Another Use for XS charts

Carol Duvall had a creative use for simple charts: wall painting! Using a 1/2"
square of sponge glued to a piece of 1/2" wooden stake, dab paint onto the
wall, counting dabs instead of stitches.

Ohmigawd! what an evil evil thought!

But how would you embellish it? Metallic paints?

Ah, but there are tons of permanent inks, metallic, pearl, etc., for
stamping and crafting! I envision using a nylon or metal screen for a
"grid" (something like window screen), a small sponge to "stamp" with -
voila! a TW mural of sorts on the wall. Probably much faster than xs,
too! Now I'm thinking there's probably a small square stamp available
-- oh no, two hobbies mixing together!! AAARRRGGGHHHH!

Details, details! *Grin* I admit that I was captured by the idea and
immediately moved from "simple charts" to "charts I'd like to stitch"
and that's where my mind started to boggle. *giggle*

Now, now, Elizabeth... Personally, I picked up the calculator and tried to
figure out whether I could fit an MLI angel on my guest room wall. And I think
one of the older/smaller ones would fit. Now just gotta shanghai Seanette into
helping!

I must say that I find the concept really and truly intriguing. And I
have wall(s) big enough to consider carrying it out.
