One of the most fun and satisfying birthday activities I've ever been a part of was when my friend took me to an axe throwing event. In a small warehouse with a bunch of plywood mounted to the walls with targets painted on, we were allowed to hurl axes of varying sizes at the wall. The first time I threw one, I didn't throw hard enough. The instructor actually asked me to put more weight behind it, and when that axe lands on the target (or anywhere near it), it brings an insane amount of satisfaction. If you live near something like that, TRY IT! I'll take chopping wooden walls over chopping onions any day. So I used that as my inspiration for Inktober day 24.
What axe-man wouldn't wear plaid? I thought it applied nicely to my theme, and added a little axe logo for good measure. The bright red base is
Carmen (Zoya), and the logo's background is
You're So Vain-illa (OPI). I watered down the black plaid lines by adding top coat to
Black Onyx (OPI) and stirring it up until it looked runny. Then I filled in the black checks with solid black. Easy.
Ah, that axe throwing sounds incredibly fun :D !
ReplyDeleteIt was a blast! Release axes and release tension all in one huge swing!
