I talked recently about my own struggles with adding art to our walls. DIY art has become my best friend. I have always loved art with handwriting or type. I've always wanted to make one since I saw Elise's awesome painting.
I made this painting with some Queen lyrics (wedding song—awweee) in about 30 minutes one night. It was 30 minutes well spent, because this simple painting will live in my home for a long time. I love it!
The method is simple. Choose lyrics that you love, gather black acrylic, small paint brushes paint and white canvas, paint the words on in a messy cursive font. That's it. It's the perfect project to do while listening to records or watching a movie.
Handwriting paintings group really well with other paintings. I like using them to add a bit of pattern to my space. Next, maybe a whole wall? xo. Elsie
STUNNING!!
I love this – did one with Al Green lyrics and posted about it on my blog!
I stumbled upon your blog a couple of weeks ago and I am in love. I tackled this particular project last weekend using lyrics from a Ben Fold’s song that is significant to my husband and I. I love the way that it came out, and it was the perfect “starter” DIY project for a relatively new DIY-er! It gave me some confidence to try other things! Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love this idea! Really cute! And you chose a great song 🙂
inspired by your painting i’ve done it…but on a pillow! 🙂
hope u like it (i’ve linked you on the blog as inspiration!)

that is such a fun idea and it will be something very close to the heart… and it would take some guts for world to see my handwriting and my choice of song. But then again, its for me and thats what matters 🙂 thanku for this awesome share.

This is such a great idea!
I’m a photographer and Ive been wanting to put art on my walls, but didn’t want to put a bunch of my photographs, since it’ll just look too vain so this is the perfect little idea to do for my bare walls!

this is a ridiculously brilliant idea! i just wish i was artistic enough to try it myself.
i’ll save this post in my favourites in case one day i decide i’m the next van gogh and wanna give it a go.
(also, good choice with Queen. That’s the song i want for my wedding song as well so it appears we are one and the same!)
have a lovely day!

I love the idea that you can personalize it to your own style. Different song lyrics, or even a poem that you love.
Thanks for reminding me of the original post!
