Since you've asked

I've had a few comments (can't believe I actually get comments :) about the flag that hangs above my fireplace in my den in progress.  Several people have asked where I got it or how I made it.  I got it at an antique mall several years ago; just saw it sitting alone in a vendor's booth.  So, I didn't make it but I know many of you skilled, crafty people certainly could.  So, here it is with some close up shots which are supposed to show you how one did this but really just show you how bad my photography skills still are.  Will they ever get better?  I'm beginning to think I have a little learning disability in photography.    

Here's the picture where some of you noticed the flag. 

Close up: Someone took an old window frame with glass and carefully folded the flag to fit just right in the frame.  It looks to me like it's a pretty old flag (some mild staining, wear).  I'm sure you could take a new one and mildly distress it without breaking any patriotic flag rules.  Yes folks, there is a detailed flag code.

 

Original latches and hardware are still attached.

Some closeups so you can see how it's folded.

Closeup shows the layers of paint or it at least it would if I could focus a camera.  Trust me, several layers of paint are on it. 

And an added bonus: here's mini me.  This little flag hangs in the same room.  It's tiny, about 2"x4" in a 3x5 frame.

 

I just love that little thang.

Although I'm not Canadian, my father's father was as was all of his family. My father was the first generation born in the US.   I would like to add a Canadian flag, small or large, framed similarly, to my little collection. If anyone comes across a worn out Canadian flag they want to throw out, let me know!

And there you have it.  Question answered.
