Deep Peace is finally framed!
And it only took me twelve years to do it!
I couldn't believe it when I looked at the date on this one. It was 2012!
This was definitely the hardest thing I have ever framed. The weird size made it impossible to find a frame! I wanted it to be gold, to pick up the gold in the pattern. I know I could have brought it to a professional framer, but it wasn't in the budget, and frankly, I just didn't like any of the modern frames.
I finally found what I thought was the perfect frame at an estate sale. When I got it home however, it turned out to be way too big. I decided to use it anyway, and get a mat. That in itself was hard to figure out because the mat had to be uneven in the top from the sides. Finally, I decided on the color and style, and prayed I got the measurements right!
Yes! Hurray! The size worked out perfectly! By the way, a big shout out to Matboards & More for their great communication.
The frame was not perfect, and most certainly, the framer was not perfect, but at long last, here is Deep Peace:

I am so glad to have this finally framed!
Now, for some much less dramatic news, I also got the Gaelic Alphabet Sampler framed. This was a much easier task in comparison. I was a little disappointed with the frame. It turned out, it was made of paper, rather than the wood, as advertised on Amazon, but it worked out ok.
