Here is the pile I started making at a local shop. See the frame at the bottom? I have an idea for the mirror too, but that's another post.
There are many layers of paint on this piece. I alternated white, grey, and watered down brown. I also did a lot of mixing and dry brushing, so I can't give you an exact formula. I just play with it. Then I distressed it.
I added one of my french book pages.
A little more old world.
I'll be back to share some of my other finds, and their transformations.

Absolutely beautiful! I love ornate frames and grab one every time I see one at a yard sale or flea market. I have a few in my stash and you've inspired me to play!
You know I love your work but this really is special. I have a soft spot for these kind of frames!
Thats just beautiful! Love ornate frames and love how you have redesigned them…x
Very pretty! It is amazing the difference a little paint can make. :)

Those frames are just gorgeous! All those layers you put on make them look so old--love it!
What an amazing frame Rosemary. I love what you have done with it. I too love those painting projects where you just keep adding layers and seeing where it takes you.
OMGoodness Rosemary, those frames are gorgeous! Your work is such an inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful day. Hugs, Gail
What a beautiful frame, Rosemary! The mirror was a great find, too. Can't wait to see how stunningly that turns out. When I find frames like this I get so excited. It's not often I find anything with detail. Usually just your everyday plain frames.
Rosemary you are just fabulous! I love the frame :) Have a great day.
The frame is gorgeous!...and I am in love with that mirror!!!
