Ages ago I bought some frames from the local thrift store. As soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to put artworks from the boys in them, and hang them in their rooms.
Add some colourful art (with some of my favourite colours no less - ahhh orange, yellow and bright green, how I love thee!) that the boys did all by themselves - they even selected what colours they wanted on their own pages - and you have for some happy art!

Not sure what I think of the framing job on Jellyfish's. I rather like the light teal circle around it - but the matte board covers it up. Should I take the matte board out of his frame?
I also got the last round of this done (don't ask me why it looks grey instead of blue)... soon I will be able to show you all, and I am just a wee bit excited about it. I'm getting to the end of the list of crochet items that I have to make before spring kicks in and I can get back to renewing my friendship with my sewing machine. I can't wait! :)
Hope you all had a wonderfully sunshiny day - it was glorious here - 24 degrees C ( I even have the slightly pinked cheeks and nose to prove it - not bad for a winter's day)!!!
And if you need more creative inspiration, head to OCS.
It's so lovely to have art like that to hang onto. I did something similar my eldest was very small. It's a fave. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a painting of similar style that I did for my great aunt. It's now come back to me and i do rather like having it around. Love the colours your boys chose !
ReplyDeleteReally neat to frame up littles art like that and can't wait to see what you are hooking there!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! In our house are more selfmade pictures of our daughter on the walls than other paintings ;)
ReplyDeleteYour artwork looks pretty good on the wall. Nice colors. The crochet on the picture makes me curious:) Hope you are fine?!
ReplyDeleteHere in Holland it is summer and it was also 24 degrees C. Now it is raining quite bad.
Love the idea of framming kiddies art. Makes them feel so good about themselves too. Cool frames
ReplyDeleteThe artwork turned out so cute! Love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog, also!
I hope you'll have a fabulous weekend!
