"Canned" Photos

Just got an interesting item from PhotoJo this morning. www.photojo.com They suggest using jelly and canning jars as photo frames! Here is a photo to show what they are suggesting: I particularly like the short jar near the left...on their site they even show using Coke bottles, but to me they are not as attractive.

Crystal's Birthday Present

This all started from the beginning of a new painting. I loved how the angel wing turned out, so photographed it knowing I could "do something with it". This is one thing I've done with it...The wings, which were printed on Sheer Heaven are lifted off the background, then the image of the woman is lifted even higher. She holds a sign that says, "Here are your wings, now fly." Bars of music were cut from a page then formed into a bow and below that a twig, feathers, buttons and a paper wasp nest were arranged. It is framed in a black shadowbox frame.
