Art Prints

Well the update on the office is – nada. I ended up working on my kitchen and living room instead b/c we were having company over (the living room looks great)…. but I made no headway on the office. In fact, it’s now more junked up than before. I’m not looking forward to going through it but I will… eventually.

Anyway – I was looking at updating some frames this weekend and thought I’d purchase some photography since I seem to get tired of my own more quickly. I bought the first two below…

… and I’m still thinking about these other ones…

I promise to upload some pictures soon! The living room really does look much better… even the hubbs liked it.

Have a great Monday!

Etsy: vol25

Well I hope everyone else is having a great Friday. Mine is off to an interesting start! I lost control on some ice this morning and 360′d my way through some cars (didn’t hit anyone though). Whew! Anyway… I’d like to share the whimsical prints from vol25′s Etsy Shop! So cute and fun don’t you think? I love the range of type used… but then again I have a serious attraction to Typography!!

Hmmm... my fav is the clouds I think

Have a great weekend! — Ashley

Metallic Prints

My latest art purchase was my first time ordering metallic prints. For those of you who haven’t tried this printing style – I urge you to give it a go. I was surprised to see that, while my print actually had a strong metallic sheen when I took it out of the wrapping,  once I framed it – the shine became very subtle.  It’s almost undetectable when flat… so that it slightly enhances the print without overpowering it.

The background shapes seem softer while keeping the details sharp – the colors are deep and rich.

All in all – I’m pleasantly surprised!
