Huge Ornate Frame

Sometimes it is better to leave things as they were found. You can see the ornate gold coloured relative frame size when I took it to my booth at Village Antiques Mall.

The frame size is about 2 x 4 feet. At home it was not easy to find a contrast to show size.

I love the elaborate applied decoration as well as the depth of the frame. I seriously thought about painting the frame white and waxing it BUT this is a seriously gorgeous huge frame. I did not want to limit its future.

The frame came with a scenic painting that was not as beautiful as the frame. I removed the painting. Then I had an inspiration - why not remove the painted canvas from its frame and stretch a light colored piece of fabric on the frame and use it for a backdrop. Easy to store when not in use, instant plain backdrop when needed. 

The idea sifted through from reading blogs yesterday when one writer wrote about an etsy shop selling vinyl backdrops. I checked them out (so very nice). If/when I remember the blog I will add it to this post. Found it The Clueless Thrifter. I have been pinning photo light boxes and this seems like a partial solution.

So, a non-tweaked frame but a tweaked "removed the painted canvas from its frame and stretch a light piece of fabric instead" for photo backdrops.
