Unique Photo Frame

I recently had the idea to make a photo frame for a fellow dog-lover.  She's fun, artsy, and quite ecclectic, so I wanted to make the frame unusual, and interesting in and of itself.  I decided on one of my favorite medias - collage.  I went through my collection of books that I regularly purchase at used book stores for projects, and chose a great bunch of dog illustrations -one, you will see, was painted by one of the Masters! -  along with some quotes.  Also, the frame I chose was a unique shape, giving it more character.  In working with odd shapes while collaging, I use my VERY sharp scissors to finish off those ends.  For the areas that I didn't collage, I used Distress Ink in a couple of shades of brown.  The end result - a fun frame that my friend loved.  And, a project that I enjoyed doing.
