I'm finally back with another DIY update article in "He's a Pirate" series! The shirt for my little Captain Jack Sparrow doll is done!
I would love to share some more updates but I don't think anything much has changed in my room since the last update article, the pictures and dream-catchers on my main wall have stayed the same, even though I'm starting of thinking to change everything drastically, as recently I have switched places some furniture, decoration needs transformation as well.
As some of you might have heard, during the summer, my apartment went through quite big changes, repainting my mum's bedroom and bathroom, changing door, windows, but in my room there was exactly one big change, I'm now going to tell more about. Remember the wall with 3 huge, black canvas needleworks? Now they have been moved to my mum's room freshly repainted walls, and I have finally fulfilled my dream of using musical instruments as visible part of interior look.
In a nutshell, one day I decided that I have too much money left over from my 17th birthday and spring name day. As corona quarantine has made me pick up guitar after a longer break, and FINALLY normally learn some things none of the weird teachers had taught me (like strumming patterns and scales). After finally, years later, I discovered how can I actually make that box with strings sound good, and changed it's strings all by myself for the first time in 5 years (+for bravery), I finally ended up deciding that I need an electric guitar, so here it is! Fender Squier Stratocaster, honestly what were you expecting from me who definitely isn't any rich and can barely play a song? XD After I had brought this little beauty home and instantly fell in love with it (seriously, I love electric guitars, they don't hurt your fingers like acoustic do, they are much easier to hold, much more comfortable, love love love), I faced a problem, problem called room space, see, it also has an amplifier and everything and I also have other guitar, keyboard, ukulele, the floor became to little, so I had to think of a solution, I ordered 3 wall hangers for guitars, called our repairman (a.k.a. the 'guy with a drill') and together with him we figured out how and what to place on the wall to hang my instruments. The wallpaper here is pretty abrasive, seriously it's enough to throw a plush toy at it and it just sticks to the wall like with loops and hooks. Letting instruments touch this surface could lead to damage, so we bough some woods, I polished them myself and that guy attached them to wall together with hangers.
Here you can see my old Yamaha (F310) acoustic guitar I got back when I was 12, my ukulele I got for 20 euros from Aliexpress (after my dad made me order it as a birthday gift from him) and was shocked about how high quality and good it is, it's better than most of my friend's ukes I've seen (and theirs were bought in real music store), and of course my new Fender Squier beauty... Oh and my tambourine as well, which I use for evil spirit exorcism rituals a.k.a energy cleaning with sound a.k.a. making my neighbors go crazy.
So here are all my new updates, my guitar wall and a shirt for the little Johnny/Jack, I love how these two things suit each other, as Johnny loves to play guitar and I have added some pictures of him playing, while wearing his Jack Sparrow costume. I'm currently working on a vest, belts, hat and coat for the little Jack, so 3rd article in these series is coming soon! 💙🎸
P.S. Comment down below any creative ideas of what could I change about my other wall, pictures, dreamcather rearrangements etc. Any ideas are highly welcome, new creations are coming soon! 💙🎸
