I’ve been wanting to re-decorate the wall behind my couch for a couple of weeks now. For the longest time the only thing I’ve had up behind there was a pretty large canvas I had painted. I like it alright, but kind of wanted a change. My roomie voiced his liking for the canvas so instead of moving it to another room in the house I decided to just add to the wall. Here are some of the newbies:
Top: SUKIE Cityscape ironed onto some yellow cotton fabric I already had.
Middle Left: I made this- embroidered cloud with rainbow rain on a recycled tee shirt.
Middle Right: I made this, too- cross stitch. Funny.
Bottom: This is one of the coolest things of all time… gotta get a photo of it by itself. My friend did themes for Christmas presents this past year, and my theme was (drumroll…) HELVETICA! One of my gifts was this (handmade) print of a quote from the documentary Helvetica (netflix it if you haven’t seen it). It says, “You can say I love you in Helvetica, You can say it with Helvetica Extra Light if you want to be really fancy”.
Top Right: My friend Brandi painted this bird! I love it so!
Bottom Left: Painted/embroidered fox, I made this when I was obsessed with foxes after I saw one running around late one night.
Bottom Right: House mini canvas (made this one, too).
And finally, this treehouse. Because I totally live in one. Another SUKIE iron-on, gray cotton fabric, cheap embroidery hoop.
lookin’ good! i love all the hoops. Once in a magazine I saw a wall with a bunch of hoops with vintage fabrics. I fell in love with it.
Love your new decor. When my son in-law decides to let go of that masterpiece you know that it will go in yall room back here in Baton Rouge. Love & miss you both!
Jill, I am also putting hoops on the wall in the kitchen next to the window! It’s a work in progress as of now.
Mom, will trade canvas for the three georges rouault oil pastel reproductions!
No way!
