I want to share

With all of you on this super day, something I got back from the framer a few weeks back.  But first, I want to thank all of you who commented on my great finish of T5 yesterday, and the feedback about the border.  I was thinking similar thoughts, but was teetering on the fence.  I have now fallen off :)
So, I had 3 items framed, and since they all turned out so beautifully, I am going to showcase them all separately.  I know, I know, the suspense is going to kill you right???!!! LOL.
So may I present Double Dee, or Dona Dorothea Gazano y Garcia from Scarlet Letter.  Remember, I have stepped out of the comfort box just a tiny bit, and I think that next time I might step out knee deep!!!!!!  I am sooo thrilled with the turnout.  What do you think??!!!!!!!!!!!

As you can see with the close up pics, I have 2 frames on this piece.  I love how the bronze just adds a bit of spice to her, just a hint, just a touch of color.  My framer suggested it and I couldnt resist.  There is a slight glare on the bottom pic, but I do choose to frame my girls with glass.  For me, it just is finishes it. 
So what is all the excitement about with this frame?  Well, it is in the colors that I love, but it is more ornate than I usually choose.  I must say, that I am looking forward to another round of framing soon, and I will most certainly choose 'fancier' frames.  All of my frames vary in slight color, all blend just perfectly, I am more of a classic framer and I look forward to finding a home for Double Dee among the other girls.  I am sure she will fit in just perfectly :)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting--I love reading them, it doesnt take much to excite me!!!!  LOL.  There is much planned for this weekend that lies ahead of us, and I am super excited!!!!!!!  It is a great day :)

  6. I love the layered feather look of the outer frame! It really sets off the various textures in your piece. She is Devine, Double D with a G y G! Well done.
