Vintage Frame Finished

I had started this frame a while ago, ok August.  See it here.   I seem to say "I'm not sure if I'm going to add fabric or not" alot.  Then I always do add the fabric. I can't help it. I love the fabric backs. I'm going to try to stop saying that.    ANYWAYS... here she is with of course, BURLAP...


















She wouldn't be complete without a matching clothespin flower.  This burlap flower didn't give me fits like my last one did.  I'll be taking this frame to Art In The Alley  in December.

Another Black Damask, But With A Twist

When I purchased this particular frame, I don't think that Handy Hunk was too impressed with it... What can I say... I see life with a can of spray paint. :-)
Unfortunately, I can not find the original before picture... So, here's one after I started working on it.  It started out  as a cork board. I took out the cork panel and cut it to the size I wanted.











Nice hollow area on the right :-)  No worries, chicken wire is on its way...
















Some black spray paint then add some of my fav black damask fabric... looking good!


How about another of those flowers.  Lets see if I can do it wihout burning my fingers...












Here are the Peanuts.... no gallery comments, thanks!




















Glue it all together, with only minor burns. :-)  Add a button for the center...
Then glued it to a thumb tack. And ta da...






























Not bad for a cork board transformation.   Have to see what Handy Hunk thinks of it...

Just in. Handy Hunk really liked it.  Sorry, about the pics.  Took them with my phone.
