my first ever before and after...

I found these 70's esque pictures in
Marshville, NC at a secondhand shop
and thought perhaps they had
some potential with their curly frames.
So I bought them, took them home, spray painted them
with a white gloss plastic paint.
Then printed out letters from Word in a font I chose
and pasted the letters on
with an acrylic polymer emulsion
from an art supply store in Charlotte, NC, coated them with a spray of gloss protective varethane
and...
Ta Da...


(Not too shabby for my first try at before and after work.)
I think I now have a hankering for more junk to play with.
