Although my house is getting closer to completion, I still have a few bare walls which need some colour, namely the walls in my living room. These happen to be some largest wall spaces I have in one area, and thus have been quite tricky to decide on a plan to fill them.
After buying some beautiful lillies the other day an idea struck me on how to fill one of those walls – and on a budget to! It took a few weeks to execute, but I think I now have the makings of some great diy art. Now you will have to imagine these prints individually framed and evenly spaced on a large wall:
Now I can’t decide between using the above versions, which have been ‘boosted’ colour wise, or the below versions which are more true to life:
I still have some fine-tuning to do to the pictures, to make them more uniform but I like where they are heading. In order to photography the lillies I kept them in the same space and tried to take the photo at the same time of day each day. If I can’t get the consistency I am looking for with these shots (in terms of having them the same size, similar shadows etc) I may try the experiment again – but this time set up my camera on a tripod and don’t move it for the entirety of the flowers life. The problem with this however is I won’t be able to use my camera for anything else.
Either way hopefully soon I will have at least one problem wall filled some with art – and as you will see in a just under a month – it will be one of my 25 before 25 items to fill all my walls in my home with art I love. Stay tuned for the final product – hopefully it won’t be far off.
