now it's finished

i

I know you've seen this before...

but it wasn't completely finished

and I had to leave it to go out of town.

I've put it in a frame I've made out of old barnwood

and added a few more details...

The one remaining constant is my

crappy photography!

 I used Ranger Crackle paint around the edges.

My first experience

with this was pretty darn frustrating...

but thanks to the incredibly talented Alicia and her expert advice...

I think I've got the hang of it. I know...it seems self explanatory

but I have little patience with paint.

I'd rather handsew tiny details for a hour...
