I've made a start on a picture wall
This area is above the pine book shelf unit between the tall bookshelves and the patio doors out to the garden.
There were two hooks here already so I've just drilled a few more holes and put screws in and the smallest pictures are fixed by the sticky-backed velcro-type stuff that just clicks the pictures to the wall.
Still to go up is the unusual tile picture that I found the other day. It needs a deep frame of some sort. And there's room to add more whenever I find something small that I like.
The little tapestry bottom right is something I stitched years ago. The owl and the hare lino cuts came from an art show. All the rest came from car boot sales.....Amish Buggies, Stowmarket town centre, an old embroidered picture and two little hand coloured flower prints.
Thank you for all the comments yesterday.
Back Tomorrow

What a lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteYou're starting to make your house into a home. The art wall is looking good. xx
ReplyDeleteI stitched a similar fruit picture - mine is oranges, but the border pattern is identical.
ReplyDeleteI think it said it was a Roman tile? but it's an age since I stitched it
DeleteKeep them close together and at different levels. I remember the ones you bought at the Eye Art show when we went. It is looking very good.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than having odd small pictures dotted about.
DeleteBut all my bigger pics are dotted all around the bungalow where ever there was a hook.
I absolutely adore little wall art in a small collection, I have my own pinkish collection in my bathroom. Thank you for sharing x x
ReplyDeleteYou do have some nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the one of the little girl with geese. It has a William Nicholson look about it.
had to look him up but I see what you mean
DeleteI love your Art collection especially the Sunbonnet Sue picture I made several baby quilts with that pattern. My Daughter sorted out all by embroidery pictures I have one wall with Portland Bill pictures on it.

Pictures make a home so personal and interesting. I'm in the process of covering all the walls in my room with pictures - they may not look as artistically arranged as yours but every one of them makes me smile :) xx
ReplyDeleteCute!!!
ReplyDeleteA nice collection. I've used the Velcro picture hangers too for the family photo wall. Though in this "new to us" space it's spread now between windows. There wasn't one space large enough as there was in the last two apartments. Can't complain because I'm loving the number of windows - much like the house we built in '05 and moved from in '16.
ReplyDeleteI'd never used those sticky back things before but they seem really good for little pictures
DeleteLovely idea to have an art wall Sue - trouble is that all my walls are art walls.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of art, Sue.
ReplyDeleteI really love your lino prints. We'll be visiting Stowmarket next month.Arilx
ReplyDeleteI love your art wall Sue! I especially love the tapestry you stitched and the lino prints. I think I remember when you got the lino prints, they are truly striking!
ReplyDeleteYou have done an excellent job of lining everything up nicely. I can't for sake of me get pictures to line up! The velcro tape sounds like something I need
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. It will be fun to watch your picture wall grow. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your art wall and you'll be able to add to it as you wish. Like you, I am on the look out for pieces that resonate with me.
ReplyDeleteIt really starts to feel like home when the photos and artwork start to go up on the walls doesn't it. It looks really nice.
