Last week I shared a few “corners of our home” and had a few inquiries about the artwork in the photo above, which I’ve been meaning to share for a while… I had torn out a page from the October 2007 issue of InStyle for a picture of Molly Sims’ living room because I loved the artwork hanging over her couch (“Homage to Music” by Matthew Heller). As a Christmas gift to my husband, I attempted to replicate the piece with the lyrics to one of our favorite songs – Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”. This was the result!
This is one of my favorite songs too! I have a lot of memories with this song :) good ones.
hooray! thank you SO much for posting. it’s gorgeous. kudos to you for creating such a beautiful piece of artwork! i’ll have to make note and keep an eye out for good lyrics for a future project!
I don’t know what I’m in love with more– the artwork, or these photos of the artwork!
So funny! I tour out that same page and have loved it as well. I started doing something similar with Loudon Wainwright’s “Strange Weirdos”. I need to hang it.
Yours looks great, and good song pick.
I love this. What process did you use to make it?
PS I want a tutorial!
I just love this. It makes my heart hurt. You are very talented! I hope you don’t mind that I re-posted it on my blog, and linked to yours. I couldn’t resist sharing this with everyone I know! xo
You have a beautiful blog! I love the wall hanging as well… just beautiful! :)
