly, more easily visible location. We have yet to properly hang the corkboard map, though. We need more picture-hangers.

Another bonus is that very few of the mirrors will ever show me my face unless I am trying to see it, which will make walking around my house that much more pleasant for me.

When a few paintings are up on the wall, I'll take photos to show people. No idea how to light them though, because flash and mirrors isn't going to work...

This sounds very cool. I'd love to see pics if you feel so inclined.

If my camera can be of any assistance I'd be glad to have a go- my short lens can take photos without flash in really low light. A standard central room light is more than enough!
