Misde wanted to help me photograph these, wasn't that nice of her?
I found these frames at TJ Maxx ages ago and when I realized what could happen when a mini quilt was glued on over the artwork... I bought all they had.
So when you put these ready made frames together with these mini quilts...
Then the artist tends to get happy. Check out how dimensional they are:
Yeah, I like that!
(I should have tweaked the color, they look a bit washed out in these two photos.)

I was back at UVA today for a post op check up. I'm doing pretty good, still not 100%, Doc tells me maybe another two weeks before I can expect to get my strength back. They took blood to see how I'm doing with the anemia. I'm trying to be patient... but putting recovery and prep for a featured artist exhibit together on the same schedule... well... it's not exactly working for the show or the recovery. Here I am again, pulled in a variety of directions. I am beginning to think it's the story of my life! Do you ever just want to stomp your little foot and tell the world to just stop spinning for a dad-blamed second?! Yeah, I do.
On the way back from my doctor's appt, I stopped by Waynesboro for a little shopping. I was doing it mostly for the exercise, and because I'm always so happy to get out of the house these days that I have trouble going home before I've had a little adventure, somehow, some way. Today I happened in the door of Ross, (like TJ Maxx) and I always check the cheesy reproduction "art" section for frames for quilts...
GUESS WHAT I FOUND?!
More of these dimensional frames! I'm so tickled! I snapped up all they had! (Only four) I may have to take a day and just drive to all the TJ's and Ross's in reasonable distance just to see if I can find more of these! (Put down those car keys, step away from the car!)
Time to get back in the studio again, time's a tick tockin right on by.
