Way back in the winter of 2009 I fell in love with the art of Paul Kenton in, well... a calendar. I had never even heard of him before I saw the cover with the pretty watercolor city on it. I stuffed all the "maybe" calendars back on the shelf without any hesitation. It was possibly the fasted home decor decision I had ever made.
2009 went by so quickly it wasn't fair. The months past before I could fully appreciate each piece. And then it was over. I searched the calendar racks over and over with no Paul Kenton in sight. Thanks to my inability to throw pretty things out I stashed the outdated calendar away for another time. I saved it for nearly two and a half years before finally deciding what to do with it.
And now I'm in love with this! I started by selecting my favorite pieces and cutting them out of the calendar. I cut some white sketching paper to size for a matting effect and attached the artwork with a small loop of tape. Once everything was framed I decided on a layout by placing the frames on the floor in the pattern I was after. I secured the frames to the wall with a few pieces of 3M Velcro strips - perfect for renters who can't put to many holes in the wall - and I was done!
I was dying for my own frame collage and now I have one! These frames were hanging in our hallway with some of my photo prints from high school. I decided that it was time for a change and now they are in a new spot with new art and in a new layout.
And now I get to enjoy the colorful artwork of Paul Kenton all year long for as many years as I want. Marvelous! (and cheap too!)
