Some Nic Vickery originals

 

A couple of originals by artist Nic Vickery here, a beautiful tree and landscape which we've framed in oak, with a double mount. And a stunning pastel stag which we've made a handpainted frame for and then floated the artwork over the mount board. A gorgeous picture :-)

Artist Lihua Yuan

 

Here we've framed up two beautiful botanical watercolours by artist Lihua Yuan. We've made an inner slip to match the gold frame and then added a double mount and Artglass, all of which sets off the artwork to maximum effect :-)

Old Photos

 

We've been working on these photos this morning, the top one came in the beautiful antique frame and needed a bit of tidying, cleaning and a new mount. The one at the bottom we've made in a similar frame and added an oval mount as the original photo was an oval. Both are really fascinating images to look at and now have lovely period style frames to show them off :-)

Which came first?

 

"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 :-)

Formula One - Memorabilia

 

This was a really fun project to work on. We've got a full set of Parc Ferme passes from the 2012 formula one race season. Each car gets a pass when the cars are held in the paddock between qualifying and race day, these were attached to one of the Caterham cars and there's one for all 20 races last year. So a very rare collectable from the world of F1 :-)

We also have a couple of photos, one of the car and one of the driver and his engineer. We mounted these side by side with the passes floated within the main mount around the edge. Lots of carefull mount cutting required but well worth the effort :-)

David Shepherd ' Savuti Elephants'

 

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 Purple Spacer

 

We've framed up this print of Jericho in Oxford by Mavis Burley today. As with yesterday's framing post we've used a colour spacer to compliment one of the colours in the piece and on this occasion we've used a simple oak frame to finish things off. :-)
