my dad and little brother came over this afternoon to help me hang this wall display. i mentioned the other day that i was making fake TTV photos (2 posts below) and this is what i used them for. i originally saw this idea via Tara's blog and have been planning it in the back of my mind ever since! I used LP Album frames for my photos (found on sale at Michael's a few months back for $5 each!). The photos are 12.5x12.5. I am always in such a happy mood after we do little home improvements like these. :)
(and you can see my thermos collection is still growing!)
(thanks yous to dad and doren. without you i would never have straight photos!)
here's a new painting that sold before i even had a chance to blog about it! i still wanted to share photos, though... i loved this one.
Tonight I am doing a senior photo shoot for Victoria's little sister, Krista.I haven't done one in a couple years, so I'm sort of excited. We are going to experiment with new ideas and probably take wayyyy too many photos! :) i like having one hobby that's just for fun. it's nice!
If you live in Springfield, it's ArtWalk night and my friend Will is having his first show at the Front Porch on South street!
XOXO. elsie

Elsie,
I don't usually comment but today I must!
that wall display is fantastic.
Do you get your prints done locally or do you order them out online somewhere? I am looking for a good source.
have a fantasic weekend!

The new photo display is amazing. And oh my, my how much I LOVE your newest painting. Oh how I wished you were about to get prints of it. I'd really love to have something like that for my craft studio.

Fun display! I love the pics. {I look forward to reading your blog updates on a daily basis.} I have a picture display on my dining room wall as well -- lots of different sized frames and favorite postcards thumbtac'd in between.
Question: When you paint, how do you get such nice bold lines? Do you use a flow agent in your paint, or is it the brand of paint you use? Just wondering...
