I hope I am happier with the new black painted ones I also had a couple of old purple frames which I am painting black since the paint on them has started to chip..............
It is the first time I have turned my hand to painting anything...........lol
Looks like you did fine...
ReplyDeleteVery Nice, like the black!
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job!
Good for you for trying your hand at a new project! I think that black frames make photos stand out so much better, and every time you look at them now you will smile, knowing you made the improvement. Things we do with our own hands always warms the house and heart! I helped my mom do a large mirror frame with with metallic gold roses once for my little sister's room, and it turned out so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like both colours as frames. But we can choose whatever colours we like, so good on you for having a go. The frames look good.
ReplyDeletei did a wall of mix and match frames i got at goodwill. they were all sizes and shapes some simple some ornate looked totally horrid until i painted them all black and voile it was beautiful and i got tons of compliments, glad you're breaking bad with the ceativity!
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteOh, I have never tried painted anything like said you hadn't.
I think you must have found your new talent, my friend♡♡♡
Love you always, xoxo Miyako*
Well done you o clever one! The frame looks great and I'm sure you're really pleased with your efforts. Gosh, perhaps this is the start of a new Jo-Anne, and you will now be trying your hand at all sorts of 'crafty' things!! Hee Hee!
ReplyDeleteHi dear! I wasn't blogging much lately, but I wanted to let you know that your lovely postcards arrived :) Thank you sooo much!! I will soon publish a post to thank all the people that send me postcards recently, and of course - you will be in that post :))
ReplyDeleteThey look good so far. I've noticed some blogs use sprays to paint their items which I'm wondering if they are better as you don't need turps and also you don't have bits of brush hair left in your painting work. Of course I haven't used it though so I'm not sure how good the spray is.
ReplyDeleteThis lady uses it on everything almost http://signepling.blogspot.com
They look great! I love to reuse and upcycle what I already have instead of buying new. Great job!! :)
ReplyDeleteFor a first-timer, you did great! Love the black frames. Always have. Let's see what else you can get 'crafty' with!! Nice touch.

Tim....Yes a coat of black paint has made a big difference to the frames and I am happy with the outcome
Miyako......Yes I had to start somewhere and the frames were so easy to do
Diane.......Yes it may be the start of a new creative Jo-Anne I am feeling a little more advantageous.....lol
