July 6, 2020 by AllFreeKnitting

There’s nothing quite as exciting, daunting, or satisfying as filling a gaping blank space on your walls. Still, selecting your artwork can prompt some anxious questions. Will you use family photos, classic prints, or new age paintings? Maybe an ironic thrift store find or some DIY canvas art? Don’t feel baffled by these art mediums. Stick with what you know and create a beautiful display of fiber art!
