I honestly don’t remember the specific reason I created this frame other than to make sure I still knew the technique on how to make picture frames. However, it turned out to be the best frame I have done to this date.
On this piece I showed my friend Carol Deckert a practical use for using frames for online pictures.
This was completed at the same time as the first frame. I was feeling particularly inspired that day to make a few quality frames.
You are free to snag the two bare frames to add to your own frame files in Paint Shop Pro.
I am gonna do some mad hatter posting to get what I consider to be my best stuff out to you in time to go out with the old year and bring in the new. These are textures I did this year. The green cross hatch, foil, and fall leaves I did for my guest posting Texture Tuesday With Wildheart over at Scraps of Mind. The plaster looking one is one I created just for the fun of it. I was absolutely pleased with how the plaster look came out. It looks like the trowel just had a hey day with it. The fall leaves were inspired by watching swirling leaves in the parking lot. My attempt at concrete was inspired by looking at the patterns in concrete made when forming it as it dries with a trowel that has more of a serrated edge to it.
Ok so I have been trying to figure out what my best stuff for the year is and one thing I wanted to share with you is my 9 top viewed items on Flickr. Now this is an all time view of course but the stone wall one is a more recent work.
The one that took me by surprise is the button I made for my weight loss site. I have never used it maybe I should it has gotten 1,616 views. The stonewall one has also been a fairly well viewed one with almost 200 views. My friend Ben Grader over on Flickr suggested using a graffiti motif on it.
