INSPIRATION BOARDS

After I posted up the eye candy inspiration board yesterday I found some others I liked as well and thought Id share a collection with you! I never get tired at looking at this sort of thing, in fact I have about 5 'boards' up in my place! Its art for the soul :) Check out the Flickr Pool for Inspiration Boards; there are some good ideas!

D.I.Y - HANGING FRAMES

Ever hammered a nail into your wall in a fit of spring-sprucing only to stand back and realise your picture is completely off centre or ridiculously high? problem solved with brown paper and painters tape! I've heard about this old trick and next time I hang a frame it will be a must to avoid people thinking someone put a very tiny fist through my wall. And even if you are going with the more sensible 3M Sticky hook it's still the perfect way to plan out the balance of your artwork collection.

TIP Don't have either brown paper or painters tape? Try wrapping paper and blue tac.
