Antique Frames for New Art...Analog!

in #art7 years ago (edited)

I have been making small art works in old paper photo table top frames. I was invited to a show where my space was in the middle of the room on a table-so I wanted to make small stand up pieces & already had several of these on hand, it worked out great to re-purpose these old treasures. I think they work with the paintings and the collage. Everything sold out at the show!

I priced these at $30-$50 depending oh the size. The tallest were about 10" I received several custom requests from these which I am working on now! I will share those later if it feels right.

Thank you for being amazing!

I particularly love the third one, how the map overlays on a little girl. The combination of different materials is also great!

Thank you so much. That little girl was my mom’s little sister. I just love old maps & papers, part of a 1880’s receipt survived this long.

These are so fking great!

Thank you! I am loving working small and of course in these frames and i NEED some higher powered glasses!
