Dolphin & whale art has been everywhere lately. From those beautiful starry-eyed whales painted by the Czech artist Mila Furstova to handy cotton tea towels with splashes of watercolour & roaming pods of humpbacks. I absolutely love the look of those 1880’s encyclopaedia looking posters but not gonna lie – I feel like this is a very trendy art. Not something I’d be having around the house for years to come. At least for someone who’s more of a plants & portraits (and kittens) kind of interior decorator. That’s why I went & bought a pack of these gorgeous whale bookmarks for 84p (yes, you’re reading it right) & made my own variation on the infamous whale art – look!
Supplies you will need for this project
? a sheet of paper in whatever size you want your art piece to be
? thin black pen
? double sided tape
? a pack of whale bookmarks (get yours here for 84p!)
? list papíru (jakákoliv velikost)
? tenká černá fixa
? oboustranná lepící páska
? balení velrybích záložek (kupte si je tady za 30 Kč)
How to make these beautiful whale art ‘prints’
? First, pick the whales you want to use – I went with the slightly quirkier looking ones (read the uglier ones!)
? Lay them out on your sheet of paper.
? Secure them with tiny squares of double sided tape.
? Add ‘Whales’ at the top & names of various whales (I just googled whale types and these came up, cannot guarantee I actually got them all right, but WHALES!) to each picture.
? And you’re done! This most definitely took less than 5 minutes, right? You can either leave it as it is and use washi tape to secure it to the wall or you can put it in a picture frame of your choice.
? Nejdříve si vyberte velryby, které chcete použít – já si vybrala ty, které vypadaly trochu legračně (tzn. škaredě!).
? Rozložte si je na papír před vámi, ať víte, kam která přijde.
? Připevněte každou velrybu čtverečkem oboustranné lepící pásky.
? Úplně nahoru napište “Velryby” a pak ke každé velrybě dopište její druhové jmého (já si je našla na Googlu, nicméně se musím přiznat, že jsem se úplně asi netrefila).
? A je hotovo! A zabralo vám to méně než 5 minut, že? Nakonec můžete váš umělecký výtvor pověsit na zeď buď pomocí washi tape nebo si kupte rámeček a velryby zarámujte.
