Art is in the eye of the beholder…and this frame will enable you to behold different items of value as often as you wish.
It comes flat, you put in the screws, fold down the ‘shelf’ part of it and voila, you now have an object frame to show off whatever you deem appropriate to show off.
Landscape or Portrait.
40 x 28 cm wide or high (depending on the model)
$65.00, Buy it here.

Kit allows for gardens of variable sizes and lengths.

Grease pencil, Instruction Guide
Update: Scout Regalia has lowered the price. 03/23/09.

Though my personal favorite remains the Studioilse lamp, the whole Wastberg Collection is incredibly impressive. (Also, with only a few days left of DWR’s sale (15% off is valid through March 18, 2009), it’s decision time if you’re considering any purchases.)
