Odds & Sods

Post by prospero »

Made this little frame last week.

Apart from the liner it's basically made of oddments lying about. The outer fluted section was a beat-up old frame that was chucked in the shed yonks ago. The inner ornamented part was a few bits of R&H A600 that I found in the offcuts heap.

Finish is a mix of silver and gold over a deep cherry-red base with a wash of slightly greeny ripple paint.

You're an inspiration Peter. To me, at least. :)

Good advice is best learned, rather than simply listened to.
