laying down as a sculpture

The vintage safety deposit box (so there may be a few nicks or dents here and there but it truly beautiful and was rescued from an old vault in the small town where I live) spoke to me as soon as I saw it and knew I wanted to try using it as a frame

We used our own abstract weaving technique throughout in what I like to call "unicorn colors" because they are so bright and happy

Now I'm playing with some of their newer frames - decorative oval frame

and now to share it with you

Although I loved them, I hadn't made more after that first batch. This round frame is the same shape as those brooch pieces I used to make but it was fun to give it this brand new twist with the vintage frame and painted background too. I stitched the center in my favorite French Knots in one of my favorite colorways to work
