Fine Art Framing Ideas For The Weekend
The weekend is here and we have a couple fine art framing ideas for you! We just finished these two wall frames! Both art prints were framed with a complimenting frame that have good presence. We then chose a mat that guides your eye away from the frame, over a small fillet to the art. […]
