February Fully Finished Gallery

The first week-or-so of February has been gone in a flashy blur for me, but here we are, I remembered and even managed to get a finish done in time for the second check-in of Rachel's wonderful Fully Finished Gallery! Well, technically, Felix did the finishing, but I did some of the work too. 

A week ago, I went to a flea market, which was a bit of a disappointment (because I guess most of the sellers only came in on Saturday, and most of the ones who *were* there Friday evening were already packing up at 5:30! But at least I did find the one thing I really came for, and that was a super cool frame for 'For Every Problem'. The seller said something about 'Art Noveau' but I don't really know about these things. I do think it's a pretty good fit though, both in size and colour!

It's old enough that taking out the old picture was a bit of work, but then I turned it over to Felix, he did his magic, and voilá!

I think I wanna bring this one to my office and put it on the wall there. Seems like a very fitting saying for an IT person, doesn't it? Very pleased with how it turned out!

Nice finish. Like the sentiment.

It’s a fabulous frame and perfect for this design. I’d say more Art Deco than Nouveau but what do I know?

Perfect frame for the saying. Lovely work!

Thank you for Felix's entry into this month's FFG SAL! The frame is perfect and was definitely a lucky find. I hope it looks good in your office.
