I decided to cut each word or sentence out so that I could choose the placement myself. I have a projector that I bought years ago at Hobby Lobby. It has come in handy for many projects. It's great for tracing images onto walls or canvases. All you need is a dark room and you are set to go...
I didn't know how all the wording was going to fit on the canvas, so I just freely moved around each word/sentence till I liked the way it looked. I loved the word UNLESS very large at the top. Of course, it would be better to measure this all out before hand,..but I never do things that way. HA! Then I started tracing...
I didn't think it looked bad so I left it that way. Plus I was just happy it all fit!!
Since my bedroom is painted pink I decided to decorate the room with touches of gold and silver. I have never like gold in the past but it's really grown on me. Someday I will get the room done and you will get to see it. I love the gold paint! It's so pretty. Here you can see the painting after one coat of paint...
I still have some pencil marks to erase. My O's got a little crazy. ;) It was hard to keep it perfect. I am happy with it though. I prefer just hanging my own paintings in my home or photographs I have taken.
Great addition! I love adding personal painted touches to my home!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! I love the color choice too. I love wall quotes!!
ReplyDeleteCan I steal this? We watched The Lorax several months ago and seemed to have problems in the home. It definitely was that one (of the few) movies that helped ease out some troubles.
ReplyDeleteMy version will look different, but I'm totally adding that to my home for the next time we decide on having a fight (and not between David and I, just because we live with my fiance's father).
I love how this turned out! I am a big fan of topography that fits your personality and the things you believe in. I have written word art all over my house.
ReplyDeletewow you are talented! I love it :D

I love this quote! I have some of my and my husbands work in the house as well as art from people we know, including my husband's grandfather who was a painter. I like having a personal connection with every piece, although we do have a few treasured vintage op shop finds on the wall too!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Jessie! I have been known to borrow a quote or two to make my own word art digitally...pinterest is a fabulous source of inspiration. A quote I really like is
ReplyDeleteSometimes I get sad
And then I stop being sad
and start being AWESOME!
With each line in different sizes and fonts. Makes me smile whenever I look at it.
So much fun and photoshop lets you "play" to your hearts content!
Perfect is stupid. This is really pretty! I read your 'review' on the lorax and I'm definitely going to watch it :) xo
ReplyDeleteJessie! I love this!!!! I used to use a projector too, but my projector went by the wayside during one of my many moves, lol. I never plan either, I'm too impatient. I just eye ball things. I can't wait to see this in your bedroom, I love the combination of gold and pink.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I already told you, but I loved the Lorax! I watched it about 10 times! I think KidRobot should produce the Lorax and the forest animals as vinyl toys.
That looks fantastic. Well done
