Spraypainting is a better hobby than knitting because:
- It is easier. Some may say that spraypainting involves talent, but I would argue that talent is optional for this hobby.
- Spraypainting can enliven old crap in your home, while knitting simply adds to the crap that already exists.
- Any object can be spraypainted: shoes, rugs, dishes, plants, etc. Not every object can be knitted.
As a demonstration of this argument, I have designed a very easy craft project. I have noticed that craft projects are very popular on blogs. As I would like to have sponsors for this blog, I feel it is important to incorporate craft projects that will gain me sponsors.
This craft project is titled, "Rock Spraypainting," and involves several easy steps:
- Get a big rock. I found an old rock in a parking lot.
- Buy a cheap can of spraypaint ($2-$4), preferably a metallic color.
- Spraypaint the rock all over; it is ok to have a lead finger as spraypaint driplets will only add to the rock's charm.
- Use the rock as a paperweight.
While this rock does admittedly look like it is covered in tin foil, spraypainting performed a very important function that tin foil does not: immobilizing any bugs and algae that may live on your rock. My rock, for instance, had some green slime on the bottom. Instead of spending significant time cleaning the rock, all I had to do is keep spraypainting it until all of the green slime oozed out. And now I have a very beautiful paperweight that did not involve any knitting.
haha i love it! i am picking up spray paint for my head board! it will be my before and after.....
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that spraypainting can enliven old crap (plates?!ewww...) Knitting can help maintain your manual dexterity and doesn't require a well ventilated area. I'm sure that the fumes coming off yarn are minimal if at all.
ReplyDeleteThe previous comment highlights another benefit of spraypainting: while painting can result in direct inhiliation of fumes, spraypaint fumes disperse largely into the atmosphere, resulting in minimal lung damage. Knitting fibers, however, can clog your lungs, as evidenced by the number of mill-related deaths shown in the BBC movie North and South.
ReplyDeleteA minor note to this project must be noted, however. The rock should be cleaned. I later found that the spraypainted rock continued to ooze a good, which was altogher unpleasant. Subsequently, I recommend a thorough scrubbing and inspection of the rock prior to spraypainting.
i love you ange
