DIY Art

November 13, 2011 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I recently posted about finally adding shelving and frames to my bare living room walls.  Since then, I’ve added a piece of art to one of those frames that I am totally and utterly in love with!  I’d say my design style is modern-meets-vintage-meets-pottery barn…not sure it that has a name by we’ll just call it “Kelly-Anne chic”.  In light of this theme, I created a DIY print of a deer head silhouette on a gray chevron background…

My dad and step-dad, both avid hunters, would be sooo proud!
I found a picture of a deer head online and imported it into Photoshop, filled it in with the plum color, and placed it on a chevron background.  I needed a 12×12 print, which my printer at home can’t do, so I went to Staples and had them print it for $8! Not bad for a custom piece of art work!

I’m trying to infuse the plum color into the living room through accessories and art because I think it looks nice against my gray-green couch, which is why I chose the colors in the print. The other photos are of family, but I still have a few empty frames left with which to fill with the same plum and gray color graphic prints to tie the whole scene together.

    Hi! I love your artwork. I just saw it as I was looking back to find the deer template I used when I made a similar project on canvas a few weeks ago. My project tutorial will be posted this coming Tuesday and I'll give your project a shout out too! I love the chevron and the plum color!

    Sweet…the deer head prints are big this season. I'm working on one now, with book pages as the background. Guess it would have been way less messy to import it into Photoshop and then just print it. Duh. Guess I'm stuck with the mod podge on my hands (and carpet) for now!
    Cheers!

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with my sweet girl! We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
Happy Easter from our (reluctant) Bunny Stanley 🐶 and our happy little Reese’s-loving gal!! 🥰

We had a small family party while in Maine and I had so much fun putting together all the details! My favorite part of the decor was making the cake toppers to put onto a plain white bakery cake (I also added some fresh strawberries). I printed some strawberries and flowers on card stock and glued them to wood skewers. I made the pennant flags and bunting out of fabric from Joannes and used the same gingham for the table runners. It brings me so much joy to put together a little birthday party for my sweet little girl! Watching her grow and seeing her personality blossom is the greatest privilege of my life…she’s the best thing to ever happen to me! 

And on that note, Happy Birthday, C, and Happy New Year to all of you!
