I've been working on another project, this one is for my living room. A few weeks ago I saw this idea , it was like a light bulb went off! I finally knew what I wanted to do for my living room. This frame will be the center piece for a gallery wall.
Here is how it started its life, minus the very ugly slightly abstract "painting" of a bull and fighter.
I decided to paint the frames the colors that are in my curtains, this one got a coat of burnt umber (orange) and then glazed with a mix of glaze, brown paint, and a bit of black to darken it. I finished it off with a coat of polyacrylic.
The chicken wire came from a friend, and I really, really wanted rusty wire, but then hubby told me that it doesn't really rust. So, I did the next best thing, pulled out a can of hammered copper spray paint. Now I have my somewhat rusty look.
So far I think I have 10 frames, and I still have two to go. I am up to $12 cost so far for all of it! Love that price! Hopefully it will be done next week. It takes a while to hot glue the chicken wire in place.
Have a great weekend!!
