painted constellations ceiling for kids room

[spacecake]

well i take it fibre optics is out of the way then probably way too expensive but they can create comets and shooting stars etc probably be able to create a supernova and the birth of new stars

I think a rotating projector type thing would be best. It will stimulate the childs mind and also act as a night light.

You could always ask your local artisan student to knock something up for you. Might be worth an ad at the local college.

It is, isn't it?

My son has loads of glow-in-the-dark stars in his room, but I'd love to do something like this.

Or a faint orange with loads of clouds, just so they can get used to the crushing disappointment.

You mean Jurassic Park isn't real?

I'm going to do this to the inside of my Obsy, at least I'd get some use out of it instead of a home for the spiders.

If you want to do it properly then you need a hemispherical ceiling, like this one in Florence (Old Sacristy, San Lorenzo) painted in 1442. And if you want to do it really properly then the centre of the sphere needs to be at the observer's eye. So you maybe need to move to an igloo.
