Funky Frame Do-over

Good morning fellow Bloglanders. Today with the help of my wonky new internet server (sometimes my sentences are all over the page now & cannot be adjusted) I bring to you my Frame Do-over. The frame & picture in it was given to us by a friend that knows I remake things like this. So here is what said funky frame & picture looked like before.

In this shot, it does not look so bad but the mat & picture had some water damage. Not too much but enough to cause a touch of mold to develop. The frame itself was nicked up here & there but I am gonna make that work for me.

Onward to the outside crafting area & some primer after I took the whole thing apart.

Then a couple coats of silver spray paint. It was really windy yesterday & man did I have fun dodging the silver paint when the wind changed direction on me. Almost had a new career as a street performer in New Orleans! But I think the silver coated statue gig is already being done. Least it was last time I was there!

Once dry it was on inside for a quick wash with black acrylic paint. Luckily there was no wind in the house & I did not have to dodge any flying paint.

Here is a not so great shot of the effect with the black wash but it turned out looking pretty cool when you are looking at it. I left the black wash on for less than 2 minutes on each section of the frame.

Once I took the whole shebang apart I realized that the mat around the picture was attached to the picture. It was all one animal so to speak. Pretty slick work there by the manufacturer. I sprayed the entire mat & picture with a light primer. Here are the before & after photos:

& after

Now here is a shot of the frame minus the mat still cause that will be another post as to what I decide to put where the "picture" part was.

So there you have the frame part. Yea, I know pretty exciting huh? (not) The whole one thingy mat/picture threw me here so now I have to figure out what is what with that. Stay tuned to Wiccan Make Some Too for the next installment of what the heck am I gonna do with the mat/picture part. (insert cliff hanger music here)
