Catch a cloud and pin it to the wall with this easy do-it-yourself project
Bring the sky inside with this cloud-themed photo montage
Okay. That is a very little, fluffy white lie. But thanks to inspiration from New York florist Nicolette Owen and design*sponge, you can create cloud art by capturing clouds with your camera and pinning them to your wall.
Get outside! Step one of this artful conversation piece requires you to spend some time in the great outdoors.
Take your camera, look up, and start clicking away! Summer is the perfect time to capture the cottony cumulus clouds up in the sky. Keep some of those blue skies and white clouds in your home even when the grey blanket returns to our winter skies.
For a variety of shapes, colours and lights, take photos on different days and at different times. The sky is never the same from one minute to the next.
The next thing you need to do is print your photos. There are many opportunities for variation in this step by working with the size and colour of your pictures. My inspiration (pictured) uses 4- by 6-inch photos arranged uniformly, which emphasizes the varying colours.
But don’t let that stop your creative juices! You can experiment with black and white or even duotones to focus on cloud shapes or patterns instead. If clouds aren’t your cup of fluff, try a different theme.
Remember to keep it simple, or else it will be too busy and less pleasing to the eye.
There are many ways you can arrange your photos: horizontally, vertically, in uniform grids, grids with varying sizes, or asymmetrical arrangements.
You can also get creative with how you hang your photos. Here are a few of my ideas:
