More Stuff I Made From The TJL Collection
Hey art lovers, TJL here.
I wanted to make something for my sister for her birthday this weekend, and I have been experimenting with some painting techniques to go along with my engraving, and I came up with a quick and easy project. I bought a cheapo 5X7 metal picture frame at Bed Bath And Beyond this morning and after I sponged on a few layers of paint (1st layer grey, 2nd layer black) I etched in a vine pattern I copied off another small picture frame I have in my room. Voila! Let me know what you think. |

This one I finished last night.
I've been wanting to try some 2 dimensional stuff to use with frames, and these small magnetic frames i found at BB&B worked perfectly. The background trees are etched out on a painted steel plate, and the foreground tree is cut out of a pie plate and dry brushed with paint to match the other two trees. The front tree is glued to some wire I glued to the plate to give it a raised effect. The frame is painted the same way I painted the above one. This piece is small, ony 3X4. Sorry the picture isn't very sharp. My camera takes lousy pictures without a flash, and a flash causes too much reflection off the shiny parts of my work. |

Thanks for all the kind words folks.
Here's another frame I finished today, similar in design to the first one. This one is a present for my Aunt for Mother's day. 9th Avenue Design is the name of my little arts and crafts company. I had those cards made up a few weeks ago. |
