Lately my life has been consumed with painting things for people. While I was busy painting things for my Big, I decided I could try and paint something for my boyfriend. I had a lot of fun with this because it wasn’t a planned craft, I just had an extra canvas.

First I spray painted the canvas navy to give it that dark spacey color. Once the spray paint was dry I started doing the outline of my planets. When I placed each planet where I liked them I painted the insides, trying to shade them as best I could to make it look better. I added some dots for stars. I used a yellow and white. I even tried to put in one of the dippers (not even close to correct on location or anything). I added a fancy star at the top and a rocket ship because what space painting is complete without a rocket ship? None! Once everything was dry I wrote a cute little saying over it(:

After I gave it to him we decided to paint over everything with black light paint since his room has black lights. It was a lot of fun cause I made him something and then we worked on it together. I tried to take a picture of it glowing but it didn’t work out at all.
