I’ve been working away on those blank wooden picture frames to make them into Wild West themed picture frames! I decided to take the second frame in a girly direction, pulling out some retired DSP and embellishments. (You can see my first Wild West picture frame by following the link.)
Once again I pulled out the Simply Pressed Clay. I got right to work laboring over some cowgirl boots (not that my “cowgirl boots” look any different than “cowboy boots” mind you). I finally formed them into an acceptable shape and set them out to dry. Back at the picture frame, I was adding finishing touches to what could be done before adding the boots. . . . Then I realized . . . I made the boots facing the wrong direction . . . Ugh. Back to the clay to try again . . .
You can be assured the first pair of boots will appear on another frame, they will NOT go to waste!
Would you like to see the second frame?The designer paper I used, along with the various roses are all retired items while the doily and clay are still available in our current Stampin’ Up! Catalog.
Here is a close up picture of the boots. I don’t claim to be very good with clay, but I figure when my husband and children can tell me what they are, they must be passable.
Two more picture frames to go. I don’t mean to clog the blog with tons of picture frames . . . but I try to share what I’m working on . . . and this just happens to be what I’m working on . . . around Christmas Floral Arrangement preparations!
I’m off to teach Kindergarten today. Maybe I should take a frame for the class to decorate, what do you think?
Becky, I never tire of anything that you create. You have pressed my buttons with the “Wild West Auction Frame II”, I have boots, not that color, which I love on this frame. I wish I lived close enough and I would be the first to arrive and the last to leave. I would wear my jeans and boots, no hat and a nice western shirt. I wouldn’t mind having a frame exactly like the one you so carefully created, I would take such good care of it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation and you have a fun day at school with all the children.
