so i came across this old calendar i bought years ago after seeing a tony cragg installation in college (in particular, see tony's sculptures). oh yeah! i wanted to frame these! thus begins my quest to frame stuff i back-shelved (figuratively and literally) for later. it's like what sheryl says: it's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got. who knew i got good stuff!i love the collection of everyday found objects not only grouped by color, but by an overriding shape, theme and feel. the pink/purple vintage glam poster would look great in my girl's room - but which girl? gotta be THIS girl.
part two of framing the prints is creating artfully placed
vignettes around the house, showing them off. this green nautical/nature framed print i placed in my family room with my favorite celadon walls. taking some clues & inspiration from apartment therapy, i mixed scale and color and feel. the ballerina in front is one my daughter made from a diy kit (the one her mama spent a good summation of hours gluing the hair on the back of that flat head). placing this imperfectly-perfect found object here plays on the playfulness of the print and the casualness of our family (and the room it's named for).
mental trick:
calling this post "summer commitment" before summer begins makes me feel like i'm ahead of the game. i know, i need to fool myself sometimes. just go with me here...
