"  Project excerpted from DIY Art at Home: 28 Simple Projects for Chic Decor on the Cheap   Total time to complete: approximately a half day Technique: hand-printing   Main Materials \u2022 2 white canvases on 11 7\u20448&amp;quot; x 23 5\u20448&amp;quot; (30 x 60 cm) stretcher frames \u2022 1 white canvas on 23 5\u20448&amp;quot; x 23 5\u20448&amp;quot; (60 x 60 cm) stretcher frame \u2022 1 No. 14 to 24 large brush \u2022 1 No. 8 or 10 small flat brush \u2022 Acrylic paints: indigo and white \u2022 1 tube of acrylic binder \u2022 1 potato   Other Materials 1 craft knife (or 1 small kitchen knife)    1. Hand-Stamp: 5 minutes   Using the craft knife or a small kitchen knife, cut a triangle out of a peeled potato to make a hand-stamp, with a &amp;quot;handle&amp;quot; to hold on to.     2. Painting: 30 minutes / Drying Time: 1 hour   Paint the background of each canvas with indigo paint and the large brush. Dilute the paint a little with acrylic binder so that the paint adheres better to the canvas. Let dry. To make the first row of triangles, apply a little paint to the stamp with the small brush to obtain an even result. For a stronger color effect, dip the stamp directly into the paint and apply it to the canvas.     3. Painting: 1 hour / Drying Time: 1 hour   Continue to add rows of triangles to the canvas one above the other, alternating the density of the white paint. For a true pyramid effect, each white triangle should have a corresponding inverted blue triangle above it; follow the pattern as shown.   Final Tip Don&amp;#039;t try to make the background paint totally uniform. You&amp;#039;ll find that slight color variations will enliven the design and break up the overall geo-metric effect.
