So... you would think that someone who takes bunches of pictures would have at least some of them up on her walls. Well, not me. I am sooo bad at actually printing my pictures and putting them on display. Don't really know what my problem is. I'm not just talking about my artsy, flowery type of pictures, I'm talking about family pictures, pictures of my husband and me, pictures of my daughter! Ugh, I am so bad.
Anyways... I finally got a fire under my butt and printed a bunch and got frames for them. It's been my project this weekend and I'm loving it. I think I'm on a printing kick now 'cause I have about 50 more pictures waiting to be picked up at Costco! Yay!
I'm always making frames too big for the clamp.
(there's supposed to be a 6" long piece of threaded rod where the pipe clamp is, does for most folks I guess)
There are over 100 little leather squares and rectangles on this picture frame. I made it yesterday, and I love how it turned out!
This photo shows the frame after the second of three layers of toning.
The first layer is a wash of Van Dyke Brown casien paint. The whole frame is painted thinly, then wiped back with a damp rag. This allows the paint to lay thickly in the crevices and details (places that would also hold accumulations of dust and grime) while giving a faint, darkening haze to the frame overall. After the paint is dry, I seal it with thin orange shellac.
Shellac, incidentally, is pretty interesting stuff. It's made from bug poop, you know! The Lac beetle is native to southeast Asia. It eats a particular tree sap, then craps out gobs of "lac". These gobs are gathered up and soaked in alcohol until they dissolve. It's then allowed to dry into thin brittle sheets. The sheets crumble into flakes, which is how I buy it. Unlike premixed shellac, I get greater control of color and consistency. The flakes are sold in a variety of colors from "Blond" which is nearly clear, to "Ruby Red". Mostly I use Orange and Amber. I soak it for 24 hours in denatured alcohol, then mix it again to the consistency I need.
The second wash, shown by this photo, is Burnt Sienna Casien. It is a thiner wash, but not wiped back so much. It gives a warm depth to the details. Again, it's sealed with shellac.
