Using Photography In An Art Grouping

Earlier today (see post below) I was writing about how I like to use photography when I’m styling the walls of my clients homes. I’m not talking about snapshots – though a good one can look smashing.

Photographer Marc Loret: Decorating Your Home With Photography

I’m putting the finishing touches on a kitchen and dining area for a client. For the back hall, I’ve mixed a mixed variety of photos by French photographer, Marc Loret to create 2 framed pieces that will hang on above the other. Each photo measures 6″ x 6″.

Marc’s work is very painterly – a unique mixture of photos with styling that add a sense of age, painted looks and beautiful edges. Let’s take a peek at more of his beautiful and affordable work. Read More…

Friday Favorite: Art & Photos by Marc Loret

I can’t remember how I came across Marc Loret, but I was immediately attracted to his photography. Let’s take a peek.

Marco lives and works in France where he pursues his two passions: photography and nature. Many of his photos are of the natural world. He sells his work at his Etsy shop. Standard size prints are 6″ x 6″ and sell for $9.00. You can order larger prints as well.

I suggest buying several and grouping them. Buy three – one in a larger size and two in the same. Mat and frame them and you’ve got a lovely wall.

When Marc isn’t taking photos, he’s creating his own illustrations on vintage books.

You can find these at his other Etsy shop. Most prints sell for about $10.50.

Creative Gifts Using Moo Cards

Have you discovered Moo Cards? I use them as business cards – everyone asks where I got them. They’re inexpensive and, best of all, you can upload your own images. Order 100 cards and each one can be different, or all the same. There are so many creative uses for them and here’s one I especially admire.

Artist, Luisa Vidal makes bookmarks and magnets which she sells at her Etsy Shop, Fashion Fuschia. Cute!

She also makes note cards and buttons featuring her very appealing illustrations. I thought you’d enjoy this little peek at her work.
