Although I make jewelry, I’ve never otherwise considered myself to be a very crafty person. I believe I can cook…people love my cooking! And I also love to write poetry and write here on this blog. But my attempts at art are generally bad! For this reason, I try to keep projects simple! One thing that I’ve found just about anyone can do is make wreaths! Today I’ve got a very simple Valentine’s Day Wreath that I made out of used dryer sheets!
Yes, you read that right—dryer sheets! So basically today we have simple, crafty, economical project, and a form of recycling all rolled in to one post! [Read more…]
As you get ready organize and decorate your home in this new year, you can instantly create new looks in any room just by updating your family photos and picture frames. Picture Frame Guys has premier frames in a variety of types and colors, as well as other supplies. And their site is also a great resource of information on the materials and process of framing.
Even First Time Buyers will find it easy to place their orders, by following their four easy steps: Frame, Mat, Mounting Board and Glass.
When choosing your frame, you get to pick between the traditional wooden frame and a more contemporary metal frame.
Next you will choose your matting. The primary purpose is to put an air space between the glass and the artwork so that the two do not stick to each other over time. A secondary purpose of matting is to create a border between the frame and the artwork, thereby drawing the viewers eye inward, towards the piece. For matting, you will need to choose the grade of matting you would like, as well as the number of layers, and the color(s).
Next you will choose your mounting board, and finally you will choose your glazing. You can choose standard, anti-glare, ultra violet reducing glazing.
The perfect frame and matting will really give your artwork and family photos something extra and make them really pop!
