Color.

Prior to choosing my color palette for my frames I need to be inspired!

I always turn to:
COLOURlovers is a fantastic website to share colors, palettes and patterns. Discuss the latest trends and explore colorful articles....all in the spirit of love.
&
Jim Krause Color Index has over 1100 Color Combinations, CMYK and RGB Formulas, for Print and Web Media.

I also, gathered some photos that I took that will help me in the process of choosing a strong color palette.








Which color palette is your favorite?

First Stages.

● First, I choose what dimension of Balsam wood I would like to use. For this frame I preferred a 1" width, 3 feet long piece of wood.

● I cut and lined up all the various sized pieces of wood on the frame.

● Then, I sanded all the pieces individually.

what f-u-e-l-e-d my passion....

Strolling around in Brooklyn, N.Y. with my other half a.k.a lover, we wandered into a shop - name unknown. I saw an eye-catching, vintage, beautiful picture frame. Checked out the price and immediately said no way!

Snatched a picture - created her twin for my b.f. - he loved it - created one for my Aunt + Cousin - got the same enthusiastic reaction which lead me to my passion!

I create vintage wooden handmade picture frames
