The stars and moon in a frame

As some of you may know, I along with one of my daughters have been…

As some of you may know, I along with one of my daughters have been a Beatles’ fan for years now.  We love them so much we even decorated her room with lots of posters and Beatle art, such as this blue frame. After a while it got neglected and  hidden away somewhere.  But the other day I spotted it and took it out.  It was in need of a makeover and fast. Little did I know that it would take the stars and the moon to bring this mess around.

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!

My daughter saw this old frame and hijacked it  immediately… “Mom I am sooo over the Beatles!”  She pulled them out of there and painted that blue into white using chalk paint.

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.

She then added a bunch of colored glass in pretty shapes to give it a bit of blingy shine!

Στη συνέχεια πρόσθεσε χρωματιστά γυαλιά σε σχήματα για να δώσει λίγη λαμψη.

Now you may know that my daughter is also a painter and this year has been “the year of the galaxy”.  She did a larger painting that you can see here and a video here.

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..

She inserted this canvas into the picture frame and secured it from the back… and there you have it!  The stars and moon in all its’ glory!

Στερέωσε

 το καμβά στην κορνίζα από την πίσω πλευρα … και το αποτέλεσμα!  Τα άστρα και το φεγγάρι σε όλο τους το μεγαλείο!

It turned out so well that she gave it to a friend as a gift!  Who wouldn’t want the stars and the moon in a frame as a gift? What do you do with your old picture frames?  

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;

    1. Thank you Laurie, this one was her idea, I just gave her the frame. At least she’s learning all about re-purposing.

    1. An artist in the making Ilka. But being the hipster that she is she will never admit it. 😉

    1. 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…

  6. 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.

    1. 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.
