Fantasy

Last night, I indulged in flights of fantasy....while I cut multiple strips of edging for two paintings.  These paintings are headed for two different shows but both paintings need to be out of the house this weekend. 

So, I waited until practically the last moment to:
  • measure and cut the frames
  • attach them to the painting
  • stain the edging
I'm still learning the best way to put the frames together.  Stain first, then cut.  Cut first, then stain?

How about making them look more professional....by measuring before cutting?  What a novel idea!  What about measuring before drilling pilot holes?  Brilliant!

But I digress. 

I cut the strips of edging with a hacksaw, all eight cuts. 

Meanwhile, I dreamt of this.

And this.  :-)
