Framing Time!

I feel like the squirrels running around gathering supplies for the winter! I'm busy preparing for my solo exhibition which opens on October 8, and am ready to frame a 'crop' of new pastels and oils. I'm glad that I started to 'forage' well ahead of time, since some of the supplies are taking a while to find..... hand-guilded gold frames are coming from GA, length moulding for pastels arrived from VA, my husband is hand-crafting a floater frame from native PA maple for a large oil, and mat board is back-ordered from the distributor in the soft, off-white tint which I prefer. So..... I've found lots of tasty supplies, and as soon as they land on the ground in my studio, I'll be off and running cutting mats, and assembling framing components. I'm really excited about my latest work, in both oil and pastel, and can't wait to put on the finishing touch of harmonious frames! See my website (www.alicekelsey.com) for more info. about my show.
