I had made a collage out of an old Transformers comic book earlier this year and then put it in a frame that I had bought at an auction several years ago. After getting a blue ribbon at the fair, I intended to see if I could sell it at the barn sale over Labor Day weekend.
As I carried it from our truck that first morning of the sale, one side of the frame crumbled in my hand, the collage fell to the ground, and the plexiglass in the frame shattered on the concrete. I thought it might prove to be a bad omen for the sale.
It wasn’t. I did well there.
Skip ahead a few weeks, and we found a frame with the right dimensions at the local thrift store for five bucks.
Tonight, I finally had time to remove the existing picture and put the collage in.
The back had paper sealing it shut, and Jodi hoped maybe we’d find treasure. Some hidden cash or something of the like.
No such luck. Just an excess of staples keeping the previous picture in place.
After a few minutes, I had the old picture removed and the collage in place. It looks pretty good.
Hopefully, it holds together for a long time.
But, who knows, gravity always wins.
