To Soar on Silver Wings! How wonderful that would be!
Hey Gang! I took a blog breather for a few days! It is strange how you can become so addicted to blogging and really miss it!
Obviously, I love to make things! I mean have a passion to create! It's in my blood! My Dad was the same way! Dad was a Civil Engineer, so I was raised with graph paper diagrams and hour long lectures on how things worked. He could do anything! He made silver jewelry, furniture and even solar collectors just to name a very few... you name it he could make it! I will never be my Dad, but how awesome is it to try to emulate him!
Yep, I was going somewhere with the paragraph above, not exactly the segway I was intending but, when I was working on this frame project, I completely lost time and was so in the zone. Which basically translates to, I really enjoyed making this. I think it turned out pretty cool.
It is simple, not expensive to make and I feel very effective when it was completed. But once again, In the eye of the maker may be completely different to others! LOL! The idea, totally lifted from the frames I saw at market in Dallas. I believe the awesome winged frames were by Kelly Rae Roberts. See my Market photos for the inspiration pieces.
OK, OK, enough rattlin' on and on! Here is the Soar On Silver Wings Valentines Frame for your perusal. I will put the tutorial up tonight if you are interested!
From this...
To this....
Jim, this frame is great! You truly are a gifted designer. Isn't it so rewarding as we go through process of putting something together (that we've already "seen" in our heads). The end result is a smile on our face and a smile inside our creative soul. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see your tutorial. Have a great day! I'm off to my crafting table!
