Project No. 2 – Ink

Prints are the thing now. 
They are everywhere from etsy shops to major stores, and everyone seems
to have them in their homes.
Somehow I stumbled across this print (I believe it was a blog post). I loved the idea of it and immediately wanted
it for my own kitchen. Roast chicken is near and dear to our hearts. It’s
something I cook almost weekly, with a tired an true recipe that both Chuck and
I love, this print seemed perfect.
The only thing about it that I didn’t like was that it wasn’t
my recipe. I thought having a print that was all mine would be amazing, so I decided
to get to work. It took me a while to figure out a design that I liked, and
then figure out what pens /markers/tools to use. I did a fe side projects to
get comfortable, and then just went for it.

I think it turned out pretty good. I made one small mistake,
but a little white out isn’t noticeable from far away. I could always scan it
into the computer and photoshop it out, but that’s a lot more effort, and
imperfections are part of life. I think it will remain as is for now. Also the matting that I made myself from colored paper is a little off, but I think it adds to the imperfect look; at least that’s what I’m going with for now.

I put it
up in our kitchen where we used to hang a calendar and love opening our door to
it every day now. After Project no. 2 I am even more in love with this
challenge. I hope to fill this house with handmade items, and art. It fills my
heart during the creative process and then seeing these things get use every
day.
