Then they look less "estranged" from one another and the individual items become sort of One Big Art, like a collage. Try to fit them together to make a perimeter shape that's pleasing.

Swap the middle picture with the lower left one. The blue green colors will then flow from lower left to upper right and lower right. That will pick up the green in the bottle. A little coppery patina on the switch plate to also pick up the color to pull it together. The color is asymmetric while the shapes are not. Everyone is happy. If it were me :).Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087443095546111733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-6087710704604182652014-01-20T14:23:32.136-05:002014-01-20T14:23:32.136-05:00Jen, great project as always!

You can always take one group like this (or maybe the next one) and JUST.DO.IT. Everything else could be very symmetrical and even and spaced out. Except for one group.

I'm a school teacher, and I've switched over to using that stuff for all of my classroom decorating purposes. I used to use sticky tack, but it never held up in the warmer months when it got humid (posters peeling right off the wall in the middle of a class) and sometimes it would actually leave almost an oily or greasy stain on the posters, even soaking through to the front. That 3M tape has worked the best - stays put as long as I want until I need to move it! without damage to posters or the wall.

That means that over the years, it will start damaging the prints, turning it yellow and brittle. For pieces that you know you won't want to keep all that long, that's fine. But if you're doing this for pieces of art that you really love and want to keep looking good, make sure that anything it touches is acid-free. It's more expensive than reusing some old cardstock, but it also won't destroy your artwork, either.Scott Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-66845144880723744052014-01-18T17:37:24.136-05:002014-01-18T17:37:24.136-05:00What a great idea (as your ideas always are, reall...What a great idea (as your ideas always are, really)!

I'd recommend starting with the long one in the center and placing the others based on it, since it can't help but look out of place.

May still be cheaper to tear apart a sale poster frame! Also, if you need an even cheaper and easier solution, you could use acetate sheets (think overhead projector sheets or page protectors, for you kids old enough to remember what either of those things are! or actual acetate sheets from the scrapbooking department) just to protect the artwork. Acetate is super easy to cut with scissors. You might have to double up your chipboard though, to fill out the book corner. Also, if your print ends up a little to heavy for poster putty, 3M makes command adhesive velcro now. One half sticks to the back of your art, the other half mounts to the wall with their removable adhesive strips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-31368309798164947562014-01-17T15:51:43.953-05:002014-01-17T15:51:43.953-05:00Ha!
