(Please forgive my camera phone image.)
I have really loved reading what others—Emily, Seth, Melissa, Nester—have written lately about creating art and/or surrounding yourself with things that are meaningful to you.
Nester's Gallery Wall
When I read Nester’s post at (in)courage today about creating a gallery wall, I decided that’s exactly what I need to do with some of that art that’s sitting on my computer waiting to be enjoyed. I pulled out my box of 5 x 7 Red River Paper and a frame I bought a few months ago; selected three images taken at Cades Cove on our 25th anniversary trip; and started printing. I even managed to do it without cutting a finger on the glass, which happens almost every time I frame.
We’ve run out of nails, so for now my three-picture frame is propped up on our hutch in the dining room, a good place to attempt a gallery wall since there are areas without a lot of traffic flow.
Do you surround yourself with the art you create?
Extra special thanks to the top five referring sites to My Home Sweet Home for February:
Thank you, ladies!
I love those blogs too. The art I create is in my backyard. And spring time is almost here! I’m so exctied I am beside myself!
Outdoor beauty is a wonderful thing to create! I’ve been excited to see our lilies coming up out of the ground. I wish I were a better gardener. 🙂
The pictures look wonderful! I really need to work on my living room. We are thinking about a pain color. From there, we’ll add new art. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just came across your blog and love it! I hope you will come by and visit!
Blessings
