Two gorgeous prints by artist Jacqueline Hopkins in for framing this morning. We've given them wide black wood frames, beautiful light in both of these pieces.

"Which came first?" A Giclee print from an original pastel by Nic Vickery, we've gone for a simple wide oak frame and it looks lovely :-)

A beautiful canvas print by David Shepherd titled 'Savuti Elephants'.
We've used a gold frame with a cloth slip and second small slip within that to match the gold on the frame. A beautiful piece that makes a great addition to any art collection. You can find more of David's work at http://www.davidshepherd.com
A lovely print by Anna Wright in for framing today. We've given it an elegant moulding which we've then painted and waxed to match one of the colours used in the artwork, a simple finish that shows off the print beautifully.

Here's a wonderful print we had in for framing a couple of weeks ago. We floated it over a grey mount with matching side walls to keep it away from the glass and then framed it in a simple black moulding. There are lovely details all over the print, little creatures everywhere, really gorgeous :-)
This is a replica of a prop used in the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected journey. We've floated it in a simple black frame which presents it nicely, allowing the viewer to see all the ageing thats been worked into the map...However this map...and the frame...have a magic secret up their Hobbity sleeves...
You'll have to wait for the next post to see what that secret is.... :-)
Here are a couple of the smaller oak frames we were building yesterday. One has had a dark stain, one is natural, both waxed and now surrounding some lovely prints. The upper one is by Gemma Pearce, the lower one by Anna Dillon.
Here's the green frame from yesterday all waxed and finished. It's surrounding a print of one of my paintings which the customer bought in a gallery and then came here to have framed :-)
A couple of metal fronted frames in today, one silver, one bronze. You can't really see that well in this photo, but the sides and inner lip on these frames are black, which stops the metal being too 'bling' :-)
Framing up a really great print by Sam Toft today, love her work so it's great to have something in to take a closer look at. We've gone for a simple grey frame to echo some of the sky colour and really allow the other colours to glow :-)
