Guest Picks: Plan on Blueprints for Cool Art

Blueprints and sun prints have captured my attention lately. And because I’m a sucker for a good DIY project, I actually tried making my own — but that’s a whole other story. If you’re more a point-and-click kind of person, check out this selection of blueprints and sun prints from around the web. — Nicole from Nicole Scott Designs
