One of the fun parts of custom picture framing that the clients rarely get to experience is the thrill of seeing each element of the design being added. Clients usually bring in their unframed pieces and then come back to pick up their completed frame jobs.

Picture one is the art after its been mounted in a vacuum heat press onto Acid Free Preserve Ultra mounting board which, by the way, is completely reversible.

Picture two has the acid free double mat added.

Picture three has the frame laying on it without the glass added.

Picture four is of the completed frame job after the glass, paper and wire has been added onto the back of the frame.

It's such a lovely view of Mt. St. Helens from Scappoose, Oregon.

Here are some wonderful pieces of landscape art that we've framed. Whether they are paintings on canvas or a print that is matted and framed under glass, we've seen some gorgeous landscapes!!

 

In honor of the Juneteenth holiday, here are some beautiful pieces we've framed over the years.

 

Do you have a cherished family heirloom you would like to preserve and display? This owner of this necklace passed away, but the family had this hand sewn to a black mat board and framed in a black shadowbox under Museum Glass to hang in their home in honor of their family member.

 

May 18th is International Museum Day! Have you ever wanted a piece of art from a museum in your home? We've framed many prints of original pieces for people to hang in their homes. From contemporary modern art to the great masters.

 

A signed and numbered print is matted with a white mat that has been hand black cored under museum glass in a gold frame with a twisted texture. Such an adorable piece!!

 

This diamond art of a blue and white nautilaus was canvas mounted on to foamboard and put into a blue metal contemporary frame without any glass.

 

Fan art under a double mat and mounted with Preserve Ultra to make it lay nice and flat with museum glass in a contemporary black frame.

 

A pet memorial of an artistically enhanced photo with a 3D plaster cast of the pawprint in a deep frame to accomodate it. Under regular glass in a contemporary black frame.

 

This shadowbox contains the original brass whistle, billy club, and regulation book from a family member's time on the Portland, Maine police force. A reprinted photograph and a new printed plaque complete the design for future generations.

 

This beautiful photograph art was mounted using Preserve Ultra acid free foamcore and double matted with an additional colorstrip of yellow all under museum glass in a contemporary metallic finished wood frame.

 

Just in time to hang in his dorm room!! This Portland Winterhawks hockey player's jersey and medal were hand sewn down to a black mat board and shadow boxed with red inside the sides of the contemporary black frame all under Museum glass with 99% UV protection and reflection control that makes it look like there is no glass!!

 

Are you a sports nut? Check out this autographed basketball jersey of Shaquille O'Neal. We hand sewed it down to a black mat and then lifted a double mat of the purple and gold to match. Framed in a contemporary black frame under Conservation Clear glass that is 99% UV protected to help keep the autograph from fading.

 

Have you brought back a rolled up canvas from one of your travels? This client had us stretch it on to stretcher bars and then frame it with the ultra skinny contemporary black floater frame with a space between the edge of the canvas and the inside edge of the frame.

 

Do you love original paintings on canvas? We have a wide selection of mouldings to show off your art at it's best! This original painting on canvas of a vase of sunflowers needed a dark brown frame that has a light natural tan edging on both the inside and outside edges. Doesn't it look wonderful? No glass needed and it's so lightweight!

 

Do you have a jigsaw puzzle that is a custom size and/or shape? Have you ever wanted to frame your jigsaw puzzle? Check out these abstract colored puzzles in the shape of Snoopy from Peanuts. We floated them on top of a white background underneath regular glass in matching black contemporary flat frames. How fun is that?!!

 

Are you a sloth person? These adorable coordinating prints are for Collin's baby room. The prints are dry mounted on to foamcore board to lay flat after coming rolled up in a tube. We then double matted them and used regular plexiglass for safety in a child's room. All framed in a contemporary flat black frame.

 

When this oversized dupioni silk fabric was hanging on a rod until it started to disintegrate our client brought it in and asked how we could frame it so they could still enjoy it's beauty while preserving it from further decay. We hand sewed along the top seam line to a cotton fabric in a coordinating color which we then stretched over an acid-free foamcore board. To keep it lightweight we used plexiglass with 99% UV protection and a non-glare coating to protect it from fading. The frame is a contemporary flat face with a light tan line on both the inside and outside edge.

 

Small 4x6 original colorful abstract portrait of our client is mounted on foamcore to raise and float atop a black mat with a maroon suede single mat surrounding it that is raised with spacers to highlight the three dimensional feel. Framed in a wooden frame featuring a contemporary metallic black finish and using 99% UV protected Museum Glass for that invisible look. What a fun little piece!!
