"Mascara Girl" gets 'Framed'!

I am so excited to share with you all my favorite client project to date!!  This was so fun to create and you will see why!!  "Mascara Girl" was inspiring to me as an artist!!  (As with all my pics, you can't beat seeing in person!!)

Isn't she FUN!!!  Up close of corner.
I LOVE how the blues and greens compliment each other!

LOVE!  This is an 11X14 picture opening.
Total dimensions are approximately 22" X 24"
Also considered a "Double Layer" frame.

SASSY!!
The finish is "Red Mahogany" on the back layer;
Aqua/Blue Green on the center layers.

Love this angle/view!!

This was a special order made custom for this pic, however....since it is a COMPLETE ORIGINAL, it can be duplicated!  I am going to make an 8X10 and 5X7 very similar so MESSAGE me to reserve yours today!!

The Monstrosity is Complete!!

This was by far - the LARGEST project we have ever worked on, Literally!!  But, with every new challenge, we learn A LOT!!

Here is a fullsize pic of the BEAST!!  And yes, that is me standing next to it to show scale!!  I am only a whopping 5'2", so you get the picture!!  I just hope they can actually get this in the service elevator or else, they will be carrying it up 17 flights of stairs!!  I refuse to witness this process as I am just a "Nervous Nelly"!

Total Dimensions are 90 1/2" X 69" = HUGE!!!

Here is a corner pic with framed cork board.

This is a corner pic with the map.

Picture opening is 4X6
Total dimensions of this beauty are 11x13

A MONSTROSITY!!

This MONSTER ( ~ 6ft X 8ft) has been taking up my living and dining room for almost a week now!!   It has definitely been a 2 person job as it is SO large to handle!!  Not completely put together but I had to share what's been up in the workshop for the last week.  Behind this map is a CORK BOARD!!!  Pretty genius but a LOT of work and creativity!! Oh and the frame itself is a complete one of a kind design made from scratch!! Our 1st attempt on such a LARGE scale!!

This is a peek of the Corner!!



Up Close of Corner!
Finish is what I will call "Burnt Mahogany"

It's so LARGE, I cannot get the whole thing in the pic!

It's a Map of Shreveport for a conference room wall!

11X14 Personal Frame and Favorite!

I am posting better pics of this monster, 11X14 member of my personal frame collection.  It is NOT for sale but I want to share with you all anyway...  (We can, however duplicate a similar frame)...

The total dimensions of this beauty are ~ 26" X 29" and is what we call a "Triple Layer" frame because it consists of 3 layers of materials atop the base frame.  It is solid and heavy!! (I had posted this before, but the color just did not do it justice.  So, I made a second attempt and it is pretty close.)

Up Close, top corner
This finish is Salvia/Walnut (A light green/with walnut tint)

About 5 fence posts wide!!



Bottom corner....Beautiful detail!!

When I took this BIG love off of my wall to take photos of it, my wall was suddenly BARE!!  I couldn't wait to hang it back but needed the help of my hubby to lift overhead (old shoulder issues lol).

Thanks for looking, as always.  I just wanted to share with you all more of what we can do!!  Let me know if you have a very special picture/memory you would like to enhance with a piece of "wall art/furniture" handmade by me (and now with the help of my hubby!!).

Anyone in the market for a unique Towel hook rack?

This towel hook rack is made from new and recycled materials completely refinished and put together by me last week!  My husband wants me to keep it but I really don't have a wall for it in this house...

So, for the right price, I may consider selling it...  Let me know if you have an offer...



The base is more golden (dark cream) than pictured...



Up Close.  Still, the base color is a little more golden "bone" color.

Some of my latest projects at home

I told you all I went on an antique weekend shopping trip in March.  Well here are some pics of one of the finished projects!

My boys, ages 11 and 8, fight constantly while doing homework and I have been wanting to get them there own "old school" desks for their rooms. 

I picked these up for $15/each!! WOW!!  You cannot purchase something like this new for $15 nor can you build it for $15 as solid as they are...  And I'm RECYCLING!!  They each have the front opening for books/storage...Perfect.  Here is a before of one:

After sanding...

My oldest just wanted his to be darker, simple and "old fashioned" like his little old soul! So I just darkened it up with my newest secret weapon!

Desk "after" for oldest son!

My second son is a young "free spirit" and wanted his blue...  I, of course, would not leave it as just solid blue, so I worked some magic....  It's even more adorable in person.

Desk "after" for second son!

And I am pleased to share that homework time is MUCH more peaceful which definitely makes for a more harmonious home!!  All for the price of $30 and about 30 minutes of my time!!

I have many, many more projects that I came home with and will post my before and after shots to share with you all!!

Thanks for looking!
