Confession: See that arrow at the top of this drawing? Ya, that basic little black arrow pointing at that beautiful frame? It probably took me about 45 min. Yep, 45 frickin' minutes. I may be Photoshopped challenged for now, but in no time at all I bet I'll be able to add other basic images (maybe I'll get crazy and add a star one of these days) in under an episode of Modern Family. A girl needs goals, right? However, please note that stellar shading job I did (or hopefully I did such an outstanding job I'll be freelancing as an airbrush artist for the stars??)...I ended up having to "clone" and re-shade all around that cursed little arrow in a trial and error method for all of 45 min.
Enough of my Photoshop rant, and back to this awesome Old is New with a painted vintage frame and some sturdy twigs. I think a wide range of variations could easily be adopted, including wooden dowels, decorative nails, etc, but this image is great inspiration for creating a gorgeous way to display your jewels.
