Decorating!

Hallo, ladies.

I've recently spent a couple days buying second hand picture frames and framing bits of my own work and that of the talented Kurt Halsey.


My kitchen wall.

I took a two Kurt pictures and some corrugated cardboard and glued them to a dry erase board.

His "Scour/Scowel" piece, with a small piece that says "breathe". I distressed a silver frame by rubbing it with my emery board and generally being none too careful about handling it. I then applied a watered down mixture of black brown and red paint, let it set for a minute and sopped up some of the moisture with a paper towel.

Just painted a frame and background to match the piece.

On the left is a picture of a koi and a lily I panted on a vinyl record for my boyfriend. It's framed in a record frame, non painted. On the right is a picture of a lily that I did in pastels for said boyfriend. Painted a second hand frame black and the background green.

Kurt fishies. The orange/yellow frame was an accident. I painted it orange first, but it dried obnoxiously red, so I added yellow overtop, but I didn't have the patience and it ended up streaky. So I blotted it with crumpled up paper bags. The right one is just a simple paint job on an old frame.

(not so crafty, but same them- Prints I bought from Kurt)



Close-ups of the prints.

Reference for smaller picture collage.

THe small tag says "moment monument". I recently moved it and replaced it with a green picture. But I don't have a photo of that yet.

Kurt print in simple frame, with added bit in the corner.

a print I ordered for the boyfriend back when we were long distance. This one was the hardest to frame because it's poster-sized and goodwill didn't have many big frames. I did a mix of black and red on the frame, I believe, and had to add hanging wire to the back. Centered it on a really old piece of paper (it was originally white, I'm sure.)

Thanks for looking. I hope you like!
