Creative Dawn

  Do you know that puzzle game with the tiles that you move around to get the correct picture?  I don't know what it's called buy I'm sure many people had something like this as a child.  This is a frame made with that concept.  I bought it at a consignment store for 5.50 and instead of using photographs, I just drew a bunch of little hearts.  It's kinda cool because it is a constantly changing piece of artwork.  Just slide the tiles around and the design is different.  I wish that I was able to get more of these frames because there are a lot of ideas in my head that would be really look great in that frame.  Maybe I'll just change it out every now and then.  You can see in the different views of the frame that the tiles do really move.

 Let's go on a few days of hearts.  This is day two.  The picture on the left is how it originally looked, the right is after painting it.   It measures at about 12 inches tall and 4 inches wide a great size to accent a small area. Because of the cutouts, it was trickier to get an idea.  In the end, I painted it brown and then using the tip of my paint brush, applied dots in various colors and patterns.  The hearts are also painted a rust color.  I had a small spot between a couple of doorways where it fit in perfectly and it also compliments the woodwork.
