Way back when I first started working at the Vintage Shed, Bec my Vintage Girl partner had a piece of art that I always admired but at around $800 it was out of my price range..I had always wanted to to do my own version and finally after three years managed to get it done and I would say it took around 2 hours and the only real cost I had was the frame- around $50 from Ikea.. I couldn't be more happy with the result ..

 

here is the original inspiration

 

 

 

 

this is my version..

 

 

 

this is how I did it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(please excuse the bad photography! )

 

 

I really enjoyed the whole process- taking my time, mixing and choosing the colours( I used watercolours).. I plan to group it together in our hallway with a few other smaller prints- hopefully it won't take me another 3 years to do that !

 

I hope you are enjoying the weekend- I am resting up ..I got a little carried away in the last week forgetting that it was only three weeks ago that I had an operation and am feeling a little bit sore and sorry for myself as a consequence.. Luckily its cold outside , the perfect reason to turn the heating up and get cosy..
