the CSI project: dollar store challenge, entry #1

Here's my first entry for the dollar store challenge: Hard & Soft "Floral" Frame. Nobody besides Judge Jen (thanks, Jen!) managed to visit this project when I submitted it for the hardware store challenge, so I'm resubmitting it here — the actual frame was from Dollar Tree!

The overall effect is supposed to give the general impression of flower shapes (it's not a literal floral print, obviously), as well as play on the contrast of textures. The more realistic flowers are crafted from masking tape and receipt paper, whereas the abstract flowers are various wooden and metal bobbles from the hardware store (well, technically, the hardware section of the ReStore). You could probably get most of these supplies at a dollar store as well, though!

Keep your eyes peeled for entry #2, coming soon! (DS2 woke up from his nap before I finished today. :)
