DIY Marimekko-inspired wall drawing
Kibwe Daisy explains how to transfer an image to your wall and color it in with Sharpies(!!) to make a cool Marimekko-like graphic for your living room. Read about his project here at Curbly. Kibwe apparently has a very lenient landlord. Add that to your list of supplies.

My "landlord" would think I was nuts.
way cool. I love marimekko.
That is so awesome :)
Neat idea, but there's no way I'd write on my walls with a Sharpie! I own them, and don't want to have to deal with the headache of covering over something like that someday!
Thanks for posting this. So cool I would love to do this as a headboard. I think it would be a great inexpensive idea for a guest room or for my son, in a great pop of color.
Great idea, but why not do it on a canvas that you can take with you wherever life takes you.
This is wonderful!!! looks great too!! I used to write all over my bedroom walls as a kid...it was ok until I took it out into the HALLWAY.....they stifled my creativity but quick-like. I will forward this post to my parents ASAP......

I am NOT showing this to my daughter who just got in trouble for drawing on the wall with a sharpie. I guess his mom was more lenient.
We have marimekko designed mobile phones in Japan.

Sharpie markers are easily removed from a painted wall with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. Trust me! Also, Killz primer will also cover it easily.
Megumi, you're so lucky! I need to move to Japan, I guess.
clever project! i would love a wall this fashionable.
NO YOU DON'T!!!
Fine, I won't move to Japan, Mom. Relax.
very nice. thanks for sharing.
This looks great but beware...after many years of doing set painting for theatre, I dread anytime someone has used sharpies. They are impossible to paint over. Even Kills primer won't cover it. If you want to do this project, I'd recommend using water based paint markers. You can get them at any craft store.
That is so cool! I wish I could do that.
I love orange!! This is so creative! Check out this site. I have used and even bought some of the stuff off this site when I decorated my apartment down at school. It's www.squidoo.com/apartmentdecorations
Its really convenient and shares a lot of good tips!
I agree with Nydia, I would do it on a canvas if I would ever do it...It's a cool project, but I really don't want to upset my landlord
Yeah, sharpie is not easy to cover. So a neat idea, but maybe better suited to canvas or paper...
omg I finally found what I want to do with a wall in my kitchen. love love love!
