Lyrical

In my nightly blog searching I came across this site that produces music lyric posters, and I'm in love.  I must have quite a typeface print obsession since I am drawn to this style after I recently bought my Seattle poster?!

You Can't Always Get What You Want...is a theme in our house.  Either David or I will start singing the lyrics to this Rolling Stone's song when something is being begged or whined for.  Maybe I'll buy this one?

Then again, the Beatles are always a classic.  Maybe it would be better if I instilled this into my kids heads.

I would love a row of these down the hall to my kids bedrooms.  Classic lyric posters.  

Then there is the other Art attraction of the week.  Samantha French, a painter that studied at the U of Minnesota.  Being a high school swimmer, and a beachy vacation lover I have a strong attraction to this painting...

Vacations, ahhh.  Wouldn't you be thinking about your last beach vacation each time you walked past this painting hanging on your wall?

The problem isn't that I don't know what I want.  Now where did I put that Mega Millions lottery ticket?

Paint Square

I happened on this Etsy shop the other day and am totally smitten.

Paint Square

This one is my absolute favorite, but at $800, it is a little out of my budget... 

Yesterday I went to the store and bought some balsa wood strips to make a mini version along this same idea.  I'm not sure how the colors I have chosen will blend, but this long four day weekend I am going to have a project!  Planned time!  And if my little version of this fails?  I am out $20 and will wait to see if one drops out of the sky to help out the blank wall syndrome in our house.

Cheap Artwork Tutorial

With this easy artwork tutorial the frame is the only cost.

This picture is made from paint chips from the paint counter.

The most complicated part of creating your artwork

is choosing the colors

and arranging them in a way pleasing to your personal color scheme.

The artwork shown has chosen to show each paint color's

name as part of the piece. I chose to hide the names and use only chips

that showed only color.
