Wall-Filler

I had a huge gap on my wall. I thought about stretching fabric to hang on there, and I really love marimekko's fabrics..but I'm cheap and won't pay $45/yard or more for even incredibly cute fabric. So I bought a canvas and took it on...I'm really pleased with the result.



I'm really more into the whole sewing/knitting scene and have never really been pleased with my painting/drawing skills. This was a simple enough pattern that I like how it turned out!

so do i. it looks really nice, like something i'd easily be tempted to buy in ikea!
great go, might try something similar too!
simple but really nice.

I see SO much Marimekko (esp.that "unikko")  around here so I'm not so into it but you did a good job anyway!
Clear lines and everything,looking really nice.
Way to go!

Yeah, I know. Seeing it so much is kinda what made me want something of it for myself, I kept seeing everyone making really cute things with that fabric and my wall felt left out.
