So I collect frames. Collect. Frames.
Maybe "collect" is too mild of a word..."obsessively hoard" is more like it. I'm drawn to them, they're drawn to me, I find them wherever I go. My favorites were found at an estate sale several months ago, it was like "Frame Mecca" in that house. They were everywhere and ranged from 1890's-1950's. Seriously. Wow.
There was the 1920's Adirondack rustic frame with large carved flowers on the corners, the extremely detailed late 1800's frame complete with bubbled-out glass, and a tiny frame with wood, leather, and a gold mat. Those plus 4 others for about $20.
Would you believe I have a whole room covered in frames? Almost every surface is covered in frames and there are even those that are hanging 2-3 per nail. They're so fascinating and beautiful. I have ideas for most of them, the majority will wind up framing my art, but others I love just having on the wall as art themselves.
