This is my facebook caption:
"This was Pam's family's old homeplace and as you can see from the photos, is full of character and timeless beauty.
The wood was salvaged from one of the buildings in the photo and brought to me already milled. After cutting it to size, curtains from the windows were used to do the fabric inlay. There are two layers of acid free mats, designed lattice style to accent the photographs. The fabric was cut to size and held down with Frank's Fabric glue and assembled using acid-free foamcore and topped off with Tru-Vue conservation glass, to help protect it from fading.
It was such a pleasure to do this piece!"
The only thing that I wasn't so crazy over...was that due to the limited amount of fabric I had to work with (it was literally in tatters and lots of it discolored), I couldn't do all horizontal runs
