It has been a while since updating the blog due to busy times but here are a few recent jobs.
Some fun ones to start with.
Ready for a cuppa? This is a tea towel featuring the PG Tips monkey!
Football fan? The parents of this new born boy are Arsenal fans so Grandma brought in a beautifully executed cross stitch and we happily obliged with some team colours. You will notice the baby is named after Arsenal player Theo Walcott.
The frame is one from a range of High Gloss lacquered finishes which are becoming extremely popular especially in clean whites and jet blacks. What they would call "On Trend" in the TV home design programmes.
Memorabilia is something we do a lot of and the makers of some electrical goods brought in some items from a specialised light they manufacture and we put them together as a leaving present for one of the company founders.
We think this layout of odd sized articles has worked well and although some items are three dimensional they all sit well in the mount.
Out partying? These young folk were and had their photos taken in their posh frocks and smart suit. What better way to carry on the celebrations than have the photos framed. A bright white mount adds punch to the high key images and a subtle shade of grey underneath ties it into the pewter frame. The frame has been kept narrow to preserve the panoramic proportions and by selecting anti reflective glass the owner will see the pictures rather than her reflection.
To finish off we ought to mention an important piece of equipment used on the last two examples. We own a Computer Mount Cutter which is capable of cutting mounts to extreme levels of precision and is the only way to cut multi layered multiple aperture mounts to an acceptable quality. The machine will also cut ovals, circles, geometric shapes or any of a huge number of special shapes from its design library. We can also create unusual designs using a graphics package.
Below is the cutter completing a five aperture double layer mount.
We can cut any number of mounts from a one off bespoke framing job to thousands of identical mounts for a run of prints. We also supply our colleagues in the framing trade who cannot make the investment in their own machine.
Hopefully we will be able to post more regularly in the future but in the meantime do give us a call to discuss your framing needs.
