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.

 

Do you love gnomes? Here's some "Watermelon gnomes" for you!! This adorable cross stitch on white linen is a great example of some bright colors, but as you can see we did a triple mat with a matching white on top. When we matched the correct pink and green mats all you saw was the matting, but adding a third mat to soften the colors brings your eye back to the focal point...the gnomes! We hand stretched the fabric on to acid-free foamcore board and put regular glass in a traditional thin white frame.

 

This is a piece of fabric that was dry mounted to lay flat and framed in a metal frame with no glass.
