Day 26 - Frame making

Weekends are always a challenge for me to get up into my studio.  First of all, I would rather be with my family, who I don't get to see as much during the week!  And there just seems to be a lot of other things that are calling for my attention.    I just didn't make it to the studio to paint today although I sketched everything out onto the panel.  But that is as far as I got.  I did, however, start making frames today, which was a big necessity, as I need a finished one for Monday!! (nothing like last minute...) (If you haven't been here before, in addition to painting, I make ALL of my own frames.  I enjoy woodworking, and it is also kinder on my budget.)   So, that is what I am posting for today. These two frames are both 12" x 24" floater frames for two of my 30 in 30 paintings!  I just finished gluing and air nailing them together and now they are drying, clamped with my awesome frame strap clamps... Tomorrow I will be applying the finish and then putting the paintings in them!
To make up for things, I am going to try to be a super painter tomorrow and paint two pictures.  We will see how that goes.  I can't guarantee anything.,.. :)

A few more frames I am making this week

Here are a few shots of some different frames I am making this week including the Gloria frames in the background, some 1 1/2 " canvas floaters in the middle (also for Gloria), and some panel floaters that will go on my 30 in 30 paintings..... (one is going to Australia...I am so excited I could pee myself..) (o.k. you didn't need to know that...)   I am also designing a frame to go around prints of the 100th anniversary of Reiffton Fire Company painting which I will post about in a few days.  A friend of mine purchased one and I will also be including one of these in the Holiday Show at Art Plus Gallery which opens November 14th... So much going on this time of year.. my head is spinning sometimes!








Anyway, I really like the 1 1/2" canvas floater that I designed for Gloria... I tested an older painting of mine in it earlier today and think I will be making some of these for myself!
