DIY your own "Eye Chart Art"

I'm sharing another great idea this week since I'm short on creativity, time and motivation to do my own, but this one will be hanging in my house soon.  I love it!

Maybe it's because I have had horrible, horrible vision my entire life.  I got my first pair of glasses very early in elementary school.  One day we were sitting at my brother's little league baseball game.  He played center field.  Once I had my glasses, I was amazed: There he WAS!  Look at him out there in the field playing baseball!!  My mom was horrified. She had no idea I had never seen him out there.  I had no idea I was SUPPOSED to be able to see him until I had glasses.  The world was so beautiful!  I remember riding my bike looking at everything around me in such awe!  I think I was born with 20/300 eyesight!  Now it's so off the charts they can't give me a number....but hey, back to art: Maybe you'll love this as much as my bad eyes do, but I think it's awesome and fun.

Here is the normal eye chart:


Using a free website called Eye Chart Maker, make your own. Like this:

Or a favorite verse or saying:

This one limits the number of characters in the piece.  But now that you know it exists and you LOVE it, do some googling, some pinterest-ing, and have fun with it.  There are some great tutorials on printing it with awesome gradient backgrounds (I'll test though out and get back to you), but I'm thinking they would be awesome on just a lovely piece of paper in a nice frame. 

So, what can you see on your walls??
