More $4 Art Inspiration

Lenya from 7 Year Wedding had a nook in her dining room that was feeling a little drab. She scanned in some trellis scrapbook paper and had it made into an engineering print like I did here.



I love the texture the graininess of the printing process gives to the look. It's especially good layered with a pretty mirror!


Great job Lenya!!

    Wow, that's so pretty! I love how light the pattern is - I almost didn't notice it at first because of all the other stuff on the mantle, but it definitely adds to it. I love this!

    What a smart idea - just copying a pattern rather than an image! I have a swatch of vintage fabric from my grandmother's stash that would be a perfect candidate! Thanks, as always for the great inspiration!!!

    Thanks Jenny for posting this and of course, for your inspiration that started it all! For those that are after the mirror details. I got it from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Global-Views-Sunburst-Mirror-Gold/dp/B000YZGBOA/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336099575&sr=8-3-spell) They wouldn't ship to Australia so I had to send it to a family friend and then my poor dad had to bring it back with him from the US! What a guy :)
