Yes, We Frame Maps!
For this Greenwich Village map we used two contrasting mat colors to float and cut around to really set the map off. The Art Deco frame with the warm silver tone gives the whole frame design for this map project the right vibe and looks really classy. If you are thinking of having your map […]
We Love the Art we get to Frame!
This past week we framed so much interesting art! From prints to paintings, whimsical and bold and colorful art- and we love it all. We floated some prints to get more shadow play, we matted with an added fillet for the classic and ornate look and we kept it bold and sharp with a deep […]
