Cosmic ukulele. DIY / handicraft / create beautiful things

I really love cosmic theme. I am not an artist, but space is one of those things, that is interesting and easy to express in graphic form.

One day, a one man angrily hit my ukulele and broke her fretboard. Later he apologized and paid me to buy a new one, but I was never able to part with the broken ukulele, which was with me on many trips and was my true friend.

So I decided to glue it, but the glue spread and it turned out very sloppy. Then I realized that I need to draw something on it. I had acrylic paints and I decided to paint it in space style.

I used a sponge for washing dishes, I step by step applied different colors: blue, purple, dark blue, black. Then I dipped the toothbrush in white paint, pre-moistened with water, and began to draw stars spraying them, swiping my thumb on the surface of the bristles forward-backward. I also drew the sun in the center of the soundboard.

And finally I varnished it. I read that the sound quality of the soundboard is greatly distorted after painting, but surprisingly the sound became extremely interesting, ringing and at the same time deep.

it fits well into my interior
