Seahorse

 

Here's one of the more unusual objects we've framed recently...a seahorse. We opted for a simple white frame with a spacer to give us a good gap between the seahorse and the glass. The seahorse itself is mounted directly onto the backboard and casts lovely shadows on the interior of the frame.

Marbling

 

This pair of beautiful images are done with a marbling technique, ink floated on water and then paper floated over that to pick up the ink...at least I'm guessing that's how they've been done :-) We've framed them in matching oak frames, but used different coloured mounts to enhance each individual picture. A couple of very unusual and very interesting pictures.

Banksy

 

Something a little different here, this is a Banksy print, originally framed by another framer, but in need of some new glass after a little accident. Luckily there was no damage to the print, so with a bit of a clean up and a new piece of UV glass in place it's all ready to go back up the wall. You can learn about Banksy's current project in New York here... http://www.banksyny.com

Batik

 

A lovely batik piece here that we've framed very simply with a thin stained oak frame, plain mount and diffuse glass. Sometimes you don't want the frame to shout and draw your eye to the artwork, this was one of those occasions, the beautiful artwork is all the better for being simply presented.
