Yesterday I was afflicted with a case of writer’s block. As I was taking a break from my typing a few words, deleting them all rhythm, I started thinking about inexpensive ways I could add some color / other art over our couch.
I love Mandi’s giant DIY string art, but I’m not really a heart person.

I’m wondering if I could do something similar but do a bold pattern of some sort instead. I’m loving honeycomb right now – but I’m not sure if just outlining each hexagon would look like much {or take a year and a half to complete}. I also like the idea of doing color blocking - something super simple but it might have a big impact. Along the same lines of color-blocking – what about some stripey/blocky art inspiration? I’m also loving arrows right now. Here’s the inspiration photos for the patterns mentioned above.

What would you do? Save me from my own indecision please?


I somehow posted a comment to the poll, so I’m not sure if you’ll see it lol so here it is again!
What about some sort of combination of colour blocking and honeycomb? Like a large canvas filled with honeycombs and only some of them filled with colour. Does that make sense? lol
Ooh, that’s thinking outside of the box! And it could look REALLY pretty. Hmm, wheels spinning about the possibilities! Thanks for the idea, Steph!
I love the honeycomb and the arrows, but I am always partial to geometric shapes.
