I've had a matted print propped up against the back wall at my desk here in the Studio for a few years, I'd become accustomed to it's unframed state. I love the print, it's a Story People print by Brian Andreas, the text: "Whenever I go on a trip, I think about all the homes I've had and I remember how little has changed about what comforts me." A few weeks ago I happened to notice a 50% off coupon for framing at A.C. Moore in Sunday's paper. Oh, yeah; it was now or never! I knew what I wanted, a simple, red frame. Like a perfectly finished quilt, the binding is that last place to add a lively shot of color and finish the edge with style and panache; it's the same with framing a picture. It's done. Why did this take so long? Again, like finishing a quilt... never mind, all things in their own time!Life is Good!
I love the print! Someone once told me "there is nothing so fatiguing as the endless hanging-on of an uncompleted task" I wrote the phrase in calligraphy, framed it, and hung it near by ironing board (one of my least favorite tasks, unless it has to do with a quilt). Congrats on the sense of completion!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great print, and it looks wonderful in the frame and its pretty setting.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful feeling, something accomplished! And you have accomplished a few things: the picture in its frame looks great and your cupboards are a relief to a sore eye (i.e. the sore eye I get after looking at my heaps of scraps!). Can I book you?! Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it 'goes' right there. And the red is perfect. Good work!
ReplyDeleteCute! Yea I read you! Why do we take so long to do something so simple! One of life's unanswered questions I guess! Life is good!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely finished!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to say "all things in their own time." Your print was just waiting for the right frame! The red looks great. Doesn't a finish feel good though...
ReplyDeleteHello! Laurie Ann sent me to visit you, and I'm sooooo glad I did! I love your wiener doggie - so cute! Also, I have that very same calendar above my desk!
ReplyDeleteI own 3 wiener dogs, and wouldn't have any other type of dog, even though I am a total dog lover!! They are just too special, aren't they?
Good job on getting it framed! Right now I am working on ordering prints from all my digital photos - it would be nice to have some real photos around instead of always looking at images on the computer!!! The red frame is perfect - even more so that you got to use a great coupon too!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
