Some pictures finally up in the house

I painted these flowers years ago. I tried selling them a few times, but no takers. I do like them, so I decided to hang them in my craft room. Took awhile to find some frames. Then the pansy picture was too think to put the backing on, so Tony had to add a hanger to it. Anyway--they are up over my painting desk and I really like them. It's so fun getting to use my own stuff!


I also finally hung this dragonfly/seashell print I bought last year. It's an odd size 12x18, and I had a hard time finding a frame. I finally just bought a white one and then sponged metallic brown on it. It has a neat mottled texture, and I'm pleased to have it hanging in the bedroom.
I'd prefer to forget the glass debacle with the seashell print. After painting the frame, I stubbed my toe on the glass. The glass broke and turns out I didn't just stubb my toe. I sliced a bit off. Icky business. I buy glass replacement...doesn't fit. Husband tries to trim down, but doesn't work. I take to store for glass to be cut to fit and takes the person 2 tries to get it to fit! Sheesh...should have just gone to the frame shop!

You're not going to mention the Glass Debacle? ;)
