Child’s Artwork Collage — by Guest Mom Kristin Fine

June 11, 2008

I have to share the most gorgeous, creative, chic way of enjoying your child’s artwork. Jan Eleni, a child-centric decorator, stylist, genius has come up with the Jan Eleni Collage.

I loved it so much, I convinced her to allow us to offer it through our store. We have had one up in the shop and everyone comments on it.

Basically she edits, reproduces and shrinks your child’s artwork and creates this stunning archival piece that is modern and true all at once.

I am having one made of each of my children’s work as they hit they age of 8. Someday maybe I’ll pass it on to them.

This is a WONDERFUL idea. My kids are only 4 and 2 and the artwork is already overwhelming us.

This is fantastic. I can’t stand the clutter. Now I could scan each work of art (before binning it), and then compile it.

Thanks!

That solves a big guilt-trip dilemma I’ve been having about throwing things away. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, now this is cute. I read an article about taking pictures of your kiddo’s artwork so you could save the digital copy instead of the actual piece, but this is a genius way of displaying them. Thanks! (You should send this in to Parenthacks too!)

Fabulous idea, but out of my price range (I hear ya, Cara!) Maybe I could come up with something similar in Photoshop? My 5-year-old is an art fiend, and I scan favorite creations at least once a week.
