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 […]
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 […]
Skinny Custom Frame!
Another skinny custom frame we just built for a beautiful painting! We wanted to pick up on the long shape of the painting itself and the skinny stem in this colorful piece! Underglass Custom Picture Framing in San Francisco is framing since the 80s. Our two locations are open 7 days a week, we have […]
Look at these two amazing pieces we framed!
When we designed our custom frames for these two wonderful art prints we knew we wanted to show the whole paper! So we used a technique called floating art. This way the whole piece of art is shown and is lifted up from the mat board. It not only allows the painting to be displayed […]
Frames for Art of Color and Form
We finished this week with two amazing pieces of art: Artist Alex Voinea’s colorful painting called for a frame design where his art could freely continue its movement and we thought a floating technique and a thin whitewash Ash hardwood frame, with matching spacers would just do that! We used a clean gallery cap frame […]
Photography And The Art Of Framing
As custom picture framers we love the combination of photography and the art of framing. For this amazing photo of what might be a starling we took inspiration from the wings of the bird and chose a frame with detail that mimics the feel of the feathers. We rounded out this classic looking picture frame […]
A Custom Frame For Contemporary Art
We really love framing contemporary art! For example this eerie, dreamlike art by Mark Ryden : We wanted to frame it in the best way to continue the mood and feel in the painting with an ornate frame that has depth and texture and compliments the colors that the artist chose for his print. This […]
Colorful, Beautiful Bird Themed Art Custom Framed
We are so happy with these three custom frames we just built, and they happened to be all for bird themed art! A custom fabric wrapped hardwood shadowbox is what this beautiful South African place mat desired for the first image. Image Two: We sewed a colorful peacock feather fan onto a hand wrapped silk […]
Gold Tone Design for Antique Rice Paper Art
We love these antique rice paper prints designer friends from Redmond Aldrich Design brought in. Their vision for this custom picture frame design was perfect, a gold brass look for the actual frame is all this frame projected needed! We used all conservation and museum quality materials so it will protected for many, many years […]
Unconventional Framing with Traditional Japanese Woodblock Style Frame
We are honored to be sought out for conceptual projects like this! For this very sentimental, exceptionally rare, unreleased, holy grail of Pearl Jam poster we had to come up with a very special custom picture frame. We wanted to pay tribute to the traditional Japanese woodblock style frame with an embossed black silk mat […]
