Here are some interesting ideas for creating gallery-like picture walls. The idea is great in theory but can ending up looking a bit of a mismatch if you don't stick to a few simple guidelines. I always suggest you keep it to a simple colour combination - black and white is an obvious choice but the results are always successful. It's best to stick to one colour mount card - white of course and one single colour for the frames. Then to create interest vary the size and type of the frames and the size of the finished artwork. Then fun is then all in the hanging!
Just wanted to officially wish all of you moms, grand-moms, moms of furry critters, and even moms of fish and other scaled or feathered friends...a Happy Mother's Day!
I love this pic of my Mom, Grandma, and Uncle. The couch, the wallpaper, my Grandma's hair...yes, I had to Art Journal it.
I hope to be making a trip up north to see my mom fairly soon...after deadlines are met. And speaking of up north...check out the pics below.
Yes, my parents are making great progress on their cabin in the woods. It is coming along so fast...you can't dawdle when you know you've got to have it all buttoned up before another great white winter.
Kids, do not try this at home. Yes, that's my caraaaazy Dad laid out on the saw. Maybe he noticed a lack of magicians up there and saw an opportunity to fill a void in the market.
It's gonna be so cool when the cabin is done! Here's a rendering from the blueprints.
We're gonna go see Aaron's Mom a little later today to give her some little gifts we picked up in the city the other day.
Ok, if you are not acquainted with John Roberts, seen in the classic clip above...get to know him now! If you are familiar...then revisit this perfect little video and laugh your heart out. I have watched this a thousand times and maybe every other day you'll hear me or Aaron say "it's the one I wanted...the gift set."
And my very first boyfriend Mr. T, letting us all know how important our Moms are.
