Framing ALL the things

Whew! I finally have all of my flat-things-that-should-be-on-walls from JoCo Cruise Crazy 3 framed.  Okay, so it's only two things, but you'd be surprised how onerous framing is. 

Part of the problem is that the items I have are rather weird shapes, so regular frames weren't really going to work. 

The first one was so large and wide that I knew it would be a custom-framing job.  I waited until I saw a sale on the same and finally had it done.  Behold! My signed-by-most-of-the-performers-plus-Anne-Wheaton Crazy Water House poster!


The second was much easier to accomplish. The group photo on the pool deck, while some weirdo dimensions like 8x11.75, was poorly cropped enough that I wouldn't be missing anything important by putting it behind an 8x10 mat.  I saw this shadow box and was excited that I would be able to include my JCCC3 challenge coin and dice with the photo! I could have included my totem animal as well (one of a variety of different animals was included in each attendee tote bag) if I had been anything less substantial than a moose with a giant moose rack.  But I'm still happy with the way this turned out.  :^)
