I found a basic black 8x10 composite wood frame a while ago. It had spent a little time in a rain shower before I got to it, but there was no print or photo inside (did you know that wet photos stick to glass and are annoying to scrape off? now you do!). It floated around the apartment for a bit displaying a photograph that looked ok, but not great. I admit, not all my ideas work out perfectly at first. But once Creative Roommate got her hands on it she made a watercolor we'll call "Alligator Feeding Time."
This hung on the kitchen wall, above the stove, with all the other animal feeding paintings until one day...
She sold it! To a friend of another roommate who came in, liked it, and offered cash for this and another watercolor. This was unprecedented, but super cool. I'm sorry I wasn't there to witness it, but I'm happy knowing that a freestyle frame was a part of it. When Creative Roommate told me the story her smile was as big as the alligator's in the picture. Buen provecho!
