    Whoa, coolest episode yet! I love the DIY project-there are so many uses for that. And what a helpful and cool Indie Art Guide, I will definitely use that.

    I am such a big fan of maps as wall art. This episode is the best one so far, and if I say that every week, it's because it's true. Meg, I feel like you have been waiting to share these ideas for a lifetime, and have so much to say. You are such a fresh face and personality!

  • IndieDesigner wrote on April 8, 1:22 pm

    What a great use for an old frame! There are so many neat things you can do with that. I love how innovative and creative you are with YOUR indie art collection. You gave me so many ideas.

    Yay! Thanks for featuring my tshirt panels!


    You rule.

  • Meg wrote in reply on April 8, 2:04 pm

    YOU rule. You are more than welcome, as your "stretched tee's" are so rad. Really cool idea.

  • corinneleigh (guest) wrote in reply on April 9, 3:17 pm

    the stretched tee idea is so great! i cannot wait to try it.

  • Barret wrote on April 8, 1:28 pm

    Obsessed! What else can I say? I love it!!! I loved the "Vintage Vogue" idea so much! And excuse me Marie, but you are way cute!

    And it is so great to get Will's manly perspective! What a fantastic episode!!!

    Why thank you!

    great idea for using an inexpensive frame to display art and to easily change the subjects on the frame.

  • suzy (guest) wrote on April 8, 1:55 pm

    Another fantastic episode! You out do yourself with each new episode!!!

  • Michelle* wrote on April 8, 1:58 pm

    This is GREAT! I have so many friends that are talented artists and not NEARLY enough wall space to show off all of their work. I also can't afford to constantly be buying new frames, nor do I want to consume that much. This DIY project is super-helpful, easy and will help me be a better friend to my artist buddies who make such pretty things for my walls.

    THIS IS AMAZING! I LOVE THIS SHOW! How does it get better and better each week, when I thought th first episode was near perfect.

    This is my fav epsiode so far. Great ideas as always and I loved Will's quick tip. Everyone could use a man of math and science around the house.

  • IndieDesigner74 wrote on April 8, 2:45 pm

    everytime i watch one of these episodes, i'm inspired to go rearrange my furniture and get my hands dirty. thank you!

    oh, and props for featuring a combo of illustrations, personal art, greeting cards, stretched tees, viewer's work, and photography. you get that everyone's got a different aesthetic and it's refreshing not to have any one idea shoved down your throat.

    recycle, reuse, repurpose! keep on keepin on...

    What does your tattoo say? I can't quite catch it!

    It says Bobbie, for my grandmother Roberta "Bobbie". I got it on her 95th birthday.

    My improvment to the quick tip: tweak the map. I'm gonna draw giant dinosaurs attacking my hometown. Miami's gonna get it!

  • P. Berge (guest) wrote on April 8, 8:35 pm

    Great show! Thank you so much for featuring my photography.

  • ES (guest) wrote on April 8, 9:34 pm

    Hey what I did with an old frame is that I cut diagonally so it makes a big L then I trimmed the sides to the length I wanted it then I screwed 5 hooks on one of the sides (on the inside of the frame) and hung it up as a necklace holder. It works great.

  • Meg wrote in reply on April 8, 11:55 pm

    Genius! That sounds like a really rad interpretation. Can we see pics of it? Keep up the great work!

  • ES (guest) wrote in reply on April 9, 8:29 pm

  • Buttons (ES) (guest) wrote in reply on April 9, 9:37 pm

  • Ryley (guest) wrote on April 16, 10:29 pm

    I have old puppy pictures out of old mags all around my bed, and with the cute cute clothespins, my mom can leave me and my aunt Charlotte notes in frames instead of on the counter where they get lost!! Thank you Meg, for helping my mom leave me notes for someone to feed me.

  • Meg wrote in reply on May 5, 10:27 am

    I am VERY impressed, Ryley. Not many canines can type, nor can they grasp the English language like you. You are one intelligent lab. Gracie can take a lesson or two from you.

  • Tori (guest) wrote on April 16, 10:30 pm
