Getting ready
Hi again, I'm still pulling my hair out, but one very big problem has been solved. "Giselle" will be shown at the gallery (Art Beat) for the month of October. I'm doing this on a shoestring so framing her has been a creative nightmare. A carpenter friend was going to build me one, but had a fire last weekend so is now too busy cleaning up. Saturday, I ran into the owner of a local gallery and frame shop, explained my problem, and he offered to see what he had in "recycled" frames. I brought Giselle in, and walked out with an absolutely wonderful frame, perfect for her, and way, way more expensive than I could ever hope for. I cried all the way home. Now I'm scared to death it will be ruined somehow! As it is on loan for the month of the show, I will put a sign with his business on it, to do a little advertising for him.
Here's Giselle, all dressed up (I'm afraid to take the protective wrapping off till the show). The frame is a dull brushed gold with a walnut inset, 3.5 in wide.
