This fun shadowbox holds a custom made fishing lure featuring the University of Oregon's logo. We had two plaques made to go inside and framed it under Museum Glass with 99% UV protection and an anti-reflection coating. The background and inner sides of the shadowbox use a black mat all in a contemporary black frame that is deep enough for the almost 2 inch height of the lure.

 

We absolutely love it when a client decides to do something a little different. This Grateful Dead poster is matted with a single black mat and Conservation Clear glass with 99% UV protection. All framed in an ornate silver tone over black moulding that features hearts, roses, and skulls! I think Jerry Garcia would love it!

A client brought in five full newspapers from the day of the historic headlines. We cut the front page along the side seam and mounted it on acid-free black mounting board (words from opposite side won't show) and matted with a single acid free black mat and put into matching beveled black frames, all under Conservation Clear Glass with 99% UV protection. Designed to have all five frames the same height, yet different widths due to sizes of newspapers. We folded the remaining newspaper and place inside of cellophane bag and slid into envelope pocket on back of frame.

This print of an original pen and ink drawing of the doorway of a church in Brooklyn, New York was mounted with Preserve Ultra acid-free mounting to lay flat and double matted with black and a matching white top mat under regular glass in a black frame with a nice bevel on the inside edge.

 

A black frame only can be really beautiful if you change up the profile and make it glossy. This poster of the bridges over the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon shows how a glossy frame with a deep bevel can elevate your art from a plain black metal frame.

 

Many stitchers are referred to us by the Local Needlework Shop (LNS) Acorns and Threads that is located in the Raleigh Hills neighborhood of Portland. They bring us beautiful hand stitched needlepoint pieces to be blocked and hand stretched. These two were stretched over quilt batting to give them a more three dimensional puffy look. We added single mats and then lifted the Museum Glass with spacers to not squish the stitching.

All museum mounted and framed in a textured dark brown wood frame to show off it's many colors.
