Thrifting treasures

Cheap all wood thrift frame.
It was golden with ugly dirty fabric.
Gold is not my favorite.
Pulled fabric off the middle wood area.

























Used paint and a little antiquing medium.
 Reused the canvas included with the frame.
 It had a cheesy amateur landscape...not cute at all.

 Cut up magazines to create a cottage village scene.






































You can do anything in this world
if you are prepared to take the consequences.

    1. Goodness. You are so sweet. Your work is so polished and mine is primitive like a kindergartener. High praise, indeed. I love magazines, thrifting, and crafting. My house is a homemaker's nightmare and a crafters' paradise. Honestly, cutting paper saved my life this year. I have already saved another frame for another project.
      Thank you a million times for your encouragement.
