I looked at them yesterday and realized they would both work really well in the Clocktower Cottage. So, with a shortage of time--not possible to get them framed professionally--I came up with an interesting and CHEAP solution.
Here's what I did:
Went to Joanne Fabrics and bought enough trim to go around the perimeter of each.
Then I got out my hot glue gun and attached the trim to the sides of the canvas.
When I had them both finished I needed a way to cover up the rough spot where the cut edges meet, so I made these:
And then I stood back and said "Why didn't I think of this before"??
Now, I just have to figure out how to get these in my luggage.
These exude cottage charm!! I wanted to also mention that you could unravel the jute on the buttons for a fluffy look. When I get back home I'll unravel some, snap a pic, and send it, just in case you want a feathery look instead of the dancing jute look!! But that could be the "new" 2015-16 look!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to "be" with you for a while today. The wine sure took the edge off for me, and I suggested to Elena that she begin drinking! I'm finishing up chores and getting dinner for two ready while E gets Kevin ready for bed. Honestly, she amazes me.
Buon viaggio. . .ci sentiamo. . .buona fortuna!! Sei fortunata e sono molto felice che questo sogno รจ vero!!
