Frame Restoration.

I bought some cheap old damaged frames to restore to use for some of my paintings.
I made some silicone putty out of DIY Silicone and corn-starch.
Before making the mould I coated the areas I wanted to make a mould of with a light brushing of olive oil so that the putty would not stick to the areas.
Once the moulds had dried I removed them then cast the parts with car body filler.
Once the fillers I had dried I sanded and attached the pieces to the frame then re-painted the frames.
I am very happy with how they turned out.
