Several weeks ago, I was looking for some inspiration for monthly craft night so I headed to pinterest. I was struck by several words made up of individual photos of letters. I had been pondering how I could do something similar myself and by a stroke of luck, I was walking downtown in the old market and noticed some of the awesome letters painted on bricks and store fronts. Photo walk craft night was born.
We (Melissa and I) headed to the Old Market after work to get our photog on. I wasn’t sure this would work out, but I was pleasantly surprised! They turned out pretty darn good!
Here’s some of my fav’s…
I love the font on this one, the color, and the little imperfection from the chipped bricks in the upper left.
I love how the bricks come through on this one.
How cool is this A?!?!
It was so easy to do, I don’t have a fancy camera, just a normal Canon point and shoot (though macro mode is vital for this). Once I collected all my photos, I uploaded them using Picnik to crop and resize and then I sent them off to Walgreens to order. I was originally going to do black and white, but I thought the colors all kinda flowed together.
This project was super easy and super cheap! Now, I need a 4ft long frame so I can hang my masterpiece on the wall!!!
And all together now!
I’ve liked this idea for awhile. We started taking some awhile back and then got stuck…and then forgot about it. Excited to see your final product!
Thanks Michelle! I figure I’ll wait until I get it framed for the “big reveal”
I was just too excited to not give a sneak peek!
Love it! But why don’t I see an S represented?
hahahaha, I think I’m going to take a picture of an E and then use my ampersand for an S & E to hide my flub
