So, I finally got to work gluing the stars to the board!  I had to cut the posterboard to the right size, but it's all good.  I used hot glue to adhere the stars to the board, which works better than glue which might strip some of the paint.

Here's the current progress!  Will be putting up some more pictures in a little bit.  This is about 23% complete and has 1,618 stars out of 6,952.

Sadly, the white posterboard kinda drowns out the colors.  I should've bought a black one instead.  Lesson learned, and will take that into consideration for the next one I'm planning.

I had to repaint the dark orange stars as they were blending in with the orange too much ( you can't really see them much from this distance)  and I now have to do the same for the lavender ones that make up the outline of the butterfly.

I kinda want to do something about the background to make it black but with so many stars already on it it's just not worth painting in between and possibly getting black on the stars. I wonder if there's anything I could do that won't damage the stars...

Well, sleep time for now.  Looking forward to more star stuff tomorrow!
