Home: Long Awaited Gallery Wall

This gallery wall has been a long time coming! I have wanted to make one for years, but sadly have never "owned" any walls. Now that Tom and I have bought our happy little home, I can hang things on all the walls! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I may add to it or change around, but I've got some fabulous pieces up there now. Want to see? Here it goes:

1. This is a little handmade piece of embroidery I did a few years ago of a little owl.

2. A flamenco lithograph piece I picked up in Madrid when Tom and I were there in 2011.

3. Being a proud Connell, I've got a nice silver C.

4. A painting I made of lyrics to "Inevitable" by Anberlin, which was our wedding song.

5. Early Teacher Rules given to me by a dear friend.

6. A painting of the Sagrada Familia I picked up on the Rambla in Barcelona.

7. A little heart painting I made a few weeks ago.

8. A print of "The Arnolfini Wedding Portrait" by Juan Van Eyke I got after seeing it at The National Gallery in London. I stood in front of it for a full half hour crying at its beauty. Yeah I'm a sad Art History major.

9. A little owl face done by Arty Farty in Canmore. Tom and I picked it up on our first year wedding anniversary.

10. My favourite wedding picture made into a canvas.

11. Tom got me this frame for Christmas last year, and I filled it with our family portraits from our wedding. I love Tom's Mum in red, right in the middle.

12. A metal skeleton key Tom and I bought in Segovia.

13. A painting I did of every Scousers favourite line.

14. An owl photo taken by the talented Jason Leo Bantle from All in the Wild Photography in Canmore.

Here are some progress photos to see how I did it:

So high tech!
