           : So, as you can see from the title, this

           : blog is for a bias swap :raised_hands: it's my first

            : time participating in one, and I think

           : it's a super cool concept!

           : I bias swapped with the wonderfull

           : moon, so thank you for taking the

           : initiative and suggesting this :blush:

           : Moon has 2 biases, Elly and Suyeon.

           : I'm not sure why, but I decided to go

            : with Elly. Guess I just felt like doing

            : something Elly themed 🤷‍♀

           : This is what I came up with

           : Now onto how I made it ➜

──────── ☆⋅★⋅☆ ────────

    1.

         I cut out a square piece if wood in the size

         I wanted. I also used some sandpaper to

         go over the edges and corners to make it

         nice and soft and get rid of any splinters.

    2.

        I painted the wood black with acrylic paint

         and found a picture of Elly I wanted to use

         for the siluette (bless the shared folder on

         WEMEA). I printed that and cut it out. Then

         I placed it on the piece of wood and drew

         the outline of it with a pencil.

    3.

        Then I used a gold marker to paint the

         outline. You could have used gold acrylic

         paint here, but I just used the marker

         cause that was the easiest.

    4.

        Then I filled in the silhouette with gold

         acrylic paint. This took some time because

         it needed about 4 coats in order to

        become opaque. This is of course

         because the background is black, but a lot

         of metallic paints also seem to be a bit

         sheer, so that could be why too.

    5.

        This is the part that took the longest. I

         wrote the lyrics to "Metronome" with a

         black permanent marker on the golden

         siluette. I used the edge of a piece of

         paper to make sure that I kept the lines

         straight. I chose Metronome because it's

         one of my favourite songs at the moment,

         it's so good!!! :scream:

        It looks a bit strange to me that the writing

         switches between hangul and the latin

         alphabet :sweat_smile: But that's how the lyrics are

         and I don't think it's too bad considering

         that it's just a background to have the

         effect of writing.

    6.

        I wrote Elly's real name over it with a black

         permanent marker. Because I wanted this

         to be super clean and sharp, I printed out

         her name, cut it out and traced after that.

    7.

        Now comes the scary part, but also the

         most fun :raised_hands: I hammered in nails around

         the silhouette and in pentagon shapes

         above her, making sure that the nails

         were approximately at the same height.

    8.

        Lastly, I used some yarn to connect the

         nails to make an outline and some stars.

        And then it was finished :tada:
