Affordable LDS Art
Ok, I’m going to admit it — I’m not a big fan of most LDS art. Most of it just isn’t my style.
Recently though I decided I want a bunch of different temples framed in different sizes and styles for my bedroom wall. I want it to be funky and slightly modern. But so far, nothing is quite right. The idea being: if I can’t be in the temple I’ll bring the temple to me in my home (my personal temple).
I’ve never really been one to have a lot of LDS art in my home. I think it’s hokey. I really can’t stand folk art and cutesy craft sayings either. But then recently I feel images bring a feeling and I wanted to create a good atmosphere in my home with art.
I went to the church history museum and saw some excellent pieces. One I loved just had the Saviour’s feet above the ground. They had the nail marks. It’s the most beautiful image of Joseph Smith’s first prayer I’ve ever seen (I went on a mission to upstate New York so the events there mean a lot to me).
Well I found a site that has gorgeous LDS prints, framed, for around $100. I love this one of the creation, it’s just gorgeous and moving. It’s not modern art but it has a great feel to it and it’s not the same old. Check it out.


I don’t know if you would consider them “art”, but the LDS Historic Sites Screen Savers at http://www.ldsebooks.biz are relaxing and inspiritional to me. Since I’ve been to all the sites they have on their screen savers, it brings back wonderful memories ( I got a couple of them).
