Thank you!Personally I’d go for some yellow like sand and sun.its one of my favourite colours and a happy smiley colour too to go with the lovely blue. Hope painting goes well look forward to seeing final result.
Such a lovely idea about involving your guests and your work of art developing over time xThank you!
I think you're right, and a yellowish brown was my first plan. But my friend who's helping me has ideas on a rocky bottom, which is cool too. But I think I'll stick to my plan, and she can add a couple of rocks on the sandy bottom.
What will be added for sure is a big and bright yellow sun to go with the blue!
I'll definitely post a picture of the end result.
Although there won't be a real end result, I plan to have everyone who visits me add a little fish or bird or such, so over the years my bed will be filled by friendly fishes!
Seeing as this forum has answered so many important questions for me in the past five years I thought to see if you can help me out with my current biggest dilemma (forget about diabetes, I'm not doing diabetes today, it's not behaving, and this is general chat anyway).
We started painting my bedstee today. First picture is from a couple years back, to give you an idea of what it looks like when it's an actual bed, pictures below are how it looks today, both as viewed from the living room and inside my 'bedroom'.
Top part is the sky, darker blue part below is the see, underwater (fishes and plants and such will be added later), white band in the middle will be a darkish grey green, to be the sea as if you look at it when you stick your head out of the water (mainly added as an excuse to be able to paint little sailing boats in it), and the white part at the bottom will be the bottom of the sea.
Now should I make it a greyish rock bottom or a yellowish sand bottom? Or a combination somehow?
I'd vote for a bit of both. Nature is random
I'm with the ocherish yellow, but I think added rock won't hurt so a bit of both it will be.If it were me, I would go for an ocherish shade of yellow - kind of bright goldy-greyish-brown. Just my taste, of course, you might like something brighter. You could, of course, add some interesting rocks or other things ("lost" anchors, treasure chests and so on).
Beware, picture spam!
Still a work in progress but we had no paint left and it was time for a beer anyway.
Very happy with the result so far!
Not everything turned out the way I had in mind but everything turned out in a way I like! (Well, except for the green sun, but that will hopefully be rectified once I have new paint.)
The red dots are a school of fish but they look suspiciously like guinea pigs!
I also decided that sea snakes lay eggs looking like hen's eggs.
Undersea onions?
This one was supposed to be a very scary fish lurking behind the sand, but it clearly wanted to be a happy shrimp!
Might be the unusual activity, I need significantly less mealtime insulin when I'm out and about all day.BG has been at 8.4 - 8.7 all day. Very unusual for me. And that's despite managing to make a wholemeal loaf in the bread making machine and having a slice half way through the afternoon - I'd been brought home from the Stornoway meeting, completely shattered
I completely agree!I don't see why you shouldn't have a shoal of guinea pigs swimming in your sea, or even a garden of sea-onions.
Thank you!That is brilliant, Antje! What a happy scene and so bright and cheerful. I don't see why you shouldn't have a shoal of guinea pigs swimming in your sea, or even a garden of sea-onions. Must show this to Em next time she's here, she'll love it.
wow! It's gorgeous!Beware, picture spam!

What a thoughtful present you gave , @Antje77Back in march I gave my friend flower seeds to grow edible flowers for her birthday.
She has gastroparesis (not diabetes related) and can eat very little besides what her feeding tube delivers directly into her intestine. bypassing the stomach.
So she's decided that what little she eats has to be very good, both in taste and in looks.
I think this is the prettiest lemon shortbread I've ever seen!
I had no idea my edible flower seeds would turn into such a wonderful result!What a thoughtful present you gave , @Antje77
