In a matter of months I will have my Very Own New Apartment and I have been secretly sad inside for a while that I won’t be able to paint or doodle on the walls, and was going to settle for putting up faux-vintage fake Polaroids of my friends instead. BUT THEN I found this, and I now have a new life plan. Thank God for the internet, amirite?

That is amazing, I’ve never seen that done before on a wall. Reminds me of those colouring books I had as a kid, or when you just had a blank piece of paper and made your own squirly whirly pictures up…mind you, I’d be tempted to colour all those segments in, if I did that on my wall.
But I guess you could do it on a canvas too and do like a set in different coloured wool, ohh, I’m getting inspired!
the math geek in me is really digging the look of this.
also, after moving back home, i’ve found that i really like to think about how my next place will look. if i had more free wall space in my current room, i’d probs try and implement this now. but i don’t, so this has just been added to my vision of the future instead. : )
Want! There was a plastic thingy you could make those with on paper. (I think what Sarah said) I just can’t remember what it was called – with a circle inside a circle and you put your pencil or pen in it. Anyone remember what those were called?? geoscope or retroscope or something…

That’s super cool looking!
Spirograph!
OMG! Thank you! It was driving me crazy.
Spiragraph-YES!! Thank you from me too, I couldn’t think what it was called either-hence squirly whirly!
WANT! So cool.
