Some of the frames were soldered to give them an aged look...
...and were painted and distressed. Afterwards, I turned the frames into mini books, doll bodies, necklaces, and mini pictures to hang.
Below is a picture of what one of the wooden frames looked like before I altered it. Thank you Red Lead for the frames and letting me be one of your guest artists!
Next month, I'll be offering a workshop on how to make these projects. In the class, you will be able to make a soldered frame, a painted distressed frame, and one more of your choosing. I'll provide the soldering equipment, paint, vintage images and chains. I hope you'll join me in creating these fun mini frame projects! The class will be held at my sister's home in Oakland , California on March 22nd from 1-5pm. The cost is $45. Email me to sign up or to get more info - space is limited to 8.
