Art supply rebel that I am -
expensive mats, frames, and framing
are not immune to my rebellion
I prefer to do it my own way
These are all my latest photo transfers on canvas board.
With each one I've painted a border.
Copper tape, solder, jump rings, and a short chain finish them off.
I rather like the result.
You might say it borders on something ...

Oh I love this!!! Well done, you rebel, you!!! oxoxo jean
Borders on brilliance! I do so want to learn to solder. I have actually soldered but it was to replace a faucet when I had a broken pipe. Neatness didn't count.
What a perfect solution. And solder is not all that hard to do. Love your painted borders. Great designs.
Maybe I really am a Robot. Ha that is funny I have not seen that before.
What an interesting idea. . .I do love the bright borders, they really pop.
Here's to thinking outside the box!!
love it! I am a co-rebel...I resist using traditional frames with glass to finish off an art piece...your borders are magnificent -does your art work justice!
The addition of the DIY metal frame is brilliant.
What a fab idea......and so very special.
Wow! Truly fantastic! Your handpainted borders are just gorgeous and really enhance your images.
There is no boring in your world. These are scrummy and wonderful. Who wouldn't smile seeing them on the wall. xox
Love these !! I love the way you have finished your canvases off with the bright, original, patterned borders + the metal. Fabulous !
These are gorgeous, truly different :o)
love love love this!
Gosh I love this technique. My life was a Crazy Train when you originally posted this and I totally missed it. So glad you posted another recently. I just have to try this.

fantastic!
Oh, wow! I feel so inspired to do something like this myself. How can I learn to do this, too?! Amazing!
It's all about experimenting and playing with paint! Have fun with it!
