Mural Party

A wall, while being great for protection, is not the most beautiful thing to look upon. In fact, it kind of felt like a prison yard.


So, Sarah had the great idea of painting murals and enlisting volunteers to come over and paint our walls! It was kind of neat, it ended up being most of our Bible study group who came over and helped us beautify our yard.

I'm not much of an artist, but I can follow lines and fill in color!


And the final products?

Eucalyptus branches and an orange weaver bird:


Passion fruit vine (we are currently working on a real, fruit-producing, passion fruit vine canopy that will bring shade to this corner of the yard):


An interpretive version of a mango tree - one of my favorite local fruits!


Other than the black for the lines, we didn't even have to buy paint for the murals! Left over paint from various bedrooms and kitchens around Musoma were used - which led to some fun creativity in the final products.
