Art Ardor

One frustration I have with most art I like is that it is too small. I like big things on the walls; super big and small make good arrangements. Our house has *very* tall ceilings, so that helps feed my taste. But when you get around to putting things up on the walls, you find you don't have as much as you thought. Does that make sense?

Anyway, getting back to the original tangent that began this post, the trouble with art. I like it bigger than I can find it. So when possible, I make it. This is my latest production. I found a poster on pinterest, but I didn't like any of the colors or sizes.

This was also another "like it but i want it different" poster. It was a free printable, but I still didn't like any of the color combination choices or size. Just a bit bigger.....

I can come up with my own stuff. I made these paper doll art frames for the girl's room. And the dress is fabric modge podge'd on a canvas board.



I am in the process of making name buntings for all the kids. Once upon a time, I had planned to make one for each of them for Christmas. I made Eliza's in time for her birthday. I made this one for Grant in, like, 5 minutes. Mairyn's is still in the works, and there is *no*way* I am making Jacqueline's out of fabric. Her name is way too long.





So that's my anthology of 'Adventures in Art'. I don't think I'll ever be done. I wonder if I will get to the point when I can just open the boxes, unwrap the decor and throw it up on the wall? I don't know if I want to.
