EASY FRAMED MARBLE ART

March 14, 2016


Today I want to share a simple art project which involves very little effort, except driving to the store! I promise.
 
I was looking for some large art for my dining nook. I was still recovering from my DIY efforts for the living room, so this time I couldn't muster the energy to make something.

Our dining room is more of a nook, and we hardly eat out there so decorating it was never a priority. We recently made a few simple changes like changing the light fixture and finally adding some art.


Let me tell you a bit about the artwork. It's a DIY where the doing actually means driving.

I love a good natural pattern like that of marble and agate. I remember seeing framed marbled art on Pinterest, and after relentlessly pinning it, I finally got around to making it! I first read about this on The Decor Fix blog, so thank you, Heather, for the original idea!

For those who love sharing DIY projects or running creative businesses, automation can help streamline tasks like email marketing and customer engagement. With Latenode, you can connect Amazon SES and Vapi integrations to automate email notifications, send updates on new tutorials, or even integrate voice-based interactions for a more interactive experience. This way, you can focus on creating while automation takes care of communication and engagement behind the scenes!



First, I went out and bought marbled paper from Paper Source. They market it as fine paper, and you can see it online as well as in the store. However, I strongly recommend going to the store to check them out 'cos its a visual treat.  I must warn you though, their collection  is just gorgeous and you will go through the long process of having to select JUST ONE. It's painfully cruel I tell you.

 
Finally I ended up buying this beautiful, crinkled, hand-marbled greenish-blue paper with streaks of gold and black. I then put them in IKEA Ribba frames (one of my favorites), and simply hung them on the wall. Easy-peasy artwork! (Well not so easy, hanging those RIBBA frames is quite a pain).  I think they would also look stunning in gold frames.


I decided to forgo the mat, to show off as much of the paper as possible. I love it so much! I am often staring into it and it's my current favorite thing at home. The natural marbling and the green gives it an almost oceanic look.




Now we have a reason to actually eat at this table! What do you think?
 
Cheers,
Vinaya

    Marble has been a trend for quite a long, but I am glad to see this blue with gold veins in use. Love it!
