my favorite thing to do is to take a mundane object and transform it into something beautiful

the photo is of a woman posing with her dog - all it says on the back of the photo is "winnipeg"
(probably the 1920's)
I'm amazed at the number of photos from this era which I find of women posing with their dogs
and men posing with their cars
I imagine friends asking friends to snap a picture while they pose with their beloved companion
... be it a dog or a car

and another kind of transformation beginning to take place:

Very clever use of such an everyday thing...it looks so much more now.
ReplyDeleteSpring makes itself known slowly....I have snowdrops pushing their noses out too:)
I can only raise my eyebrows when I see what you've made out of such an ordinary item. I have read your blog for years now and I never cease to be surprised at your talent --
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you did this but it is A...MAZ..ING !
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and you are so clever. The tin foil 'frame' suits the photo perfectly, you have done an amazing job. While your pretty little snowdrops are appearing, our leaves are turning red. xx
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!
ReplyDeletethe frames are absolutely beautiful....but the snowdrops give me such hope! would love to know how you made the frames.
ReplyDeleteTo be able to see beauty in the mundane, in the cast off, is a wonderful thing. I love what you did with the pie tin.
ReplyDeleteYesterday on my walk in Old Stone Fort I saw the first buttercup in full bloom. Only one but it was enough to make my heart sing out for spring, it is coming!!

Once again, you prove how clever you are. Super cool. Love the photo too. It goes perfectly in the frame.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute frame that pie pan made! when my dad passed away i inherited 3 huge boxes of old black and white family photos. and i have noticed the woman with dog theme going strong in them. the snowdrops are lovely. i'm just starting to see tulips and other spring plants peeking thru the earth here in indiana.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do that? Turning that pie plate into a frame is absolutely brilliant. And what a beautiful frame it is. You have showcased that sweet old photo so beautifully. Have a wonderful day. Tammy
