Res Old Picture Frame Images part 1 Here are some cool old fashioned classic wooden frames. I enjoyed making the painting for the post image above and it was quite hard to decide which frame to go with.

Historia(s) de la belleza Los esclavos germanos no tenían derecho a la vida ni a la muerte, pero sí bonitas melenas rubias. La envidia de las mujeres romanas, que mandaban importar cabellos del norte de Europa para confeccionar sus elaboradas pelucas. La élite de la antigüedad imponía su canon de lujo y exotismo mediante prácticas esnobistas que se nutrían de los piojos de los descastados. Las mujeres del Romanticismo del XVIII entraron en una competición suicida por conseguir un aspecto frágil y pálido ingiriendo vinagre y limón.
