Look! Alicia's Paper as Art

You may remember the House Tour we did of Alicia's Portland house last year. Although there were a couple of photos of her stairwell, we didn't see photos of this colorful art in her hallway until we caught a peek on her blog.

It's great how just a little bit of paper -- in this case, pieces of scrapbook paper -- can be turned into art. (Other ideas are here and here.) We especially like the impact of multiple pieces hung together.

See Alicia's blog for more inspiration.

What a great display! Leave it to my fellow Portlander to post something like this---an expression of color and pattern that is uniform in presentation and inspiring in the stairwell.

These are wonderful, but I'm even more charmed by the embroidery hoop swatches. Maybe it's their unlikely roundness for framed color, but those are the pictures on her blog that most delight (of a host of delightful images!). Hers look even better than the ones at Purl.

Inquiring minds want to know how Alicia got the grid perfectly aligned.

Put down a grid of painters tape first to represent the 'grid' of empty space between the pics- then measure where the hanger should be based on where it is on the picture( it's faster of course if all the frames are the same)hang all the pics first to make sure it's correct-remove them, remove the tape,and then re-hang!!

Nice looking, easy to change out and inexpensive. Love it and am stealing it this weekend! Where did you find the paper that you used?

Thank you, bball! We haven't tried that method yet.
