Here is a little sneaky peak of the 'Faces Of Witney' artwork we framed up recently. It's an amazing photographic project by David Willoughby and the SOTA Gallery in Witney, which captured hundreds of images of local people, some wonderful characterful faces, beautifully photographed...were you one of them?
The artwork is currently on display at the SOTA Gallery, their details can be found...HERE.

This is a lovely photo collage that we've framed using a metallic frame, a white mount and a lemon/green spacer. The spacer sets the mount and artwork back from the glass, this in itself gives a stylish look to framing, but in this instance we've gone a step further and painted it a vivid green colour to echo one of the colours in the artwork. The effect of this is to add a dramatic glow to the piece and really pair the frame with the artwork. :-)
Here's a very interesting piece we had in for framing last week. A photo by artist John Stezaker. The image is heading off for an exhibition and the framing needed to match the existing pieces that had already been framed, lucky we managed to find the same frame, so it was just a case of making an inner spacer to keep the glass away from the photo as there's no mount. This is a lovely way to frame photos, especially something as conceptual as this.
