Is this...is this a Diablo?

About two weeks ago I did my first ever window painting for my friend, who works at EB Games and the store wanted something for the midnight release.  The game Diablo III came out, and although I have NO clue what the game is even about, I did the window art!  It's a late update, but here, finally, is the photo!  As...shudder..."instagramed" by Kevin.


WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?!
Of course, as I was doing it, people were coming in the store and asking when the game was coming out.  Even though I had painted it.  In bright yellow.  On the window.  Next to the door.  -_-

It's something I want to do more of, and there will be more game releases I can do for the store.  I know, I know, it's not crochet but it's my craft and it was really fun!!!  Maybe one day, when I have my own crochet shop (a nerdy dream of mine) I will have cute amis painted in the window!!! <3  If you want to do your own window painting, it's super easy.  Draw your image on the outside of the glass with a whiteboard marker.  Then on the inside, using ACRYLIC paint (some websites say to use tempera, we tried this, it does NOT work) paint your image.  But don't forget, you have to do whatever is in the foreground first, or you'll be scraping paint and starting over.  To remove it, wash with Lysol or any other household cleaner and use a plastic or metal scraper to take off the paint.  Super fun!  I'm excited to do the Assassin's Creed one, that's one of my favourite games!

As for non-denomic cute crochet, there will be two, possibly three new items ready for viewing tomorrow!  Until then, Super Cuties, stay awesome, try some window painting, and have a great weekend!
