artwork and an armoire

A while back I had some of my Australian artwork framed and I promised to share it here. This first one I bought at a student art show at an Aboriginal event Kimba's company was participating in. The artist used one of the ceramic tiles that ran around the base of her grandmother's home as a template for the piece (hench the piece's name), and I liked the simple subject, the color, and texture. I had the framer float it on top of a brown suede matte and finish it with a rustic dark oak frame, and I love how it turned out.

Nanna's

These are four cards that I originally thought to pass out to family members on my return, but were lost for a while, then when I found them, changed my mind when I thought of the framing idea. I believe I picked them up while in Tasmania. I remember the store quite clearly, but not "where" for sure...

Roos, owl, and a bilby

A piece of furniture that Terry and I bought together, because we needed more hang up storage for clothing since her 60 year old house only has small closets in each room. We spent a evening trying to figure out how old it is, and thanks to a stamp on the back of the mirror, we think it's around 100-110 years old.



I also have a Aboriginal painting on canvas that I had stretched but haven't found the right place to hang yet. Once I do I'll show it off, along with some more art from Oz and my trip last summer around the US.

So what special artwork or furniture do you have? Any photos to share?
