Using large IKEA square frames and the Waterlogue App I turned a photo I took of a wave at a tropical beach we traveled to a few years ago into these 4 stylish graphic art pieces!

I love the focal point they create above my sofa and the color and pattern they add to the room!

    What a beautiful set of pictures. I just downloaded Waterlogue and have been playing with creating some pictures of my girls.

    Would you be willing to share your source image? I love those waves.

    Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for the info on the Waterlogue app. It is addictive. I love watercolor pics. Have you ever tried to print them on watercolor or textured paper? I wonder if it would work.
