I've always been inspired by those artists who can draw on the wall, not that I want to be one... but it looks nice to have one on my living room wall.
But I don't have the talent for it... yet. Until I found the instant wall mural stickers from
IKEA.
I bought a packet and started to surf the
Internet for ideas... I noticed a lot of them make it look like a hanging branch, I guess the feeling of the season "Fall" is pretty romantic. So I decided to have mine as "Japanese-fall-season-contemporary-zen" look.

I started with the main branch.

progressed to the smaller branches


Then added more branches and leaves

I placed falling flowers and leaves in the wind to create the effect of "Fall"

Does it have a cool autumn feeling?

The girls helped to stick the lower part of the pictures with flowers and humming birds.
This is the only time I allow them to place stickers on my wall. I told them not to add stickers of their own to it.

This is only part one of the project.
