Ideas For Affordable Framed Artwork
by Lucile Jacobs
If you have a bare wall in your house and feel that it needs some kind of visual focal point, you may want to add a framed piece of art there. The problem that many people face is that they simply cannot afford original art from an art gallery. However, there are different alternatives so that you can still have beautiful but affordable framed artwork on your walls.
If you want original art but find that what's available in the galleries are beyond your budget, you need to look elsewhere. Art students will probably be delighted to sell you one of their paintings or sketches at a price you can afford. The great thing about buying an original piece from a talented student is that there is a chance that the student may become a well-known artist some day and your piece will become very valuable.
Another great way of finding original art is to look for it when you travel. Most destinations have a flea market or a crafts market where local artists go to sell their work. You may even meet fellow travelers who pay for their travels by creating and selling art on the road. An original piece bought on your travels will not only make a great souvenir, but you'll have contributed to the local economy in a positive way.
Another great source of interesting originals is your own children or those of friends and family. Children's art is usually colorful and very interesting. A framed crayon drawing will also be a great topic of conversation for guests who are trying to decide whether it depicts a dog, a donkey or a robot from outer space. This type of art may not be worth much in terms of monetary value, but you will come to attach great sentimental value to it.
You don't have to opt for original pieces. Prints can look great too. If you're worried that having a print of an original piece can look a bit tacky, go for posters instead. You should be able to get beautiful ones from art museums, theaters and movie theaters.
Another option is to have prints made of photographs that you're particularly fond of. These can be pictures from your travels or simply informal snapshots of moments in your life. While they're usually striking enough on their own, you may add interesting effects with photo-editing computer software or simply by printing the photographs in black and white instead of in color.
Frames are not necessarily for paintings or photographs only. Find a beautiful piece of fabric or wrapping paper and have it framed instead. You can also frame interesting objects like colorful feathers, a crochet doily, a kite or those bloomers that belonged to your great-great-grandmother. Box frames are great for these.
Instead of focusing on <A href="http://www.creativememories-favorites.com">affordable framed artwork</A>, you may also focus on the frames themselves. A beautifully ornate frame can do wonders even on its own. Simply place it around a mirror or for something quirky, display them with nothing in them and let visitors admire their beauty.
