Framed vintage art.

So... being the start of spring and all (yay!!!) My arsty, fartsy side has been coming out and Ive been indulging a little in my whimsical love.

I've had a heap of heavy wooden frames I bort years ago just sitting packed away in a container.  I had them on my wall for some time but after a few years I took them down as I like to constantly change the feel of my place.  I was going through this box a few days ago and thought...hmmmmmm, they are very dark stained wood, and Im not too sure if i like the colour of them anymore *blush*

SO, I thought I would breath new life into them and give my home a few new wall hangings.  Give my walls a beath of new life.  As you can see from the pics I went a little crazy. LOL

Here is a before pic of the frames...

Just before their makeover.

I painted them white with an undercoat paint.  once dried I lightly sanded the edges to get that vintage look.

I then printed out some awesome pics from  The graphics fairy . I spent hours trolling thru amazing clipart that was on this site.  I printed out a few pics I realy liked and had a bit of a play.

I relised printing them out on plain paper was, just a bit too plain.  So I used an old french bible that i found at a second hand store for $2 and printed each of the pics onto a page from the bible.  It was very different.

I was quite happy with the end result.

 This was what the end result was...

The one above with the little sparrow is my absolute fav!

Im now tempted to do a frame collage on one of my walls as they all look so great bunched together...hmmmmm, another thought for another day....
