The Art Gallery

The boys love to paint, color, and create artwork, and I love to display their artwork. I have a number of their pieces framed and hanging throughout the house. As much as I would like to frame every piece of art, I unfortunately do not have the frames nor the wall space. In addition, Will has recently requested that I do not trim or mat many of his pictures. For quite some time, I had been thinking about creating a clothesline art display. I recently realized I had all of the items needed: wire, clothespins, cup hooks, and artwork. Originally I hung one line, but I really liked how it looked and added another line. I asked the boys to each choose 5 pieces to hang on their clothesline, but I plan to rotate the artwork as they create more pieces.

I love this, too. I did one in our playroom a year or so ago, but admit I am bad about changing out the art.
