A few days ago, Elsie gave me this sweet little painting from her recent black & white series...
I loved it instantly (it kind of reminds me of this picture of mine!), but I was afraid it wouldn't stand out from our stark white walls.
So, I cut some pretty fabric into a thin strip--this piece is actually from a dress I hemmed for Elsie's shop, so it's extra special--and ruffled it by hand while making a long machine stitch down the center...
Then, I just used a thin line of all-purpose, washable glue (I wanted to be able to remove it later if I needed to, and not compromise the artwork) on the back edge of the canvas, and attached the ruffle! Instant frame, instant cute.
It looks so good above my desk in between these two vintage silk dresses.
Love! Thank you, Elsie! xoxo

Supa Dupa cute! As I sat and crocheted a scalloped ruffle onto a shawl for my kiddlet last night I thought to myself "wouldn't a crocheted ruffle picture frame be rad". Now I'm thinking of a whole cluster of handmade textile frames. Thanks for the tute.
