Hanging "Starry Night" Mural


The Creative Process Continues

My family and I moved to eastern Pennsylvania mid-August of 2013,
and, needless to say, my time has been limited as we
have been settling into our new lives.

Hence, this delayed post to bring viewers up-to-date on the
"Starry Night" bottle cap mural.

The final piece consists of six panels, each measuring 2' x 4' -
making the mural's total size approximately 8' x 8'.
Each panel was screwed into the wall using
drywall screws and anchors.

Once the mural was hung, some of the panels did not fit together
exactly right, leaving gaps in parts of the mural.

Visually, this really disrupted from the overall cohesiveness of the mural.

I just couldn't live with the mural looking this way and took some time
to brainstorm remedies to this situation.

Below are some photos showing these unfortunate gaps:
