bedroom decor for women image

ConfedChic

I want lifesize men and women made out of whatever - just need them for an event we are doing. Where in the world can I find things like this to buy? Perhaps I could commission someone to fabricate them for me? I don't even know where to find someone artsy to help me with that. please advise.

Answer
You could try approaching someone at a local graphic arts college or technical school -- one of the instructors might welcome something like this as an assignment for the students with an opportunity for them to get exposure at the event. Offer a nominal prize for the most interesting materials used as an incentive, say a couple hundred dollar gift certificate to an art supply store. You would get quite a variety of mannequins via this route.

The other option is to find a "prop shop" -- these are places that rent display items, costumes, furnishings, etc. to store window decorators and theatrical companies. Most major cities have one or more of these.

If there is an IKEA store near you, they used to sell life-sized standing flat wire sylized outlines of a man and a woman (I think they were so hang clothes on in a bedroom or just for decor). These are not 3-D but they were fairly cheap -- don't know if they still sell them.

Murals Your Way has the best, most extensive selection of wall murals. They have the cityscapes, like NYC, Vegas, Paris, etc:

And they also have the Mediterranean scenes, too, which are beautiful. They would not match my current decor at all, but I think they look stunning & I like the idea of someone taking advantage of them:

what exactly is a wall mural?

kids room jungle theme image

tinker77

i've seen some for kids room, what is the material and is it difficult to place it on the wall?any experiense?

Answer
Most wall murals are scenic paintings that are painted directly on an entire wall. Some themes are the Wild West (wth cowboys and horses), Pirate Land (with ships and pirates), Jungle Land (with vines, trees, and big cats), Space World (with planets and stars), and Fantasy Land (with castles and enchanted forests). If you are artistic, you can paint a scene yourself; if not, then an artisitc friend or a paid artist can do it. I have seen canvas murals that can be attached to walls. There are precut holes at the top of the mural protected with grommets. The canvas scenes can be held up with nails through the holes. I have also seen themed wallpaper, but that is too big of a job and hard to put up. Some craft stores have sets of stencils that can be used to create a theme. Hope that helps a little.

I need to make a jungle at school?How shall I start? I wish to make a pond and children dressed as animals?

I need it for display at school exhibition. Its a room project. The theme is jungle. Need some songs for it

Answer
For the Jungle try a carpet warehouse for cardboard rolls,cardboard from TV shops etc,they just skip it along with polystyrene packing.Fasten it all together with PVA type glue and newspaper.Short ends of cardboard rolls with paper glued over the end makes great drums.I hope you have the kids already,as making them takes a while. They will make the music for you if given the inevitable glued up brushes.Any strips of left over paper will always stick to the little darlings,so have a tape recorder to hand for when Mummy comes round for additional sound effects,or failing that colour the paper strips black and yellow for the tigers.Be careful as the one that I did included a giant spiders' web but I lt my little angels put it over the fire escape ,so,when the Head came racing through during the fire drill he got rather tied up!!Yours truly,a retired art teacher. Don't laugh too much I nearly forgot the pond............
