Wooden Frame For Original Mexican Art
We love this wooden frame with a worn look for our client’s original art painting she brought back from Mexico. We floated the paper on matboard because we wanted to show the originality and give it some shadow depth in the frame and used a museum quality glass to protect the vibrant colors from fading. […]
A Balanced Frame Design For Oakland Street Artist’s Letterpress
We framed another local artist’s piece: GATS ( graffiti against the system ) . This 12×12 letterpress has such beautiful paper edges, we had to float it and just use a contemporary satin finish black frame to keep the Balance, which is also the name of this print. Please checkout @gatsptv for this street artist’s […]
Fabric Mat And Traditional Frame For This Watercolor
When we frame fine art, like this watercolor, we love to hear what our clients would like the frame design to be like. We loved the idea of a traditional picture frame for this one, the texture of the fabric mat really gives it a nice touch! As always, we aim for museum quality and […]
Using Shape and Color in Frame Design
We do pick up a lot on shapes and color in our frame designs! For this piece we used the shapes of the roofs as a guide for the actual frame shape. The art itself is pretty busy when you look close enough so we floated the paper on a mat and gave it a […]
Comic Work Risograph in Glitter Frame

Vintage Sunflower School Chart Shadowbox Frame
Sunflowers are so amazing and we loved building a shadowbox for this vintage sunflower school chart form Germany. The print was originally mounted on canvas so it wouldn’t crease from rolling it up and down. The colors are all still like new and vibrant. We wanted it to remain just like it was made originally […]

Creating A Custom Frame For Antique Wedding Photo
We recently framed a series of a client’s family photos collection here at our San Francisco frame shop. We loved the sepia tones in this amazing wedding photo and while we love the antique, classic feel for the photo, our client wanted a touch of modern. So we offered a beveled walnut frame with a […]
