Trunk Update + Bonus ProjectThis trunk thing is a long and labor intensive project. We got pretty much all the paint off and started polishing the metal pieces.





Poor Joe (SelecPanic) tried to fix the bulge in the lid by putting wood glue in the crack, setting a piece of wood over it and sitting on it. That didn't seem to work so he opted himself out for a 5 gallon bucket full of water. Success! The bugle is significantly smaller and now we can move onto putting in wood filler and cleaning everything up before we start to paint it!

While he was working on the trunk, I did a little side project myself. We took pictures of Denver and Dallas from Google Maps, highlighted the main highways and side roads and basically traced those onto canvas with craft tape (Martha Stewart's to be specific).





I then painted over the entire canvas, let it dry, and peeled the tape off.



Tah dah! Art! Well it kind of looks like the Microsoft logo...
