January 4, 2010

THE ORIGINAL BRASS FRAME


I found these beautiful Italian made frames at the thrift store,  but the trouble was...... they were brass.....well, nothing a coat of spray paint couldn't fix.  With a little added embellishment they are the perfect junkstyle
 re-creation.

One in white and one in black.  I love anything to do with Paris so had to use some french themed images. The perfect frenchie paper was found at a local scrapbooking shop.


A vintage earring and crystal  finish off the look.
Happy day.
