we have a big grooved wood frame but i haven't found a photo that suits the frame, so i decided to frame a piece of lace and let the wood remain the star of the show. who says the photo has to be the focal point of a frame?
i love it now.
some other non-photo ideas for frames are scrapbook paper, a piece of awesome fabric, woven ribbons, old newspaper clipping, a ticket stub... the list is endless. plus, some of these are a super easy, inexpensive and low-commitment way to play with new colors and patterns around the house. you could do some really fun stuff with a bunch of white/black/wood frames plus some scrapbook paper or fabric swatches - instant color, texture & pattern. i love the idea of have a few designated "fabric" frames that rotate seasonally.
i've framed pretty wrapping paper before. but i love this framed lace. such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteoh! wrapping paper is another great idea.
ReplyDeleteI freaking LOVE this frame/lace combo, Teri!!! I think this calls for another trip to Joanns...
ReplyDeletei love your blog Teri! I have been a faithful follower ever since Ang sent out a link to last years Tour de Fat coverage...I saved a vintage Valentine that my mother in law had received in grade school and knew i wanted to do something special with it. i framed it over the handmade lace that she made--a way to capture two very special things from her together. i absolutely love how it came out :)
