a quick project
I used to have a tryptich of old poster art cut out from a calender hanging here, in these same frames; I had it for years, then one day I got so sick of it I just took it down and the wall spent about 3 more years totally bare.
I finally bought some Echino prints at work and put them up. In fact, I bought them yesterday and they are on my wall today. Amazing. The fabric is cotton/linen and there are birds!
It doesn't look as crazy-awesomesauce as I had hoped, but it's cute and definitely an improvement on having nothing. And my walls are really not quite that barf color in real life.
To mount them, I cut foam core board to size and sewed the fabric pieces over it as I would for a piece of embroidery, then I left the glass out of the frames when I put them in.
