Love Letters

While browsing through all the wonderfully creative blogs I see many, many things I simply adore.  A couple of things that have recently attracted my attention are letters - especially the old typewriter style - and the way people are incorporating words into their artwork.

I was putzing around on my computer to see if I could create some antique typewriter looking keys of my own.  I found several possibilities:

Then I actually remembered to note the font name beside the samples I liked.

Because I have decided to utilize things I already have instead of rushing out to buy more things, I never know where my creations will take me.  Rarely do the things I make resemble the ideas in my head.

I found four mini frames that had aged perfectly for that nice antique look.  I measured, printed and cut out my letters and wound up with a little Love.

Setting them on a shelf individually wasn't an option, so I decided to frame them, kinda.  I like the looks of wire.  So I twisted some and secured the frames to it with a little more.

I found some lettered wood beads and fashioned another wired creation to compliment the statement.  Now "Love Grows" on my dining room wall.

So, my finished project hardly resembles old typewriter keys at all, but I like the way it turned out and I would love to know what you think!
