My darling daughter’s bedroom remodel has been a work in progress for sometime. Finding artwork to satisfy my daughter’s taste has been a bit challenging. So what to do? Make your own wall art.
I sat down with a sketch-pad and lightly penciled out four different flowers designs.
To make sure the art work matched with her decor, I used the blue wall paint used on one wall. Slightly diluting the paint with water, I sponged the blue color inside my pencil outlines. Add a few dots with the other end of the paint brush. While the paint is still wet, add white and black paint (to give some dimension and depth).
After the paint has dried, I scribbled around the center of the flower and round the outside with a black Sharpie marker.
Because history repeats itself, I couldn’t find frames to fit. :-)
I did find 12x12 frames at Hobby Lobby (50% off!!!) and because this size was to large than the prints, a zebra scrape paper was used to filled the gap.



















Very cute idea. I love how you added the zebra print, it works really well!!
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing! Have you considered making more and selling them, maybe on Etsy?

UN. BUH. LEEV. ABLE. These are gorgeous! They look like high end prints found from some high end shop. They truly are stunning. I love how you simply sponged wall paint right on. The scribble marks? Genious.
