a little project
So I have been feeling bad about the fact that I don't have a lot of religious art in my home. I know it is important, I would like to, but I need something that I think is beautiful and works in my home too. I know this is a very proud, un-christlike reason for not hanging religions things, but it's how I feel. I would love a carl bloch sketch or something, but for now I have decided to take some vintage pics of the temple to frame for my house, and maybe even sell on etsy or give as christmas gifts. We'll see how they turn out first though. =)

sometimes i swear you and I have the same brain. This very thing has been on my list for oh, six months or so. I just don't have time to do it. Plus I havent been to Utah in a while and that is the temple I want to use since G and I were married there.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Lovely as usual. I hope mine turn out half as pretty! If I ever get to it. Heck, maybe I should just buy yours!! :)
you are mormon?! yeah couldnt tell last time when i was over;)
ReplyDeleteseriously, these are so pretty though. id proudly have them in my home.
Seriously, if you sell these, I want to buy some! Sadly, I am the same way about religious art.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful and I feel the same way. david's grandma painted for the church before she died and so we have a copy of almost everything she painted, and I love them but not everywhere in my house. I have no religious picture down stairs and I would love to have stuff like that. I need to take some of the San Diego Temple. You do such amazing work. Call me when you come to cali. I will pay you this time and give you the money that I owe you and think about all the time I just suck at mailing things! Sorry I hope you don't hate me!
ReplyDeleteI completely feel the same way. Though I bet you don't have four buddhas in your living room. People walk in and they're like 'whoa.' Our decor is totally Asian inspired and I think it throws people off. I'd completely love some art shots of the Temple. The only Mormon art that I have that semi works with my decor is Minerva Tichert. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya! I have one pic of Christ in my living room. That's it! I took a bunch of pics of the temple a few months ago to hopefully blow up and put in my home. But i'm not in love with any of them. I love the ones they sell in Deseret Book that have a vintage look in the black frames. But they are kinda expensive, and my hubby says "Take your own, you've got this expensive camera for a reason".
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome... I loved the one of the door knobs too. I would totally buy them if you sold them on Etsy. Thanks again for doing our pictures... I can't wait to see the rest of them! We totally should let our boys play sometime. I am sure they would have a blast.
