If you think this is a picture of a picture I fooled you! I used a photoshop tutorial to create this shot. I wanted to learn how to make a frame and didn't realize it was 30 steps long or I probably wouldn't have tried it. I'm glad I did, though - I learned how to do many things I've never done before. I used this photo of mine and a picture of the wallpaper in our house. We'll be tearing it off and painting soon (because of water damage) so it will be a nice memory.

I admire your patience Hilda in doing the photoshop tutorial on framing. I've just begun to delve into photoshop. What you've done is exceptional and a nice remembrance before you put the wallpaper down. This definitely makes it into my keepers. Always love your work.

The shadows on the wall look as if the afternoon sun was shadow playing with a tree. Exceptional work, Hilda. I'm very impressed with your PS work!

Could have fooled me... I love the combination of the elegant flower picture framed against the floral wallpaper. It makes me think of warm old farmhouses that have enjoyed several generations of one family residing in them...

Thirty steps? You've already put me off! lol But, you did a splendid job of it, Hilda. And your trompe l'oeil would have fooled everyone!

I thought I'd seen those peonies before! However, I think that to make this pic even more realistic, you should have tilted the frame! :)) And how about a desktop-sized closeup of the wallpaper...to use as a wallpaper! It would fit my sense of humor. Oh... the frame is very well done! Looks real. Great shadows and highlights on it.

Well, you can judge how far behind I am in my comments, huh? LOL...you certainly did a tremendous job on this, and what a great way to preserve a memory also.
