Word Art
March 25, 2010
I’m one of those people who likes to surround myself with inspiration, and often it is in the form of favorite quotes or words. I especially like to see words or quotes as original art framed in a gallery on the wall, together with other family pictures and artwork. They are an inexpensive way to add personality to a home, and a great conversation starter !
I’ve come across some favorites on Etsy, and I thought I’d share them with you today. Click on the titles below for the link.
When Life Hands You Lemons by Dear Colleen
Talent May Start it by Daisy Janie
I Believe In Pink
I Paint Therefore I Am by LillyBimble
Alice in Wonderland quote by Chattanooga Paperie
Book Lovers by Kirsty Paterson
She Believed by Valentina Design
Best Day Ever by Erin Jane Shop

How about these clever takes on the ‘Keep Calm’ print ? Too funny.

And here are my two favorites:
Darcy Quotes from The Love Shop
You see, I’ve always had a huge crush on Mr. Darcy. 
Aren’t these prints original and fun ? What about you, do you use quotes or words as art in your home?

i think i’ll be buying the first one.
Wordle (www.wordle.com) is fun for this kind of thing. You can choose the colors and fonts and put in anything – a quote, song lyrics, the text of the Declaration of Independence, and it will produce an artsy rendering of it. You can then save it as a PDF and have it printed. The best part is, it’s free!
I did one of a lullaby I frequently sing to my son and had it framed for his room. I did another of the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding and it’s in our bedroom.
Agh, sorry – it’s http://www.wordle.net, not .com.
I heart Mr. Darcy!
These are *lovely* prints. I love to surround myself with words, too. In fact, I think I’d rather see words of inspiration than pretty pictures most of the time! Just this week I painted a blessing on my dining room wall. Click over to my blog if you’d like to see it: http://bekwalesblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/writings-on-wall.html
Adorable!
And who doesn’t ADORE Darcy? <3 Darcy :-]
Wow… stinkin’ cute! I just ordered 1 and need to get 2 more! Great stuff!
I have been having “One of those days” for oh about a month now.
The “When life gives you lemons…” poster made me laugh outloud.
Thanks, I needed that.
Those quotes are so cute. In university, we used to have a quote wall-mostly sayings that happened around the dorm or in class, but it never failed to crack us up.
I like the unexpected ones, especially the lemons. And as a Brit I can vouch for the amazing powers of the accent to land a job or convince a difficult audience that I am knowledgeable and reliable!
Since you drink a lot of coffee, you really should treat yourself to a Mr Darcy Mug.
I don’t have word art in my home just yet because it’s not MY home I don’t feel like decorating. I love word art though and I plan on using it somewhere in my home. Thanks for the links to the etsy shops

Love this post! Word art is a fabulous way of surrounding ourselves with inspiration. You’ve collected a fantastic assortment for us. Thanks!
These are terrific! As a designer, I always like to see prints with words in them…I’m even drawn to clothing w/ words in the fabric!
I also have a life long crush on Mr Darcy.
