I was looking at a Facebook site today and I noticed a video link about making artistic designs directly on a wall. The title talked about wallboard designs and I couldn't figure out how that could be done to create the scene in the photo... a beautiful mountain scene with evergreens, rocks, and some kind of large fish I thought.
When I followed the link it went to a You Tube video demonstrating how the scene was created by the artist (Bernie Mitchell). The links are below for you to explore. I will try to add photos before I post.
At You Tube I notices a number of other videos to see... and that they were posted as far back as 2009. I had no idea this decorating option existed.
I hope this was OK to do, but I uploaded this photo from Bernie Mitchell's Facebook page. It is a great sample of what this blog is about. Isn't it amazing to see this kind of sculpture on a wall.
This is the link to this photo ::

If you follow the ART RELIEF link you will find a short presentation of a variety of designs, some created to look like abstract framed art. I liked the first design, which looks like some kind of wave, and the second design that looks like a giant tulip or rose on a special wall. You will have to explore these designs links for yourself.
I added the Randy Detjen links because they were also on You Tube and offer another look into the creation of these art works in a home.
I hope you are as amazed as I am to see this opportunity and the talent that makes it. I liked the idea of creating these designs for regular framing... and thought of shadow boxes that are deep and would protect these designs a little better.
I wondered what kind of design I would like to have in my home, and what room it would be best in. I always loved the world maps on walls that I have seen...but they were in marble. I can't remember the name of the store that had them, but it was an educational toys store. I'm not sure where I would put that size of a map, but if I had my own library, it might be on a wall there.
What would you like to see in your home?

I'd be very tempted by some of the amazing Celtic knotwork designs, I think.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the bas relief or fresco work done during the renaissance. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique. It does look like a fresco you would see in Europe.
ReplyDeleteI love that look. I think I'd like something with a mid-century feel in my dining room.
