As soon as my postcards arrived from The Black Apple I knew I would definitely be framing one of them. So, I dug out this frame and some high gloss oil paint. I debated spray paint, but its too cold outside. And I was looking for a nicer finish than acrylic would give me, and I knew latex would take a ton of coats, so oil it was. We had this on hand from some past unknown project. After a good coat of black I let it dry and added some silver acrylic. I know, I know you shouldn't put acrylic over oil, but it worked just fine. Here is the finished product.

Very cool! Love the frame and The Black Apple postcard!
It's perfect! I also admit to hoarding thrifted frames. I'm happy to announce that I have actually hung several pieces of art on my poor bare walls. For 5 years they've been artless and finally, this month, I found the time and bravery to hang, hang, hang. Where will you put this little darling?
I love it. I've had some frames waiting for me in the garage for years. They've even moved with me a couple of times. You're inspiring me to do something with them...
it looks fantastic! I love it.
I am also one of those who bends the rules when it comes to painting stuff...i.e. putting acrylic over oil...sometimes you just have to...right?
That is absolutely gorgeous and it looks like it was just destined for the print. I love it.
