How would i go about painting or stenciling a large white sox logo on my wall.?

Answer 1

I wouldn't attempt to stencil it. I would pick up a projector at either the local arts and crafts store for about $20 or see if you can borrow one from the library. Then, just place your image under the projector and the image will appear large on the wall. You can adjust the image size by either moving closer or further away from the wall.

Then, just trace the design with a pencil and paint it in.

:) Have fun.

Answer 3

A projector will be the easiest way, but if you can't get one home, you can go somewhere that will allow you to use one. Craft stores sell large pieces of blank stencil plastic. You can trace your design off-site, then come home, cut out the pieces, and stencil it on the wall. That way you have an intact stencil that you can use elsewhere in the room if you like.

Answer 4

The easiest way would be to get the logo put on a transparency and put a projector on the the wall and then you could paint it or whatever.

Another way which would probably work best for you is to take a picture of the logo and make a grid on it.

For example take it and draw boxes over the picture like 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and when you get that done draw boxes on your wall like 2 in by 2 in and then draw each box as close to the logo original as possible.

That would probably be your best bet. Make suer you draw it in pencil on your wall so you won't see it when you are done.

Answer 5

a projector would be nice to have on this project..but if you can't get your hands on one......what you can do...is go to your local Wal-Mart or a store similar to this..and buy a roll of clear contact paper..about $4...it is sold where the kitchen supply is....it is for lining shelves...determine what size you want this logo to be....take the contact paper and roll it out on you bed spread...it is really sticking on the back..you want to take some of the stickiness off..by putting it on your bedspread..it takes away some of it ... take the piece or pieces you need to make the size design you want and place it on the wall where you want it... than you or someone you know that can draw...draw the design on the contact paper with a pen....than take an exacto and cut the design out .....don't cut to deep or you will go into the drywall.....once you have made your stencil than paint it......

*** the use of contact paper was taught to me in art school (a lot cheaper than other masking) for airbrushing...

best of luck to you on your project...I hope I helped.....

**** one more thing...after you painted it..wait till the paint dry some before pulling the contact paper off the wall....if you do it to soon the paint might smudge....

Answer 6

In early times the only colours easily available for decorating the walls were 'KAAVI' and Chunnambu.Kaavi or red earth was used on Kolams with white stone powder . This is a nice visual contrast and kaavi and white is pleasing to the eye. So this was used on Temple walls and on outer walls of Agraharam ( Brahmin residential streets). Kaavi being replaced by red paint is a modern variation. As for black it is considered by all religions including Hinduism to be an inauspicious colour---usually associated with " Kathu, karuppu".( evil forces) Now the same colour combination is seen on the roadside trees on both the sides of the National highways. I thought it is for visual impact but I found the trees on the side of branching roads are painted white. I am yet to solve thr mystery!! Your suggestion of Trimurthies brings to my mind the three lines worn by the Ayangars on thir foreheads.

Answer 7

Depending on how large you want it to be, I would get a poster board or a large piece of cardboard and draw out the design on it and then cut it out. Hold it up to the wall and spray paint it. Know if you don't think that you are able to draw it well enough, maybe you can get someone to draw it for you. Good luck

Dear Sir, Recently I heard in a Mahabharata Discourse by one Shri. Naagai Mukundhan, in Anna Nagar, Chennai the reasons for White & Red/Saffron colour to symbolize the colours of basic seeds of creation Sperm & Overy as described by ‘Kuttima’ above. EDIT: Another possibility or reasoning: Olden days, the compounds were done with Stone masonry and it never required plaster or painting. But later when the brick masonry came in to practice, plastering was essential to make the surface even and also to protect bricks from decaying. Prior to cement, only lime was used as binding material for mortar. When lime mortar plaster was completed it remained off white. It is accepted in general that GOD Para Brahman is light and colour is white. Since Para Brahman is in the nature of giving away everything to all, the suitable colour to represent Para Brahman is white as scientifically White is a colour which reflects all without any absorption. Hence to represent Para Brahman white is used in compound wall using lime. (Black is opposite nature to absorb everything and it does not reflect anything back. So such colour is totally prohibited I guess) Again Yellow in the form of Turmeric is available is considered to be very auspicious and representation of Sakthi or Ambal Amsam and that turmeric was applied over the white compound as strips. It is the nature of Turmeric to react with lime and get transferred to a new colour red by chemical reaction. Hence the original idea was to represent Para Brahman & Sakthi white and yellow were applied but turned White & Red. This was the out come of my discussion with Shri.C.Srividya Rajagopalan Sir and that I have posted here as additional detail.
