I had PT this morning and needed it in a big way. I woke up in pain, so I finally took an anti-inflammatory and Handsome drove me to my appointment. I'm feeling much better, but that my excuse for this late post - and I'm sticking with it.
I'm sharing a photo of how I decided to preserve and protect my goldwork birds. Handsome purchased this shadowbox frame ages ago for another purpose, but I came across it still unused, so I appropriated it.
I attached dark-colored, round-head pins and then hung the birds from those. I used similar pins to secure the bottom of each ornament to keep them from twisting. I'm quite chuffed with how it turned out, and the frame now hangs in the hall outside my studio where I can see it every day.
This afternoon is another classmate dinner, but I didn't want to leave again without writing today's post. I'll be on time tomorrow, for sure! See you then.
Nah, I think Handsome must have purchased it knowing that someday you would put it to perfect use. 😄 It's just right! And it's nice to see those lovely birds again!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois-
DeleteYou must be right! Even he has said how much he likes them framed this way. I reminded him it was actually his, but he told me he liked this use better. Thanks so much, dear. Have a great holiday weekend.

That frame was obviously meant to be used for your birdies (which is why it hadn't been used already). They look great, and protected from the evil dust.
ReplyDeleteHi MA-
DeleteIt sure turned out to be perfect, didn't it? The dust protection was a huge bonus. Thanks, girlfriend.
