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.

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.

Cross Stitch Series

A long time client brought in the first of these counted cross stitches she did on linen and said there were two more in the series and she wanted them to be framed similar to each other.  

We initially ordered enough of the moulding for 3 frames at the same time 

so they would be from the same lot.  Sometimes moulding can change grain 

or color intensity if not ordered from the same batch.  

Then as each stitchery came in we color matched the double mats 

to each one while always using a green as the top mat.  

They were each framed a few months apart, 

so please excuse the different lighting in each picture.  

All three were hand stretched over an acid free backing board, double matted 

and framed under Museum Glass with 99% UV protection 

and the anti-reflection coating that makes it look nearly invisible!!
