A GORGEOUS new banner.
I am SO incredibly excited about this post. I get to share with you my new HEADER! Seriously look at it. Are you not in Love? It’s ridiculous. I have always just made text headers, which are cool. But, the idea of having something really fun and custom to me and my blog was always something I wanted to somehow get up there.
Mallory contacted me with the idea of painting my bags a while back, and I was so excited to see what she would come up with. I could not imagine what it might look like but was pretty anxious to see. When I first saw the finished art, My heart was all a flutter. It feels incredible to see my bags so gorgeously represented in watercolors.
It’s just amazing. The detail she got on the doily?!?!?! I don’t even know how to express how beautiful I think that it is. I feel so established. I have artwork done of pieces I’ve made. Incredible.
Thank you, Mallory. Your creativity and artistic vision inspire me. I am so excited to know you and to have worked with you on this exchange. I can’t wait to continue to watch and follow all of the amazing things you will do.
Printable artwork.
So, recently I have discovered the JOYS of printable artwork. All I ever have are photos or mirrors hanging on my walls (vain much?). After reading a post over at Harper’s Happenings, (this post to be exact: how about yes) I went through all the printable art on How About Orange and found some super cute stuff to print. I later ventured beyond and went on my own quest looking through other sites for high resolution printables (not a real word, I know). I’ve turned into a crazed printing, framing, hanging machine. I have them printed at CVS and I’ve even begun to cut my own matting for some of them, because those can be pricey, and sometimes a matted print looks just so much more, I don’t know, something.
my gear all laid out. the matting making is way easy! I just used an exacto knife and a ruler, while using an actual matte as a guide or tracing one out myself.
a pile. all to be hung after the living room gets painted. Lots of Kukula. I plan to actually buy some of her work as soon as I can afford it. Same goes for any artwork in general. I really am longing for some real paintings or artwork, that does not require hiding behind a sheet of glass. I have a few paintings my grandmother did that I love. And I have recently purchased a few pieces from Etsy, they will get a separate post. But, I would LOOOOVE to own something by Kukula or Mark Ryden. Someday….
just a few examples, throughout the apartment:
