Ben Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hello, i thought I’d post my handmade frame in which I tried to simulate “carved” look. It’s franing a nautical painting I’d made some months ago. I afterward put a light grayish wash on and a little gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeekendMiniaturist Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I really like the colors and the effects of the frame... Is it wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes. It’s a wood frame with wood filler and then painted. I started with wood anyway. The filler has saw dust in it does that count? Lol. Anyway I was trying to simulate a carved look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 You should try the real carved exercise to see if you like it. Carving looks to be a lot of fun and the wonderful thing about miniatures, in theory is that you don't need a lot of space! There has to be some You Tube info on carving, and books and magazines! Someday when I get finished with my petitpoint rug(s) I'll try carving. I think I can schedule for the year of my 101st birthday... when I get all my petitpoint stuff stitched. I think Karin C and others have a carving tools post... I an drawn to the flex tools, but I think miniaturists can carve with the various xacto knife options, so you can buy one of those sets of xacto at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Joann Fabric & Crafts here in the US for 40 -60% off (subject to coupon limitations.) Joann has occasional 60% off coupons, but the store may not have the set you want; it is dependent upon Store Size... I don't have a Super Store, so our inventory is different then the largest stores... guess I'm fessing up that I've been at Joann Fabric in different states. However, each time I try to be cheap, in the long run, I know I'll be moving up in better quality tools, so to balance my spending, I do occasionally hunt for treasured tools on Craigs List when time permits.
