The idea for this design came from some art I saw at a local antiques fair. I love visiting antiques fairs, although most of the items are out of my price range you sometimes discover hidden bargains or, more often, find some inspiration for things to create at home for a fraction of the price. At this particular antiques fair I was struck by a stall selling wall art and particularly several pieces that were a framed film poster and a framed dressmaking pattern.
Several days later I was browsing Waterstones on my lunch break (another favourite pastime) and found this selection of postcards that showed iconic Vogue covers spanning a century and decided they would be perfect to create my own wall art. I purchased a cheap large picture frame and set about choosing my favourite covers to put in it.
Et voilà a really simple but effective way of creating an individual frame to decorate your wall. The beauty of it is you can easily change the postcards around if you fancy a change and can use any poster or postcards to fill it. When I have some free wall space my next frame will be full of penguin book covers!
