Rooster painting & {painting a cheap picture frame}
You may recall back some time ago my blogging friend Laurie painted me two lovely rooster's. Laurie is a very talented lady who continues to lose her eye sight due to an injury years ago.
I am very thankful to have received these works of art from her and will always cherish them.
This was the first one I framed. I bought a cheapo frame from Walmart for 3.00 and gave it a few coats of ASCP and then heavily distressed it.
Yesterday, I ran out and picked up another frame and did the same thing.
Nice I found a few sample left and decided I best use them up.
Made a cute little Fall vignette, and now I can enjoy my second works of art from Laurie.

{I waxed the the inside border as well}
Bag of small pumpkins bought at Walmart for $2.98. I probably will have fun with those around Thanksgiving changing them up.

Great job Debbie and what great gifts from your talented friend. I bought a little bag of pumpkins and had fun using them at our thanksgiving dinner .... You will come up with some great ideas ! Happy Sunday
Nice job on the frames. I have seen the first rooster print in Laurie's Etsy shop. I should probably just go ahead and buy it. I know yours is the original but a print would be fine for me. I follow Laurie too. What a wonderful person. Happy Sunday Debbie!
lovely roosters and very special treasures under the circumstances. I can understand why you cherish them..
good job on those frames too.
I love that new rooster painting. So cute with them looking at each other. So sad about someone so gifted losing her sight.
Very well done, Debbie! You have such a knack for all things decor!
looks great Debbie,, I'm so glad you like them,,love those pumpkins,
Little bags of pumpkins go a very long way when it comes to fall decorating, don't they. I use a few too. Loving the rooster and frame by the way!
Love them and Walmart for reasons like that!
There you go making good use of that chalk paint again! Those paintings are very pretty. I really like how your frames turned out.
Loving those roosters! The frames and the pumpkins tie the vignette together nicely. I'll look forward to seeing how you change things around for Thanksgiving too.
Laurie is extremely talented! You did a great job on framing this one too. I love the way the both frames turned out.
I like some decor for Thanksgiving ~ table centerpiece, place cards, etc. I LOVE Thanksgiving!

Laurie is good! Debbie have you thought about doing a linky on Rooster show off's. If so, let me know! Your frames came out perfect! And yes, Walmart does come through!
How sad to hear how Laurie eye sight is going.. such a shame for a talented artist!
Thanks Debbie for your visit and your kind words.. I'm into the 7th day with this flu and it's not fun at all! I'm going to venture out tomorrow if Mr. N lets me...lol
Thanks again

Hi Debbie,
Love how you did the frame. I love that paint but have only done one project with it so far.
Love roosters Debbie, so I am sooo loving yours! Your frame looks so nice with the painting. All of your photographs looks so pretty, and your last shot is so neat!
Debbie, I love your friends work, amazing! I love Roosters, and you have two wonderful pieces. Your frames look AWESOME. The distressed look on the frame gives it such character. Well done! XO ~Liz
I love what you did with the frames Debbie...going to try that!
And the roosters are really good, what a great friend you have there!
Hugs,
Cindy
Those are amazing and what a special gift to give to you. That is a true treasure.
Fantastic painting, and I love what you did with the picture frames!
Your friend is very talented and so are you. Who would ever guess that those frames came from Walmart?
Those are gorgeous, Debbie...and I remember when she posted them. You know that she is not able to paint at all anymore? Makes me feel like crying- she is such a wonderful , inspiring person...it is just sad! xo Diana
What treasures you have, and I love the frames. Perhaps your friend will find another way to be creative. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, those rooster paintings are wonderful...how nice you were the recipient, Debbie!
Thanks for joining the party, Debbie.
Love this project on a dime! And what a gorgeous way to showcase your friend's art. :)

This was the aboriginal one I framed. I bought a bargain anatomy from Walmart for 3.00 and gave it a few coats of ASCP and again heavily afflicted it.
