Here's one way to use up mismatched hardware. Secretly, I enjoy using power tools- well, not a secret anymore. The sad part is I can't hold them for very long or use a fair amount of pressure. The love is there, but the ability is weakened. I took some of these little shapes and glued them onto a photo frame. It's an upcycle from a giveaway win during last year's OWOH. I just took the flowered paper, ribbons, and shiny bits off and painted the frame in copper metallic and black.
Some of these hardware pieces spin; and I think adding some more hardware will be in order, although it's getting heavy! I should have put two hunks in those empty spaces. With so many hunks, how could I narrow the list down? Whose photos would you select?
We know who Stacy would pick- JD! Anyone else?

Hi Gloria,
The only thing missing is your artwork. You have done so many cool pieces. I'd love to see you update this with them.

I love this Upcycle and making it modern and contemporary! I would have to put my husband in there :)
I am sorry, I love JD ;o) LOL! This frame is so cool and you have gave me a great idea Gloria, thank you! I really think this is wicked!!!! Big Hugs ;o) Just to let you know, I have been having problems commenting, they say error 404, when I go to people's blogs. That's what happened with yours, but now I am finally able to comment ;o)
Thank you so much, Dee. I never think to frame my own work, I should.
Hey, Georgie- your photos crack me up, especially the last few on your blog. I can't comment on your blog, hope you see this. The embedded form doesn't work! Thanks for the invite- hey everyone else get to her blog for the giveaway!
Lucy, I can see your husband in one side and you in the other! TFV!
Stacy, I have no idea what went wrong, I hope it's not going to spread to everyone. They still haven't fixed the embedded form and that's since October.
Thanks so much for liking the frame, and I was just kidding about JD, :)
Thanks everyone!
Hi Gloria, Wow, I once took a class using hardwear. It was fun and I even bought a book. I didn't do much with it but you have just reminded me to get it out again. thank you for the reminder.
I sent you an e mail, I hope you get it. I love my new heart pin.

Hi Linda, that class must have been fun- I'd like to learn to weld. Let's see what you make! I'm so glad you like the pin I sent to you! I emailed you.
Love it a lot, Gloria! FUNKY! Thanks for sharing. linda
