This is a frame around a poem. The poem was either super old or pretentious, because it doesn't make a lot of sense if you read it quickly: "Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light,
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night, &c."
Anyway, the frame is available for new generations to use in whatever ways they want!
I found this old ornate frame somewhere in the depths of ancients public domain images a loooong time ago, but I never went about synthesizing it because it's balance and design was a little odd. I was looking at it tonight, and it just started to appeal to me. I wanted to share it's pre-digital joy with the world.
This is a silhouette of the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) made by my friend Jay and I. It is optimized for cutting on a Cricut.
Sometime a while back I told myself to make no more frames. I mean, who really uses clipart frames these days? But I came across a version of this 1845 advertisement and I knew I had to synthesize it. So curvy!
Even though I swore off uploading anymore frames, some of the most viewed files on this account are ironically the cursed frames. So here is another one, a *double frame* .. double the frame, double the pleasure! double frame game! This one was on a clothes ad from a million years ago. The clothes were drab and boring, but the frame, ah the frame, shall live on forever!
This is based on an old public domain frame that was used for displaying lyrics. The frame is really stylish and ornate, useful for a future retro look. I am liking it's detail.

4 decorative pieces made in the same style, which I'm not naming, but derived from a "wrought iron Victorian door hinge" [as the original uploader has described it]; not symmetrical
This is from the cover of an 1890 (of course, public domain) sheet music pamphlet. The music was for some patriotic jingle. I can just imagine this serving many other uses, or maybe wasting away on this corner of the web. Maybe it won't be used for *another* 110 years!
Is there such a thing as overdosing on ornate frames? If so, this is the king of overdosed ornate frames, THREE in one set! Two square and one circle. These frames originally sold box kites in a newspaper about a 100 years ago. But now they are ready for anything. Photo album? Scrap book? Or any other reason like desktop publishing or anything you could use a wild TRIPLE frame! Go get 'em!
Quite powerful flower power frame. I wish I had a shirt with this pattern. A colorful glossy shirt, with sparkles and silver stripes down the arms. Maybe some LED lights sown into the fabric. Awesome. Awesome.
Frame blessed by the angels. Oh blessed angels. This might make a good label, or maybe a newsletter front? The bottom banner is left blank so you can put something in it!
