Edwardian Frame (PNG)

(Click image for larger size)

Frame originally surrounding an ad in a 1910 issue of Swedish magazine Svensk Damtidning. I like the way the left bottom is sort of striving down, so I chose not to correct it digitally. I think it makes the frame charmingly irregular in a discreet way. :)

I apologize for being so absent from here, although I'm afraid there will be very little improvement during the summer. My days are so full of other things, indoors as well as outdoors; that leaves me with very little time to spend with graphics on the computer. I'm also trying to simplify my life, as I'm constantly just adding things that I need and/or want to do, even though I know beforehand that I can't handle it all. I can't believe I keep doing this over and over again!

Anyway, this fault in my personality give me no choice but to once in a while just stomp my foot into the ground and say Stop! to myself and then - after simplifying - I'm perfectly fine for a while. Until I've gotten myself into the same mess as before, that is... ;)

Conclusion: I'll try to make this a summer with as few must-dos as possible. I will really try to actually relax and - most importantly, I believe - spend as much time offline as possible. I'm sorry that it will affect my posting here, but I'd rather take it slow for a while than loose the inspiration altogether and stop blogging. So once again :( I have to ask you to bear with me. I will check on my e-mail regularly, so feel free to contact me at any time. :)
