DIY Artwork

Last night when I had a couple of minutes, I pulled the Easter-specific décor. I'm leaving the rabbits, birds and general springtime items for a couple more weeks before replacing everything with the patriotic collection. Putting away an Easter print left me with an empty space in need of something seasonal, so I decided to make my own artwork! Using a recent close-up picture of our dogwood tree and an app, I made the framed print shown on the shelf below.




I snapped this photo
and it turned into this print.
You can do the same thing! Waterlogue is a wonderful software which allows you to transform one of your photos into a work of art. It's easy peasy and affordable! For $3 (one-time fee), you can download Waterlogue to your phone or PC and begin your creativity with a simple click of a button. You may recall when I first shared this app in July of '15 (click here). The possibilities are endless! For larger sizes or higher quality prints, you could rely upon the services of a print shop. I simply printed my 8 by 10 at home on our printer, though. It's the perfect touch I needed for the shelf and relates well to the dogwood on the mantel and to the dogwood tree outside the nearby window.



You don't have to spend a lot of time or effort for your décor. You may want to check-out Waterlogue. I believe if you go to their website, you can take advantage of a free trial. If you try it, let me know what you think!
