A couple of weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a giveaway from Tammy at Type A. Tammy was giving away a 16 x 20 printed rolled canvas from Uprinting. I was so excited to win, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to print. Should I print something as a gift for someone else? Where would I hang another piece of art in my home? What about a sports picture for one of my sons? Too many choices! Then an idea came to me in the middle of the night. Don't you just love those middle of the night ideas?
I decided to print something to use in my booth when I'm set up at the antique shows....my home away from home. I thought this would be a great way to showcase a variety of jewelry designs without taking up a lot of space. Even though most of these pieces have already sold, I thought this would be fun and interesting displayed in an old frame.

Even though most of these pieces have already sold, I thought this would be fun and interesting displayed in an old frame.
I chose twenty pictures of my repurposed jewelry creations and put them together in a collage; each picture is 4" x 4". Unfortunately, this "picture of a picture" really doesn't do it justice. In person, all of the pictures are crystal clear and almost three-dimenstional looking.
Now I'm on the hunt for a perfect frame!
I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend. I got back home early Sunday afternoon and this is how I spent my Friday afternoon......
Yep, I held out.
I have to admit that it was hard concentrating on my favorite magazine with this scenery in front of me.

ReplyDeleteBetsy,
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea and it turned out fabulous! It's the perfect showcase for your beautiful jewelry! The scenery is lovely, as great as the magazine is, I love mine, I'd have a hard time concentrating with that in front of me! BTW, did you see the article on shopping in Nashville? I'm very excited, one of my good friends and a dealer in my old store who now has her own shop got a photo and a mention on page 56, Roses and Rustics!
