DIY Wall Art - Inspirational Quote

Life is a Journey Not a Race...

Over the last year and leading into 2015 I have started preparing to expand my jewellery into the Wholesale world. Its a big process and takes considerable time to revamp all your products into collections, remake everything and create a catalogue suitable for wholesale and there have been days when I have felt a little dispirited at the lack and progress.


So I needed a little pick me up and took a break to create a little visual inspiration to remind me to have patience and that nothing comes to us instantly. I love creating digital products so this is always a treat for me and I find it infinitely relaxing.

This quote spoke to me the most so I made it into a digital image to mount on a canvas board. I used an inexpensive painting board from a discount store and had my images printed at my local officeworks on matt photo paper.

I attached the image using a good layer of Mod Podge or any glue that won't cause the print to buckle. Once dry I sealed the image with 2 coats of Mod Podge again to protect it from wear and tear. Although this is not necessary with photo prints, it means that I can wipe them clean with a wet cloth over time and the moisture is not likely to buckle the prints as there is no protective glass as there is a traditional frame.

Now the prints sits on my studio wall to keep me on track when impatience and the feeling of frustration that comes with slow progress sets in.
