#1 New life for old picture frame.

Post by skiday » Sat Dec 17, 2011 2:33 pm

If, like me, you have replaced your frame set you might be wondering what to do with the old frames. How about this as an idea for re-cycling your picture frame. I had it blast cleaned, and painted along with the new frames. I Took a nice picture of the car, Photoshoped into a watercolour effect, had that printed onto canvas and attached to the frame with double sided tape and, voila;

I'm a very lucky man. And every time she brings a new pair of shoes home and shows me I smile and say "Oh, they're nice"

Ah, yes I can see what the artist is trying say and do. He is inserting a lintol before forming a new serving hatch.

Mind you, when you see some of the rubbish that wins the mayor art awards, such a a stack of bricks or a dirty unmade bed etc. I would have thought this piece of art could be one of next years short listed nomination.
