My friend, Tina, made me some wonderful, circular frames.
These are 1/4" wide. The top one fits a picture that I made in one of her art classes.
The bottom one has been painted with a silver nail polish, and circled with a braided silver trim. The picture is of Vern and I cutting our wedding cake almost 53 years ago.
One of my Christmas gifts was a bag of Hershey's kisses with a Grinch theme.
Now it's stupid but every single tinfoil wrapper that comes inro my house is saved. And these were so unique that I just couldn't resist.
So I had Tina make me some more pieces: Six with an outer diameter of 2" and one with an outer diameter of 1.75". She then cut 1/8" "frames" from around all the pieces. Then I covered the inner portions with the tinfoil from the candies and framed them with the outer pieces. The smaller frame was painted red and the larger ones were painted green.
Then I put the green pieces in the shape of a tree and topped it with the red-framed Grinch.
Sort of silly I know but it was fun to do. So I showed it to my friend, Marg, who of course asked what I was going to do with it. Just as I was about to type "Darned if I know!", it came to me! I'm going to mount it on poster board and mount it on the back of my Christmas shop. That's the plan anyway.
Tina has a shop on Etsy with all sorts of great things - especial if you're into 1:48.
