My Frames Have the Blues.

Ok. I did it. I desecrated the holy grail of vintage safety eyeglass frames, the mid 60's AO translucent grey one. It's one of my favorite vintage frames, in fact it's the first one I purchased. But, I got bored with it. Not the frame, the color. As I continue to get grayer, the color of this frame sucked the life out of my face. Time for a re-style. I've been experimenting with different methods of tinting plastic frames for almost a year now, and I think I've cracked the code. Here it is in a deep navy blue, but still translucent. The color was chosen for it's ability to cover the faded grey of the old and I love blue. My next project is going to be a clear Tart Arnel repro I've ordered and I'm going to try to to get a rich honey color of a Oliver Peoples Riley frame that I used to have.
If anyone has a frame they'd like to experiment with, comment on this post and I'll respond.

They say everything old becomes new again, it's true!
