While looking at Style at Home from August, 2010, I came across an interesting article written by Bethany Lyttle.
The piece showcases an almost completely white guest space decorated by Colleen Sawatsky, in a vintage inspired West Coast cottage. On the white wall behind the classic, white slip-covered sofa is a beautiful piece of eye-catching art on canvas. The background of the artwork is white, with large-scale, graphic, fuschia pink flower blooms on stems blooming across the canvas.
Who is the artist? What exactly is that? What's going on here?
Upon closer look, the details state the origin of the art. It's made from beautiful fabric stretched over a frame. Oh my gosh.
This can easily be created by anyone. Simple, inexpensive and beautiful.
From Michaels craft stores or XS Cargo end-of-line stores you can purchase blank canvases stretched over frames. Check out the local fabric stores for beautiful designs or order fabric (made to match to wallpaper) from a wall paper store to stretch over the frame. Keep in mind the width of the fabric. You'll want it to be at least two inches wider all around the outside frame measurement so you have something to staple under at the back. When stapling, make sure to turn under the cut edge and keep it flat on the back so when it's hanging on the wall, it will hang flat.
That's it! Easy.
Beautiful, original wall art made by you, the artist!
