Tulips in Vase Frame: COmpletion

The Tulips in Vase frame has been completed.  I am quite happy with the completed piece and the end result. The colors turned out very rich and vintage looking.  On this piece I have tramped up to 7-8 layers approx 70 wooden pieces, and embellished the top with a finial crafted from a vintage spindle and spool.  At the crown of the piece are flowing fraktur tulips sprouting from a vase. On the bottom sits a very curious distelfink.  To complete this frame, I added 4 vintage drawer pulls on each corner.

This piece will be listed for sale on Ebay starting tonight. The auction will be for the 8 x 10 frame only - no painting this time.  Please feel free to let me know what you think!
 
Happy Upcycling!  Angie
