 Picture Frames Hello there. Seeing as how I recently joined this forum, I have been rooting around and found some work I did in the past. These picture frames were carved almost 20 years ago. I carved them out of red cedar with my pocket knife (I didn't have carving tools at the time). The design is my own. One day I will put glass in them and special pictures. Still not sure about the finish. Christopher the Garden Gnome  |

| Re: Picture Frames Beautiful frames! I see only one negative. How in the world will you find something to go in there? It will take a very unusual picture to not be overpowered by the frame. Good work.

| Re: Picture Frames Thank you for the kind words. These were originally carved to sport the baby pictures of my 2 sons and carved just after they were born. After the divorce I never had the heart to finish them. They have been in one box or another all this time. What is surprising is that they are still in one piece, although, I did have to scrape some white paint off the odd spot, flicked there from some long-gone-by wall painting expedition. They are designed to fit a standard 8" x 10" piece of glass. Thor, I really like the idea of using mirrors. I recently took up water color painting again and have considered mounting some of those. Thanks for the interest, everyone. Christopher the Garden Gnome |
