Roll up, roll up! I’ve got another lovely little matchbox work by Jim McElvaney framed up and looking for a new home. It’s framed in a 15mm stained oak profile set on a black suede mount-board and glazed with ArtGlass AR70 for that invisi-feel 👌 Measures 210 x 310mm outside size. £125. DM if you’re interested.

Hand decorated window mounts can really set something off. In this particular example, lines have been applied using watercolour paints and a ruling pen, with a wash added between the two ochre lines. It’s not a skill many framers retain. It’s often seen as quite dated, but done well and on the right work, it’s in keeping and can offer a very elegant and truly bespoke feature to the framing.

Declen Patten Ladies and Gentlemen 👏

Up there with the coolest of things I’ve had in for framing I’d say. 🔥

This painting has been built up over years. Heavily impasto’d and at approximately 50x70cm this thing weighed in at the size of a small Koi Carp. So float mounting it was interesting!

Framing was gallery white, clean and minimal. Let the painting do it’s dance 💃 Artglass to minimise any pesky reflection.

🍭To induce a true state of psychosis when viewing this artwork, I recommend repeatedly thrusting your head back and forth like a chicken whilst holding your breath.

Solid ash frame with a hand painted bevel

This framed original print is a real beauty, and I like to think I’ve nicely accentuated the vortex vibe through the framing. It’s available for the price of £160. Happy to post at an additional cost. DM if interested.

⚽️🌍🏆 With the Football World Cup kicking off yesterday, I obviously had to wheel out this beauty again. The intersection of football, drinking culture and design is upon us again, and that’s exactly where these discarded cigarette packet works by .fitzmaurice strike 🔥. I chose my starting eleven, handpainted this green suede mountboard and framed them up because, why not?

I’m absolutely buzzing that the biggest sporting event on the calendar has landed, are you?! Perhaps the more pressing question is, is it coming home? The floor is open..



So, is it ??

Fabric can be a really nice way to bring in texture, colour and something individual into a framing job. It can be used to line the inside of box frames or wrap slips or spacers in. It’s not something that many framers offer or know how to do, but it can really elevate something and bring a touch of luxury or a personal touch. Have you got a fabric that is special to you that you’d like including in a framing job? Get in touch.

I hand wrapped the blue linen over the inner bevelled profile for this job, which proved tricky as the fabric was fairly stiff! Managed it though, and the result was worth it. The canvas came in raw too, so it’s been stretched over stretcher bars. The outer frame is a ‘denim’ real wood veneer.
