framing + painting
so, this last week, i have been slowly finishing my "kyoto flower" paint-by-number from Weego Home. i love it. the only part i have left on it is the white outline around everything needs to be painted a beigy color that came with the kit. i think it will look great once it is complete. i has been alot of fun.
cj also taught me the fine art of matting and framing artwork yesterday, and i have been MADLY matting everything i own. i turned our front room into workshop central, brought a table in, got some new blades and started cutting. i have had a closet FULL of frames and prints to put on the walls, but alas, they are not framed, so i really went for it last night and today and got a bunch done. it is really satisfying to cut a mat precisely and get something framed. so now i can finally enjoy things on the walls, they will look so good. i can't wait to see everything up.

Jess it looks great! I wish I knew how to mat and frame my own stuff.
Sweet pictures! I would love to learn how to mat. Maybe sometime you can teach me? It's hard sometimes to find a frame that fits your picture size, it would be nice to know how to cut the mat to fit.
did you do all those paintings? they are great!
I really like the last picture you posted.
