As I couldn't finish the writing yesterday because the paint had to dry, I finished it today with a much more calm hand and a dryer brush. So here's the other wall on the opposite of the entry door. It's the wall you see first when you come in my flat. It says: "Gib dein bestes, und du bist selbst der Beschenkte." which means at much as "give your best and you will be the presentee yourself". Now I have just two more rooms left. But not that weekend. It feels so much better to have a freshly painted wall. We haven't painted them since we moved in 7 years ago. So it was muchly needed.
WOW! wie geil :) jaja, sowas habe ich für unsere neue wohnung ja auch schon lange geplant - fehlt nur noch die wohnung...
RICHTIG TOLL! glückwunsch!

It's great:) And totally different from what I imagined when you described the idea.

What a great idea. It looks so beautiful because you have such nice writing - I've been envious of your handwriting for ages.

I have always, always wanted to paint part of a Pink Floyd song around the top of my bathroom. I could never do it freehand (writer but no artist); know where I could get good stencils with which to "cheat"? Yours looks beautiful. Cheers!

Thanks for your comment on my blog! I'm glad that I checked yours this morning; these walls are beautiful! Your lettering is very nice, and I love the color. It makes me want to give this a try. :)
