Above- Angels get their wings, Muses get their clouds fluffed and lost puppies find their ways home when a painting finds it's frame…

You will be seeing the whole thing all framed up nice in the next few blogs…

There was magic here and where i found it was here.

My neighbor gave me these frames seeing as she is moving,

i always do this sort of divining rod thing when i get a frame (If i can't already tell right off the bat i have a piece for it's fit)…where i start to look around the room then follow my intuition through the other rooms and up the stairs sizing up the hundreds of paintings lining each (and every) wall…And when the piece is found!…its Magic!

Tip #1- Distress an old frame:)

sand paper, fork, nail even the back of a hammer..

then..clean it up and stain it..or paint it then clean it up…sand a little..

layer it up!

make that old faded gold look…I'm thinking i will have to do a blog on some cool framing ideas:)

Above- 2 of close to a hundred sketches, paintings and digital works toward a friends Album Cover

 Above- A TREASURE of an art mail this last week or so from Wendy Gell,
if you can tell she hot glued a little figuring and a photo of a collage onto of the original art mail i'd sent her! gotta love the playful directions the Art MAil takes!

 Above- 2 photos are the first batch of Canvas Totes!
all sold but the middle one on the back row

I have almost 10 more ready to make!
though i try to make smaller run batcher like 4…
kids keep the 4 in a4dable

Above- 2 art mail's going off into the world!
The left one i had set in the back of a painting for 3 months till i recently took down the show..and voila! there she was! and yes that is the varsity being lifted into the clouds by angels:)

Anyone out there interested to trade back and forth, to and from some original Artwork?
Postcard watercolors, pen and ink cards, collages…whatever you see as art
