the escapist

i keep changing my mind ... and i think it's due to the fact that i have an insane amount of free time right now.   a couple days ago i posted the little fun DIY project i wanted to do for our bedroom (see post here) ... but i decided to do something simpler because: 

 a. i don't want to spend extra money buying more paint & paper

 b. i don't want to spend extra money framing them.    

c. i don't want to spend extra money. 

d. i want something less cheery & less colorful.  (i know ... weird. but i like the idea of a calm + peaceful bedroom)

so i used the paint colors that i had, the paper that i had, and the pretty frame that i had & created a simple artwork using the line from me + husband's song ... coldplay's the escapist (have a listen here).  

i printed the font in the size i wanted + i exacto-knifed the letters

then i painted over them ... just as you would a stencil.


husband + i both love that the letters aren't so perfect.  and that's what makes it hand-made + original.  

a simple + non-overpowering piece of artwork for our bedroom.
