Today I found an unpublished post on my blog from March 2013...
Easter weekend means its time to check our festival cafe tents.
Our trip to Disney gave me lots of ideas for painting our tents. But in the end I decided against these and decided on something I have doodled and hennaed lots of times... beautiful mandalas.
My original plan of bright colours also went out the window. I started by painting white ornate frames around our blackboard painted menu wall and then added more frames to lots of new blackboards.
I started the outside by priming the mandalas and Kindred Cafe sign white, with the plan to add bright car spray paints for the colour details. The first tent was complete and left overnight to dry at our friend's garage.
The following morning the vintage effect of the Kindred Cafe sign really stood out and was enough for me to completely scrap the bright colourful plan. Just tidying and edging and fixing a huge drippy mess and we began again on the second tent.
The final tent has a fireplace and candlesticks. There'll be 3 low tables in here, painted with blackboard paint for children to draw on here inside the play/crafting area of the cafe.
