Digital Art Prints

February 20, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I’ve been slowly but surely making my way into the world of digital art design.  I’m by no means an expert in the digital arts, but I’ve taken what I do know coupled with color inspiration from fabrics like pillows and bedding, and started designing a few prints for decor around my house. 

The colors from a pretty floral fabric that I’ll be using for pillows in my living room were the inspiration for my ‘Quick Fox’ print!  The phrase ‘The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog” uses every letter from the alphabet…I thought it was a fun and whimsical print to put next to the bookshelf since it has to do with typography, and well, so do books!

Using the same colors as the print above, I created the ‘Every Little Thing’ print with a navy, lime, and teal combination. It’s a gentle reminder to take a deep breath and relax!  I think the colors and phrasing would make this a great print for a gender neutral nursery or kid’s room!

I created the ‘French Days of the Week’ print using colors from a bedspread in the flip house, but the print ended up being the perfect splash of color in the bathroom! This print is 12×12 in size.

And finally, a new take on an old classic… “Keep Calm and Craft On” was created to hang in my office/craft room!

All of the silver frames throughout my house were from the Ribba series at Ikea!  Inexpensive and modern, can’t go wrong with that!

 I have one more print to share and it is near and dear to my heart…
It’s the silhouette of my beloved kitty, Cooper, who passed away on December 1st.  I still miss him dearly every day but this is a gentle reminder that he will always be with me…one more way to honor his presence in my home!

Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! 😍💗

Please don’t be fooled, though…these are close up shots for a reason- the house is FULL of moving boxes, piles of stuff to be organized and put away, and the DIY project list is LONG! 

But finding small little pretty corners is bringing me a little bit of joy and I hope they do the same for you, friend! 💗🙂#
I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” d I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” decorate,  but we needed some functional storage and a “drop zone” near the entrance we most use so I threw together this little area with things I already had…and the best part is, everything is thrifted! 😍 

Eventually, I’ll put wallpaper above the beadboard and will give the fireplace a makeover. But for now, just trying to tackle the endless boxes to unpack and breakdown (peep that pile of cardboard at the end of the video)!!
Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in th Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in the works for a while but I wasn’t quite sure how/when/what I wanted to share. If you’ve been here since my Maine days, you know just how much I enjoy sharing all things DIY and home decor and I’m looking forward to doing just that. 

I know questions will inevitably arise about the circumstances of this move but I will likely keep those details private. We are still in Virginia, not too far from the farm, and are settling into our new routine. 

In true ‘Crafty Teacher Lady’ style, this house is a fixer upper, just like most of my previous homes. It’s in a lovely neighborhood in an adorable town and I’m excited to make some happy memories here as I turn this little house into our home! 
 
C requested pink walls (which I obliged) and Stanley has also already come to visit a few times during family movie nights and he has given his ‘seal of approval’ to the fenced-in backyard! 🤣🥰🐕 

More to share soon (likely in stories) as I continue to tackle my very long list of home projects! 💗
