chicken wire frame...

I'm making some progress on my new collection of old frames.
This big one here...


Now looks like this...


I made my own mixture of white and black aiming for a nice, chic hue of grey...but it looks more blue than grey.  Still, very pretty.


The chicken wire was a huge pain in the patoot - partially because of the design of the back of the frame - and even though I swore I'd never make another one of these frames it turned out SO cute that I might make another one.


So whhat do you think?  Do you like the grey?  Or should I stick to white, black and Caribbean Mist?  :)

What crafty crafts have you been crafting lately?

I really love the gray and I love the idea. I wonder what it would look like if you wrapped the chicken wire over the front of the frame and stapeled it to the back? That's not a suggestion or a reference to your piece. Seeing your work just made me wonder if that would make the wire more accessible. Thank you for sharing. I have not seen that kind of note board before. I do like it.
