My mom made a special request for her Christmas gift. Do you remember my block printed feathers from September? You can see them here. My mom asked that I print them on paper and frame them for her back room.
I used a beautiful sheet of paper in a "brown paper bag" color and printed the feathers in a red oil based ink. My husband has another convenient hobby, in addition to turning seam rippers, he also frames. We purchased the pitted pecan frame cut to the right dimensions but he cut the glass and properly backed the artwork and taped the seams and added hardware. He cuts mats too but the print alone measured 17" square and I didn't want it to overwhelm my mother's wall so I opted to skip a mat.
We had a wonderful day yesterday and I hope you all did too.
The picture is so pretty and the frame goes perfect!

ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, you can never turn down mum requests :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! How nice that your mom can sort of "go shopping" with you. It's a great idea and the bonus is that you know she loves it.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture in the faint printing around the feathers. That would be a great fabric too!:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Wow - the two of you are quite the talented combo… :-)
ReplyDeleteAmy, you've created such a fine gift for your mom! The paper and ink color complement each other well. The framing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteContinued best wishes to you for a fabulous New Year, full of creative discovery.
