Bridal Show ornate frame re-do

Bridal Show ornate frame re-do

Getting ready for a Bridal Show in Rockwall and

I was looking for a big frame for a portrait...looking

around my house I find this outdated gold frame....

I had picked up some Martha Stewart Living 

#353 461 Mercury metallic glaze at Home Depot. 

First I wipe down the frame getting the dust out of all the little crevasses. I pulled out the fabric covered mat and set aside. When I started I was not sure what I was doing so I just played with the glaze, brush and a clean rag. As I was working the glaze into the crevasses I found that when I ran a rag across wiping the glaze off and letting the gold shine through it was looking better. So I continued until I was happy with the contrast.I put the mat back in using the nails I carefully removed. (I like to reuse everything I can!)

 

I had so many complements on the frame and I love it! 
(The Bride looks great too!)
