Art Gallery

This year, my budding artist was asked to have her art work displayed at the Art Show.  She was so excited. We went to the show and saw many talented little people. We brought the art home and it felt like a shame to just put it in a folder where we wouldn't see it again until she went to college.  She was very proud of her work and wanted to put it up in her room.  Up she went with the tape and her picture.  It looked nice up on the wall, but it also looked lonely.

I started thinking about framing her art work but the thought of having to change each picture out was daunting. (She makes a  lot of pictures.) I was looking through frames that I had and found one that was missing the glass and BOOM, I thought if there is no glass it was easy to change. But I only had one :(

So I decided to ask for help. (If I have a broken frame surely others do too.) I posted my Facebook status asking my friends for broken picture frames they were willing to part with, and I hit the mother load. I easily had about 15 frames.

Alex wanted to help.

Alex picked 10 frames and spray paint and we started painting the frames. ( Remember to do this in a well ventilated area. We used the garage)

Her Art Show picture is the fish with the pink background.  She used pointillism to create the fish :)

I have to say it looks pretty good and she can change the pictures as many times as she wants to.
