I am FINALLY done with my inspired art!! I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been dying to do my own version of this design that I saw on The Pleated Poppy. After I finished my neutral wreath last weekend I finally sat down to paint.
I used two pieces of wood just like my thread holder and pushed them together. I used metal brackets on the back to hold the two pieces together. You could just as easily buy a sheet of plywood and have it cut to size (this would probably be cheaper) but I just used what I had lying around!Eventually this will be hanging above our bed in the bedroom.
My project differs from the original in that I painted on wood instead of canvas. I'm just a sucker for warm wood tones and bright pops of color!
This beast took FOREVER to complete - partly due to my ADHD and my general slowness. Totally worth the end product though!
Progress shots taken with my iPhone:
And now, feast your eyes on some eye candy, cause there's a TON!
Side note: These adorable ceramic egg crates are at World Market for only $4.99!! |
Cheers!!

I love the way this turned out! So colorful and fun. (I especially like how you left some open spaces in the design.)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it on the wood!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsey! Thanks again for the awesome tutorial!
DeleteI love all the colours. So bright and fun!! Did you use the Martha Stewart stencil to trace first? (I love that stencil!) You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to come visit me at http://blessedlifeatopacakestand.blogspot.ca
Thanks Kathryn! I didn't even know Martha Stewart had a stencil like that! I traced it out using a ruler and a cup just like Lindsey's tutorial.
DeleteHello Katie,
ReplyDeleteI really love your artwork. The colors on the wood look cheerful and warm and I think you have a beautiful object in your home to look at and to talk about.
Thank you!! I love the bright pops of color against the wood! I'm so excited to have this finished finally!
DeleteOoh, pretty! nice job :). And how adorable is that ceramic egg carton?!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it Katie!! You are one patient person;-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful colour choices and it all works perfectly!
Fun, I love it on the wood too! I have some wood already all glued and nailed together that would perfect for this! Thanks for the extra inspiration (I've loved Lindsey's forever!)
ReplyDeleteI have admired the original over at Pleated Poppy. Yours is super-cool too. I agree -- bright colors on the natural wood is a great combination.
ReplyDeleteFar out, this is gorgeous! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily!! I'm in love with this piece! Definitely going to have to make some more!
DeleteGosh Katie, that's beautiful!
