Brilliant Idea For Saving Childrens’ Artwork
I think most parents at some point will ask themselves “what do we do with all those art masterpieces our little ones so happily shower us with?” Keep, throw away, keep some, frame, use as fire wood, send to Grandma??? And multiply those drawings/paintings by (in my case) three children x 16 years+ and you will need an entire room dedicated to kids’ art.
My close friend Bianca sent me this art solution, yesterday — and I think that it is absolutely brilliant!
New York City-based designer Jan Eleni, creates gallery-worthy custom collages using images of your child’s artwork. She takes good detailed photographs of all the art pieces and has them re-sized, cut and professionally framed behind glass. (Miniature artworks).
One of those frames in my house and all young family members will feel equally important and loved! I think this is worth trying myself. “There you have it kids – 112 of your own adorable artworks, museum style. And as parents we could not be any more proud.”

What a clever idea. I ave only one kid but an entire wall in the basement is all his fantastic artwork. Running out of space and he is only nine…

I also think this is a great DIY project. I would probably scan the pictures and then print them out smaller… maybe on semi-gloss paper and a matt background.

I love this idea. Definitely bookmarking this site for when Henry gets a little older and starts producing artwork. Also love what you’re doing with William’s room. I love the Ikea fabric you found. Can’t wait to see the final result.

This is absolutely brilliant. I think I have to start collecting soon. Could you believe Lucas is already bringing art home. It’s so funny because he’s only two and I know that the teachers do most of the work for him.

Gah! I love, LOVE that idea! Thank you for the reminder Mon! Such a great idea and since I have quite the talented and prolific little artist in my house, this would be fantastic!
