Captain's Frames 2.3

Earth Date 5.9.2016

Nothing that out of the ordinary with this one, just honing my skill and efficiency.

We were given photos of paintings, I just had to give them a proper home. I'm very pleased with the way the work fits so well in its surroundings.

Believe it if you will. I've never before cut two hole in a passepartout. I know! The heinous error had to be rectified.

Everything ended up complementing each other with this one, the passepartout, the who-knows-how-longs-it's-been-here frame I chose. It gives the photos a certain, warm elegance. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Captain's Frames 2.2

Earth Date 5.9.2016

Now we begin the new, illustrious year. It was kickstarted with business as usual.


It looks good here but the struggle was real, it was painted a horrid, faded pink before a give it a proper paint job. It needed to look regal.

You can never go wrong by applying gold and a nice shine to the frame. Whoever says otherwise is dead inside and an enemy of the Galactic Empire. You are being watched.

A frame needs a picture, none was provided so one must be made. Looks good enough.

The passepartout was looking forlorn, sad and cold so I added a bit to it. The text came out well but the other bits I'm not that happy with. Oh well, I can always just swap the contents. It is a good looking frame though.

Captain's Frames 2.1

Earth Date 5.9.2016

The ever efficient educational body on this planet has once again begun anew. Not much was accomplished by the ever vigilant, ever faithful Captain of the Galactic Imperial Fleet. The entertainment value of the so called "videogames" utterly devastated much of my recreational time. As well as a large portion of my sleep cycle.

Let us begin by the swan song of my last work last year.

Only the most massive, extravagant frame was adequate to the marvelous splendour that is this mask. The fear that the frame chosen was too heavy was quickly brushed aside as a feverish fury took over. I had to give the exquisite mask a proper abode.

The plaster made of glue and chalk powder was applied to the corners, the way the cut edges clashed with each other was appalling. The red cloth was partly attached to the plywood cradle and filled with cotton to give the mask a proper resting place. When the plaster had been carved to my very specific desires, I painted the cold white over with a warmer color as it will give the gold more warmth later on.

The outer sides of the plywood box were a barren wasteland until they were blessed with the gentle touch of delicate, sensual brush. It needed more however. It always needed more. Cloth strips bathed in glue, arranged and left to dry appeared promising but only time would tell. They were dried with the same color as the plaster.

The gold looked marvelous. Absolutely brilliant. Quite.

Oh yeah, baby.

Layers of lacquer were applied to give the gold more resilience and a proper properties.

Marvelous. Now, I had completely forgotten to add the finished picture of a previous work. I'm terribly sorry. Honest.
