You would clearly make an amazing job of it! Thank you for helping me instead, I think I'm probably going to go with the black and white photos, I love your idea of the old to new photos but I'm struggling to get them to look good together, I think my 'new' photos are just too glossy, if I had classier, matte prints I think it could work really well. And you're right with the background too, I tried a few possibles and have liked a sort of charcoal colour best. Will hopefully get it all finished and report back soon. Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.Wonky Patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877163026017340681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-5159216692720469922014-02-11T07:01:52.601-08:002014-02-11T07:01:52.601-08:00I hadn't thought about just tape, that sounds ...I hadn't thought about just tape, that sounds like one to fall back on when Plan A fails miserably! Thank you! I like the sound of your pottery frames too, have you still got them, or a picture of them?Wonky Patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877163026017340681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-3567337904283843492014-02-10T23:12:49.339-08:002014-02-10T23:12:49.339-08:00I have no useful input but ink it's a great id...I have no useful input but ink it's a great idea that's going to look epically wonderful when done! If it were me if do fabric covered cork board in each section so you can pin pics on that you like. Or that ribbon stretched across board on a couple so you can slide pics in and out. Or a selection. That way you could glue the back but still change the images.<br /><br />Can't wait to see it finished.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726626514824694078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-36296648194593948292014-02-10T04:31:14.188-08:002014-02-10T04:31:14.188-08:00I think this is a wonderful idea and lovely way to...I think this is a wonderful idea and lovely way to show off your photos. I considered doing this last summer but decided I wasn't feeling that ambitious about it at the time when someone I knew was giving away a pretty and old window frame.<br /><br />Maybe a hardware store or picture frame store would have the little pieces that attach to the back? I like your idea of paper or fabric for the background. I think both would work but paper may be easier to work with? If you go with all older black and white photos maybe a black, white or beige background would work well with the photos? You could make little test pieces with different color paper maybe?<br /><br />Which pictures to frame? I think the older black & whites or color photos would work well. You could select your absolute favorites and go from there. Maybe starting at the top left with older photos working down to newer photos? (i.e., grandparents at the top working down to little one's?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-1867799387079233352014-02-09T08:51:37.401-08:002014-02-09T08:51:37.401-08:00god luck! it will look great!

I have successfully just taped photos onto the back of open (no glass) frames that I made out of pottery before....you need skukum masking tape though so it stays stuck and it may damage the photo so make sure you are using duplicates! can't wait to see it!!!christyhttp://www.christywilson.canoreply@blogger.com
