I love frames because there are so many possibilities. Whether it's for photos or artwork or just for a display there are endless uses for them. This is a collage frame from the Goodwill. It was beat up a bit, so I added a new coat of paint in a bright color. My inspiration for the pictures came from something is saw hanging in an office building. Those designs were in black and white and were made from circle and rectangle shapes. My designs as you can see from past work are more free flowing shapes and blobs. I used scrapbook paper and cut the black one to fit the frame. I traced the frame opening shapes and started doodling to come up with a look that I liked. The final drawings were used as templates to trace onto the white paper. Using a scissor with a fine point, I cut out the designs and mounted them on the black paper, framed it up and there you have it. It is something that just about anyone can do and with the popularity of scrap booking there is a good variety of paper to choose from. This same project could be done tomorrow with different supplies and the look would be totally new. I hope this inspires you to do a cut paper project yourself.
