Refinishing Frames 2

So you saw the frames a couple posts ago, after they had been sanded and primed. Here they are after a couple coats of paint.

Most will be black, a couple will be the lime green color.

I'm still on the search for more frames. I have about 5 more already purchased that need to be sanded, but I'd like to have the rest collected before I start that process, then I can refinish them all at once. If anyone knows of thrift stores in the Rockland County, NY area with good frame selections, let me know!

Refinishing Frames

In preparation for my show in February I have started refinishing frames.

I really wanted to use old frames from thrift stores and yard sales. I love the way it looks when an eclectic collection of frames go together and don't necessarily "match". Plus its environmentally friendly and cost effective!

Since the frames are different shapes and sizes, I'm painting them all black (and a few bright green) so they feel cohesive. Above you see a few them after they were sanded and the first coat of primer has been applied.
