I was quite pleased how this frame turned out.
It's a Simons plain pine moulding that comes ready brushed with ready made dings and fake woodworm tracks.
I added an extra bit of distressing by scalloping the edges slightly with a sanding drum on a Dremel, which takes away the neat, straight edges.
A wash of Raw Umber applied followed by a waxing. Then I added some splashes of a bilious green mix and finished off with another good waxing with dark wax and wire wool and a good buffing.

Re: Frog
Pretty cool! Nice idea with the extra distressing etc
Re: Frog
Yep. That's a frog and a half and no mistake.
It's an original painting. Possibly acrylic. It's done on a thin piece of fabric laced over foamcore. Apparently of great sentimental value.
The greeny bits on the frame are acrylic paint. Although practically any green paint would be just as good.
