Feathers & Frames!

As far back as I can remember I have had a love affair with paint. I used to be limited to the basics of spray paint and craft store brush on products. Though since my hubby Chad has come into the picture, my life has never been the same! A bit of background here; Chad has been an automotive painter for 16 years now. He shares in my passion for re-beautifying what was once old. So back to the life changing event. Well he takes the frames that I pick up from second hand thrift stores, garage sales or wherever one begs to go home with me and paints them with glossy automotive paint. This creates a finish like no other. The only complaint I have is that it is so glossy that it is very difficult to photograph without some intense glare.

Once they are dried, I glue and layer multiple frames together to create a real neat artistic look. Top it off with a few feathers and an antique broach. TADA!








We have so many more that I have not shown here. If you are interested in purchasing one, just let me know. They sure are pretty!
