Anna Wright

 

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.

 

You can find more of Anna's work at http://www.annawright.co.uk/

Joanne Parsons

 

These are the last of the pieces of artwork being frames for Artweeks (other than the ones I need to do for myself...). Some wonderful pastels by Joanne Parsons. We've coordinated the tray colours with the artwork and used a couple of different frames to finishes them off, really lovely pieces of artwork, Joanne is site 404, get along to see her if you can :-)

Floated print

 

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 :-)

A busy week

 

Lots of bare wood mouldings in this week. Some are new ranges that we've been using to making up samples. Some are for artists getting their work framed for Artweeks, which starts next month here in Oxfordshire. Will post some of the assembled frames over the next week or so, but for now I'm off to walk the dog and have a beer. Have a great weekend everyone :-)

Black and Red frame

 

Here's the frame that was bright red the other day...it was then coated in black and gently rubbed back to let some of the red show through, then a wax and polish and this is the finished look :-)

Colours continued...

 

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 :-)

Metallic Frames

 

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' :-)

Custom, handmade frames

 

Setting up various sample pieces for a custom, handmade frame today. We've got a swept outer frame which has been gessoed, painted and waxed. Then we have a spacer in a highlight colour to draw out some of the colours in the painting. Then we have a back wall and small inner frame to hold the painting, these have been painted and waxed to match the outer frame. We're still discussing a couple of other options, so the final frame may differ a little :-)

These custom frames can be build in many styles and 'any' colour you desire, so they're perfect for that special piece of artwork that you really want to sing in your home :-)

Pink Elephants...sort of...

Things
I'm just waiting for some things to dry, so I thought I'd post another of today's frames. This print on cloth has been simply mounted and framed in aluminium, with UV Artglass to preserve the vibrant colours. A really fun piece to work on :-)

 

Red...

Had a couple of days off with man flu last week, so lots of catching up to do. First out of the blocks are a lovely couple of pieces by one of our younger artist clients. We've framed them in red with a red spacer at the side and then the artwork is floated over red velvet style mount board. Very striking :-)

Lots of frames out of shot waiting to have their glass cut tomorrow....no room to swing a cat...good thing I've got a dog....curry, beer, sleep and then back to the framing in the morning, then I need to start on a portrait commission in the afternoon...why are there only 7 days in a week, it's not enough... :-)

Reframing

This gorgeous watercolour came in for reframing having been dropped and damaged, a new silver moulding and a clean have restored it to its former glory :-)
