Whaaaaaat up:) So the other weekend I got to paint on the biggest mural in all of Utah... and check out the pop-up museum 'Hall of Breakfast'
okay okay... so its probably the biggest mural in most the surrounding states too.. but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To me.. the real treat was being able to chill with the artist behind the mural, Chuck Landvatter. He was actually mine and Romney's Art professor... and has by far been my favorite teacher.
He probably is part of the reason I... uh.. dropped out of school??? Which I know sounds a bit ass backwards for teaching but... I remember him telling me that if school is stifling creativity or getting in the way of an opportunity, than it might not be the time for school.
I plan on going back to school eventually but feel like if I don't push the YouTube stuff now I may be missing out on a rad opportunity.
I'm going off a bit on a tangent.. so back to the Vlog...
So Chuck is one of the most inspirational persons I know. I was so pumped when he replied to my text saying I could come check out the wall. I was even more floored when he let Roms and I paint a bit on the wall.
I didn't really help out a ton... we mostly just chit chatted about life and what not (one of my favorite things as his student was to get him to rant off for like 45 min's at the beginning of class)
He is planning to have the mural all finished in a couple weeks and he has some guys filming the whole process.. so once that's done I'll put a link in my instagram or twitter:)
soooooo before we went to the Hall of Breakfast we actually went to the Zoo.
One of my friends Grace works at the zoo so was able to hook us up for a free day at the zoo..
as I was editing I took a lot of film of the animals paws and feets... haha sooooo.. there you go:)
The Hall of Breakfast is a pop up art installation/museum... kind of like the Museum of ice cream that was in California.. (which I never was able to go to:(
Each room had a theme of.. you guessed it... breakfast.
You start out by stepping through a doorway that looks like a fridge... Welcome to the Milk room. The next rooms are just as elaborate as the fridge shaped door: Eggs, bacon, cereal, pancakes & waffles, donuts, coffee, and fruits.
I'm a nerd and my favorite thing was that they had treats in lots of the rooms... yummmmmm
But it was really fun and seemed like a place to basically just take pictures for instagram... and.. I loved it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
funny enough I didn't take very many pictures though... next time.

Annika Victoria and I try our hands to the biggest embroidery piece weve ever done....
-Hi from Australia, were upside down here. oh im going to faint. oh no.
-Im from America.. I just hang up side down.
-ya.. hello. hey shmoxxddd.. hey Bryan
-helloooooo.. hows it going? what are we doing here?
-Today.. its going to be DIY vs DIY
-Oh cool
-I just decided on the..
-You just decided on the name..thats cool. Ill just roll with it:) Weve decided on an image.. I found an image of a peony... Peony
-Peony..
-Peony.. its a peony.. its just a really punny flower. just punny..
-So.. were both going to try and embroider a peony and were both going to try it on some Denim. I am a biginner at embroidery I would say.. and I would say you are a little bit better.
-Im definitely no... no no expert.
-Youre like a level above at least. Okay so were going to do the same project, but when we both finish were are going to get back on Skype, were going to compare them, see how the other did, and were also going to record the process that we both used to do our own versions.
-ya! that sounds perfect.
-And were going to record that to show you guys so you can do it for your self!:) Alright! So lets get started!
-GOOD LUCK Well see you in a bit
-GOOD LUCK bye
-bye
So I just have the reference picture here.. its in the chat with Annika.. Perfect!
I want to put that peony on my jean jacket. I think it would look really cool on my sleeve. I just took this marker.. the marker comes out with water so I just started drawing it on:)
Its not perfect, I changed some stuff about the flower. I made the flower and petals bigger, the stem longer, and just made it to fit the jacket how I wanted. ( also I wanted it to go over the seam like it is here:)
I also have these clamps. They hold the hoop in place. Its not entirely necessary to have theses clamps.. I just use them so it stays in one place as Im filming.
I picked out theses colors for the flower and im going to start with the outline with this dark maroon. Just tie a knot in it, and Im ready to go.
I have a video where I go over more or less the basics of doing a patch: https://bit.ly/2G7EseV
I should probably update it.. its a bit old. but.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ yah.
After I got the outline done, I wanted to do all the green with a chain stitch. Basically you just make a normal stitch, but when you come back up you come up through your back stitch. I made a video where I go more in depth how to do the chain stitch here:
https://bit.ly/2pBLMrN
I kept on having to readjust the hoop cause it was bigger than the design.
Also when I couldnt pull it through I used pliers. ( I used them a lot on the seam:) that helped
The next stitch I did was the long short stitch. I would make long stitches [spaced out] then come back through and fill the spaces with a short stitch... and that seemed to work.
I was trying to get a good fade when I used the red. Once I got done feeling in the empty space with the red I would come back through and put a red stitch that went from the red area and went up to like the middle of the pink.
I did the same thing with the maroon [on the outlines] just to bring the fade up a little more.
Now on to the chain stitch. the dark green and the light green feel was a chain stitch.
When doing the leaf I would start on the outside of the leaf and do some chain stitches in and end in the middle [of the leaf] where the crease would be. then I did that on the other side.
Andddd done.. lets check the inside to make sure its not too hornedou.... a;sldfjawopeingfas;d its not too bad.. hopefully I just dont snag it when I put my arm through the sleeve..
Time to call Annika...
