Window frame

I've been having so much fun playing with the stuff I got at the auction. (If you clicked, I just sent you to my daughter's blog because I was having computer problems then so she posted my purchases) Mostly, I've been doing some small changes in my dining room.
This is the only small window that I got. Two panes of glass are missing (bottom left and right) but I kind of like it that way. These are real ferns that I put in silica for 24 hours to dry and then just used spray adhesive to stick them to the back side of the glass.
I used three different ferns that I have in my garden.
All I did to this window is scrub it down.
Since the wall color is creamy I didn't need any thing behind the ferns. I did use old linen tablecloth pieces for backing on another fern project because the walls were dark.
I'm quite happy with the outcome.

Jean, I love old window frames, and what a great idea to put dried ferns in the one you got. Very creative, and pretty too!

Nice--looks pretty easy--but I am wondering where you got the gel stuff you soaked it in.
