DIY Art

Our little hall has been really taking shape recently but the with the white walls and white floor it was looking a little bare. We didn't have any budget for pictures and so I decided to get a bit creative. I got some old ikea frames we had lying around and painted them white. I then got a selection of different coloured pieces of pastel paper from Paperchase and used some as backgrounds overlaid with bird shapes cut from contrasting colours. Given that this was a quick fix I am rather pleased with the results.

I wish I could show a proper view of the whole hall but as I said before it is very wee and as a result it is almost impossible to take a photo on our basic digital camera that takes in all the elements. These are my best efforts:
