staircase art
Joellyn Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 4:27PM I recently tackled a project that cost me nothing other than a bit of time.
In my college Photography 101 class I did a project that involved shooting (and developing) a series of photos. I did my project on "Old Montana" and had fun shooting relics and landmark buildings as we drove across the state on a road trip.
The photos aren't anything to brag about, but they are meaningful to us and worthy at least of the cheap frames I bought for them a long time ago.
To make the collage a little more interesting, I added a couple of quotes that related to the "old Montana" theme. The letters came from an interesting novelty item I thrifted awhile ago. It is a box of letters used for old-time movie titling, complete with adhesive and a black felt background. The box sits on my craft room shelf, and even though I thought it had artistic merit on its own, I thought it would be fun to actually do something with the letters.
I tacked the letters up with glue dots, so they can be easily changed if I tire of the phases.
I'm happy with how my little vignette turned out!

Super cool! I love the letters. I want.
Very nice, Jo!
Awesome! I really like it! :)
love that! i love how the photos are on both walls depending which direction you are heading too!
You are so talented...as in putting ordinary things together and making them a lovely focal point. Your talent also lies in seeing the potential in things like the lettering set
I love how it turned out! You did an incredible job there and those photographs are really great. Your staircase looks so elegant, it's hard to say that you did it all by yourself and you did not spend anything. You're very talented, I really look forward to see more of your projects. Keep it up!
