sockmonkey Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thought I'd share my latest project. The photo isn't the greatest (it looks kind of distorted and has a big glare on it), but it shows one of my best sellers. I buy the prints, hubby cuts the wood and assembles the frame (he doesn't trust me with his power tools), and then I paint and rough up the frame.I'm not big into the prim stuff, but it sells like crazy.

Di_in_AZ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That's a real nice job on the frame--I am not into prim but I really like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thank you. I prefer more Victorian style things but they just don't sell well for me so I go with the prim. It doesn't matter if it's furniture or pictures, the prim stuff sells. I wish I had some pictures of some of the prim stuff I've sold. Basically, all you need to do is paint anything black and scuff it up and people will buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I like it. It looks just like the wallpaper I bought at a yard sale this past weekend for $1.00. I was wondering what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindym Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Really nice. Hmmmm lots of great ideas in this section. I'm getting the itch to try some of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 HeavenScent, wallpaper borders are good for using on shelves. I paint shelves and then paste a strip of border acoss the back piece of the shelf. I'd like to find some of that border to use on shelves and see if it sells as well as the pictues! (I just sold my last picture yesterday.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marika Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was at a craft show last year where the guy built primitive shelves and used the borders...he did very well. Your frame looks great...love "all you need to do is paint anything black and scuff it up and people will buy it.":laugh2: Mari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
