Plates

  Over seven years ago, I used plates to create wall art/hangings in Gainesville. I saved a photo of my favorite homemade wall hanging from Gainesville in one of my Instagram accounts. It is shown below (the lines to the right are lines from window blinds). Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/3bY08KmtRm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link.

Recently, I used paper plates instead of a book for my poems and I like it! I created the 'plate art' below that shows "I trust in Almighty God" when I created the poems. I didn"t have a marker. I used what I had.

Wall Art With Life Lessons

Today I found and reviewed wall art and posters that include life lessons. A lot of the wall art include only printed text on life lessons. Some included pictures or painted images. Some were inexpensive (between $10 and $20) while others cost $50 and more. I tried to explain why some of the art cost much more. That was a little difficult because the pricing seemed "all over the place." However, in general, those wall art with more text, images and/or framing (a framed canvas with nice framing such as a gold floating frame) had higher prices.

In the past, I thought of creating wall art for sale as part of my Lessons Project. I decided against it because such wall art is widely available and there is much competition. I am still not sure that was a wise decision.
