for the love of art

This blog is for any mom or grandma out there, who received a piece of art or special handwritten card yesterday. Before you crumple up, tuck away or secretly stash your precious gift, consider treating it as a valued piece of art.

Here's a piece my son did many years ago. Framed with IKEA, it takes pride of place over our bed (much to my daughter's disgust). I like to think my legs are a bit better than he imagined, but he did get my hair colour right!

Here are some more shots to get you thinking about your own little Picasso's....

These ever changing pieces are put into individual clear acrylic boxes...

I've shown this image before. I love the way the kids art is mixed with family photos...

A great way to have an ever changing display is to use clips...

You can do a whole wall of it for more impact...

I love this little strip of tack board - no need to line the whole wall....

Or how about wainscotting that incorporates cork board...

If space is an issue for you, take pictures of the art and keep it on display that way...

Or decorate your kids own room with it, they'll love it...

Whatever you do, enjoy it. No other artist will paint for you with such love.

I can’t get over how you seem to hit the head on the nail with all these ideas. I have been wandering down the halls of my son’s school loving all the colourful art and wishing I had it in my house and then I go on your site and there it is!  I am hitting IKEA soon and getting my son’s art up on my family photo wall.
