On Re-Framing It

Once upon a Tuesday night, I took this old framed painting (found at the antiques garage)...
... and turned it into this!
i am quite delighted by it and get really giddy every time i see it.
which, for my little apartment, is quite often. including every time i wake up :)
it's messy and imperfect and that feels absolutely right.
the words are the title (& lyrics) of what has become by theme song for 2012: 'take your time (coming home)' by fun.

take your time coming home/hear the wheels as they roll/let your lungs fill up with smoke/forgive everyone

i especially love the bridge of the song and am working on making a project around it:
now i'm not scared of the songs or the states or the stages/
i'm not scared, i got friends, took my call, came courageous/
now i feel like i am home.

project inspired by something spotted on a beautiful mess

    1. thanks lady!! it was on there awhile ago but it stuck with me (hah obviously, i suppose). it probably took me like a year to get around to it. i've had the painting for, oh i don't know, 6 months? ;) xo
