    One, two, three...Draw!

    Nope, not your guns.  Get out your pencil, paper, and a Pink Pearl.  You remember those, right?
    So I've been working on my gallery wall and filling up my frames!  I showed you a couple of quick and easy projects here and I have one more before the big Gallery Wall reveal!  I've been crushing over silhouette art but not really wanting to pay someone to basically print me a picture.  So I figured I could just draw my own!  Here are a couple up for grabs on Etsy:
    Choose Your Color: "Take a Seat"2011 Printable Calendar, Mid-Century Chairs
    I looked at tons of art and found my inspiration piece on Shutterstock:
    Drawing is simple.  Break your paper up into sections so you will be consistent in your scale.  Then, draw!
     When I started the project, I had a framed pencil drawing in mind since I didn't have colored pencils at home.  After I got it up on the wall, it ended up not looking quite right.  It looked a little more arts and crafts and a little less frameable.  On to plan B:  cardstock silhouette.
     I traced my finished chair and cut it out of some off-white cardstock I had on-hand.  I used my tried and true adhesive (Mod Podge) and glued my silhouette cutout to a piece of charcoal grey cardstock.
     I cut the cardstock to the size of the frame and ta-dah!  FREE art!  I love that pricetag!
    Oh em gee, get excited!  I'll have a completed bookshelf and gallery wall on Monday!  I better get to work!  Have a great weekend y'all!
