Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy...and neither is creating this DIY Star Wars painting. One of my favorite things to do with my geek gals is paint. We have quite a few painting options here in Orlando, but one company offers the best for us geeks. Painting with a Twist is one I've done many times with friends. I loved painting Hogwarts with Karen and recently made a pretty bad ass looking Death Star with Liz. If you need to satisfy your nerdy painting needs, get thee to a Painting with a Twist.
