I wanted to make some artwork to put up in our kitchen redo, so I used different variations of the blue and red paint colors and came up with these pieces.   I used brushes in photoshop that I made from my artwork and used textures (free from Flickr) over the top so they have an aged look.  I had them printed in a 12×12 size with a matboard backing, so I won’t have to use a frame. 

I just need to figure out how I want to mount them on the wall.  I was thinking of gluing a ribbon to the backside of all of them, with maybe a tassel at the bottom and a ring sewn in the top of it.  I’ll see what I can conjure up.  I found some frames on Amazon.com that would look nice, too.  Decisions, decisions! 🙂

That’s as crafty as I got this week!  Maybe Carrie has something a bit more hands on…I’m not sure if computer stuff is really “crafty”.  😀

Brian said I need to figure out how to get my patterns on tiles.  If only it was easy to do that kind of stuff, right?  I did find a site that can put your image on a tile, so I’m looking into it.  I want to make sure they are putting it directly onto the tile and it isn’t an overlay.  I’ll make up a different design if we do go this route since then they won’t all be the same.  I know there is a way to put pictures on tiles with modge podge and acrylic sealer.  I don’t know how they would stand up to being a tile on a kitchen backsplash, but they are pretty as a display.
