For Cosmic Rooms Backyard Sky Glow Paint:
1. If you have a window in the room that lets in BRIGHT sunlight during the day, great! This paint can absorb sunlight all day long so the stars will glow all night long! Half hour before you plan on stargazing, turn on your room light or shine a bright light towards the ceiling for 10-15 minutes (up to 20 minutes). An ultraviolet lamp or black light is preferred and will work GREAT!
2. While the ceiling is being energized, make sure to block out any light infiltration, usually entered through a window or under a door. The darker the room, the better!
3. After the allotted time, turn off all lights and view the scene for 3-4 minutes as your eyes adjust to the darkness.
4. Close your eyes and cover them with one hand while you shine the light on the painting for 1 more minute.
5. Turn off all lights again and open your eyes. The stars should be much brighter now!
The stars will glow for up to 8 hours and will slowly fade away while you drift off into sleep. In some instances, the stars will still be visible during the morning hours if your room is dark enough. You can re-energize the painting every hour if you like it super bright as long as you can stay awake.
Remember, your eyes need to adjust to see low light levels. In other words, you may be enjoying the view just fine, until you leave the room, go into the brightly lit hallway, brightly lit kitchen, brightly lit refrigerator, and then go back to your bedroom. You most likely won't see the stars until your eyes have readjusted. This will be approximately 3-7 minutes. The time element gets longer as we grow older.
For Cosmic Rooms Deep Space Color Glow Paint:
Follow the directions above except that Deep Space Colors need a tube style blacklight to help "pop" out the colors in your new mural. These colors also glow but their glow time is less than the regular backyard sky glow colors. You will find that some colors glow longer than others, that's normal for the pigments found in specific colors. These are natural rare earth particles suspended in a translucent non-toxic no-voc acrylic base. Anytime you want to see the intriguing colors, just turn that blacklight back on to help illuminate it!

In honor of Dr Wayne Dyer, a great spiritual teacher who had tremendous influence on my life, he now shines brightly in the night sky watching over all of us :) Every mural I paint will now include for free a very large bright flared out star which I shall call the Dedication/ Guardian Star. For me I will affectionately call it the Wayne Dyer star but you can dedicate that star to represent anyone who was important to you that have passed away and is now lighting a sparkling path for the rest of your journey in this lifetime. My gift to you for your any size mural purchase from September 2015 to eternity... Get your mini Cosmic Rooms' version of the universe in a portable clear film Cosmic Poster overlay - Contact me for more info and pricing!  6/1/21: For the past 1.5 years, Covid pandemic has made it nearly impossible for myself and other small businesses to go out and provide the services we have chosen as our craft. Now that the state of Maryland has pretty much open back up, painting will slowly resume. If you have contacted me in the past year about a mural, I apologize for the delay in servicing you. The state of our country in the past year has left me in a rather uninspired mood. In order to create the best rendition of the universe for my customers, I need inspiration and calmness as my mood translates into my art. Just facts. If you are still interested, please recontact me using my contact form and let me know what you have in mind. Alternatively, you can always call and leave a voice mail or even send me a text message to my number and I'll respond as soon as I'm available. Thank you for your understanding and continued interest in my art.
