Όπως κάποιοι από εσάς ίσως γνωρίζετε, εγώ μαζί με μια από τις κόρες μου είμαστε φαν των Beatles εδώ και χρόνια. Τους αγαπάμε τόσο πολύ που εχουμε διακοσμήσει το δωμάτιό της με πολλές αφίσες και Beatle πράγματα όπως αυτή η μπλε κορνιζα. Αλλά μετά από καιρό παραμελήθηκε. Είχε φτάσει η ώρα για ανανέωση και γρήγορα. Που να ξέρα ότι θα χρειαζόμουν τα άστρα και το φεγγάρι για να το συνεφέρω!
Η κόρη μου είδε αυτό τη παλιά κορνιζα και αμέσως την άρπαξε … “Μαμά, ξεπερασμένοι οι Beatles!” Τους έβγαλε από εκεί και ζωγράφισε άλλαξε το μπλε σε λευκό χρώμα, χρησιμοποιώντας μπογιά κιμωλίας.
Στη συνέχεια πρόσθεσε χρωματιστά γυαλιά σε σχήματα για να δώσει λίγη λαμψη.
Ίσως ξέρετε ότι η κόρη μου είναι ζωγράφος και φέτος ήταν «η χρονιά του γαλαξία». Έκανε ένα μεγάλο πίνακα που μπορείτε να δείτε εδώ και ένα βίντεο εδώ..
Στερέωσε
το καμβά στην κορνίζα από την πίσω πλευρα … και το αποτέλεσμα! Τα άστρα και το φεγγάρι σε όλο τους το μεγαλείο!
Το αποτέλεσμα ηταν τόσο κάλο, και το έδωσε ως δώρο! Ποιος δεν θα ήθελε τα άστρα και το φεγγάρι ως δώρο;Τι κάνετε με τις παλιές σας κορνίζες;

I love this. I frame a lot of needlework and just flip thrm for another scene. 2 for 1! Thank you so much for linking at #overthemoon! I look forward to seeing what you share very week. Please come back for #WonderfulWednesday. Don’t forget to comment your link #’s so I can be sure to visit. Pinned and shared.
That’s a great idea Marilyn. Maybe I should have kept the Beatles after all and put them on the other side.
I absolutely love this! It turned out so cool! 🙂
Thank you Erin. Homemade gifts are the best!
Isn’t it rewarding to watch our kids blossom creatively? Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm!
There is no greater feeling than to see them improving their skills and creating with enthusiasm. Thank you Cecilia for understanding.
What a great idea to repurpose but also so sweet to give as a gift.
You’ve raised your daughter well. 😉
Happy Thoughts of Home on Thursday!
I’m a big believer of giving homemade gifts that are personal and thoughtful. Thank you Stacey.
Hi Mary — What a creative makeover! Your daughter has great talent. Love the galaxy painting with the texture and pop of bright colors. Very talented family! Thanks for linking up with us at Funtastic Friday, hope to see you back next week too.
Thank you so much Mistie! My little one is quie the artist!
I loooove The Beatles, too, and am a great fan of John Lennon’s later work, as well. Both of pictures frames are lovely, no doubt 🙂
many regards from sunny Adriatic, Croatia
Yes, we managed to cover all of the Beatles work, early and late and had lots of bonding moments with my girls over them. They have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for stopping in.
You’re obviously rubbing off on your daughter Mary! I love to reuse old frames. I made one into a blackboard for my desk. It’s really good for my to do list.

Sally it may actually be the other way ar o und. We knew she was artistic from a very young age, and I just encouraged her. Your idea is excellent for a blackboard.
Wow I am so happy to see another craft by your girl! She so talented and creative!
Thanks Katerina. Do you think I should share my blog with her? She has her own website but never posts anything on it. lol It all ends up on mine. In all fairness, she posts on Youtube. Actually that’s where she lives…
Love the pic. Your daughter captured the Moon and the surrounding stars beautifully:):)
An artist in the making Ilka. But being the hipster that she is she will never admit it. 😉
Mary, Your daughter has some wonderful talent there! Love the stars and moon and the bling frame! Thanks for sharing with us at Brag About It! Pinned and tweeted 🙂

Thank you Laurie, this one was her idea, I just gave her the frame. At least she’s learning all about re-purposing.
This is so pretty, I love the texture of the moon!

Thanks Jess. My girl is pretty good at this stuff. It does make a good gift, don’t you think?
Awesome idea as always, Mary. Thanks for sharing at Five Star Frou-Frou this week. Hope to see you again on Friday! Love, Mimi xxx
Thank you so much Mimi, see you tomorrow!
Talent runs in your family, Mary. This is so pretty. I am always amazed at the difference a little paint can make.

This is so true Amalia. I love using paint to transform just about anything.
This is beautiful, Mary! Your daughter does such great work, and she’s so creative! Wonder where she gets that from? 😉
Hummm Celeste, I have no idea??
Looks great, Mary!
many greetings
Uwe
Thank you Uwe, and the Beatles will have to hide for now.
It turned out really nice. Like mother, like daughter. So what did you do with the Beatles?
Krista, she doesn’t need so much stuff in her room She already has more than a few giant posters and now she is into another group… oh no more posters on the way! I’ll hide the Bealtes!
I love the Beatles as well Mary! Your daughter is a true artist, she turned that blue frame into something really special. All the colours and tones really go so well together and to give this as a present is a wonderful idea!
And this time Katrin mom did not have to see red or black or any other color. She did it by herself and on time. I just gave her the frame. Oh how they learn!
Mary, it would appear that the crafting gene runs strong in your family! I love that you two ‘craft together’. Her galaxy series is so cool…I hope she stays with painting, she clearly has some natural talent and inclination.
And I love the Beatles too…’Hey Jude’ is my all time favorite song…ever, from anyone. Just another one of our common qualities.
Wishing you a lovely Thursday.
Hugs , Lynn
I believe she has surpassed me by leaps and bounds Lynn! I was the one who originally got her to listen to the Beatles and when she developed a healthy obsession I went back and started listening to them again. Oh what a pleasure it is to hear childhood songs from an adult perspective.
Mary, your daughter is quite the artist!! That Beatles poster is neat, but I love how she replaced it with something personal and oh so beautiful!! The bling on the frame was a nice accent to her amazing picture!! I can see artistic talent runs in the family!! 🙂
Keri I also liked the addition of the bling. It makes it girly and just perfect for the gift that she gave to her female friend.
This is such a beautiful painting and picture. Your daughter is truly talented! Thanks for sharing at Pieced Pastimes 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment. I will let me daughter know that everyone loves her painting.
Hello, I am visiting from Marci’s blog Stone Cottage. I have been a Beatles fan for a long time now. I do love your stars and moon, lovely piece of artwork. Have a happy weekend!
Thank you so much for your sweet words Eileen. I’ll be sure to pass them on to my daughter. Have a great day
After seeing so many projects your daughter has made, there’s no doubt she is truly an artist! Love that picture, it really seems as if you were looking at the sky through a telescope.
That she is Pili, and I try to encourage her as much as possible. Her passion though is video making.
You have a very talented daughter. The frame was met for the painting. But will you be bringing the Beatles back?
Everyone seems to be worried about the Beatles. Haha! Her room is plastered with posters of the beatles and she’s also made collages so I think we can afford to lose one pictuure.
Those poor Beatles. They totally got trumped. I like the texture your daughter added to her painting. What a thoughtful gift.
Kathryn I always encourage them to give home made gifts, even if it means trumping the Beatles.She also has a ton of Beatle T- shirts that she is always wearing, so they ought to be happy with that.
Mary your stars and moon turned out lovely! As much as I love the Beatles, I love the frame this way so much better. I really like how you added the bling to the frame. Nice makeover!
Linda I love the Beatles too but Paul will eventually have to retire. She did a good job with it and especially with the addition of the bling.
Mary ~~ I too, am a Beatles fan, (I saw them 2 times in 1964 & 1965) in California! I loved how the blue frame looked with their print in it too ~~ But your daughter’s unique creativity to re-purpose & spark the frame up was very cute! Very simple but cool! ~~ her choice of colors for the nite sky was fun too! I love it!
We are all Beatles fan, you are luckier than most to have seen them! My girl may act like she’s over them but she still loves Paul! Thank you for your sweet comment Becky.
