I'm seriously considering whether to 'age' the frame and infer that it's recently been discovered somewhere dark and mysterious. It won't make the routine any better but I do enjoy darkening things down a bit! Love the Russian newspaper wrapping as well... I might just change the string for something a bit less neat and polite, baling twine or something similar, I just have a strong mental image of the Russian peasants in revolt, scythes, hoes, forks and other sharpened agricultural implements being brandished in anger by the light of burning torches outside as the Romanovs were being executed... obviously I must stop eating cheese so late at night…
