As soon as read Lisa's post, I knew what I had to do to say, "Thank You!" I ran out to the studio because I knew I still had a few 5x7 black frame that I purchased from the flea market a few years ago. The frames are shadowbox style, although not one of them contained any glass.
Anyways, I first painted the black frame white, then, added a light coat of rubbing oil stain & finish. This gave the frame the appearance of aged driftwood! Perfect for creating the 3D collage style frame I desire to gift to her. Since I know Lisa would never print my "Watercolored Dreams" out for herself, I made it so she wouldn't have too! I added it to the frame and then decorated up the inner sides and bottom using seashells, beach glass, and even one of my small pieces of coral. I've had these items in my stash of supplies for years, in fact, the coral I discovered many, many years ago when I lived in the Buloxi - Gulfport, Mississippi area.
Lisa, if you'd be so kind to email me your address, I'll be more than happy to send this out to you. You made my day and this is my way of saying, "Thank You!"
