Some sample frames

We've had a big clean up in the cutting room today and started on a large collection of samples for various customers. A tiring, but productive day :-)

New oak frames

Here are some of the new oak samples we've added to our range this week along with a couple of rough finish samples that we've got in for a customer.

Mirror mirror on the wall...

Here's the first of the gesso frames we're producing now. This one has been gilded in white gold, painted in off-white, limed and aged, then fitted with a beveled mirror. It's 19x23 inches and is on display in the shop now :-)

Oh I do like to be by the seaside...

Another deep frame today. A lovely little seascape. I've put it in a limed oak frame, which automatically gives you a seaside/driftwood feel. Then it's floated 10mm over white mount board, the difference with this one is I've added a blue mount board spacer to the side. It really sets the painting off nicely and I'll recommend this technique to customers again :-)
