I’ve been moving things around the house in preparation of achieving one of my 4 Simple Goals (before 2013), piecing together an art wall.
You have no idea how much time actually goes into planning a seemingly random, asymmetrical body of work!
Here’s a tip though, place all your artwork on the floor and assemble them there and then transfer them to the wall or make cut outs of each piece and masking tape them to the wall as you experiment with the layout.

Love that first image!!
Another tip I saw on pinterst (?) for designing a frame wall is to photocopy the back of your frames. Stick those to the wall in the desired design and then you not only have the design/patter set, but you all know exactly where to drill the holes/hammer the hanging nail!
Works best on high contrast frames, but you can make a plan…
That’s also a very clever idea! Gone are the days of just winging it and making polyfilla your best friend 🙂
