This is another picture I made using fabric and embroidery. I found this old frame for the picture. There is damage to the frame on the bottom left corner....I'm trying to decide what to put there to cover the damage. Any ideas would be appreciated!

How about another star to match the ones in the picture, out of the same fabric. Make your pattern, make a cardboard backing and glue it together and glue it on the frame.

I like this idea. Would do this if it were mine. Would tie it all together.

leave the boo boo alone and let it make a statement to the picture all on its own. Rustic country.

I agree with Stewyscrewy. Something a little different causes us to remember more details. Your picture is well worth remembering everyday
