Eight years Ago

In 2016 we framed this large celebration map of Italy for the couple named on it. Now we are post-Covid and many other events that have turned the world on it’s head. Wonder how they are getting on?

A recent interesting work is shown below.  It was a combined effort between children who coloured the frame, the artist and ourselves..

Catches the Eye!

Another from Viki la Metz

Viki is a prolific artist. Generally large works with a cartoon quality. This family ski scene was a recent commission that we handled from bare canvas to it’s finish. 1200 x 1200 mm. You can view more of her work at vikicartoons.com.

BIG

This tapestry measured about

1.75 x 1 metre. We have squared it up, added a back cloth with full length opening for pole that it hangs on. A lot of work but satisfaction came from the result.

WASH AND LINE BORDERS

We do a lot of wash and line borders on mounts. The permutations are endless; the result enhancing. Watercolours from past centuries were often bordered with wash and line. This mount on this work below is for a frame that measures 480 x 540mm. A twelve line and one wash border added to the mount has a seperate cost of £11. The wash is in the 10mm ‘trough’ and in the photograph is barely discernable, which is what it is supposed to be.

All done by hand with sustainable watercolours.

WE LIKE LINES

Any artwork, be it watercolour, photo or print can be enhanced with wash line borders. We like them because they focus the eye on the subject if done with discretion and not as a ‘decoration’ that detracts. Here below, is an example. The photo is old and partly damaged (which we will repair). The mount is new with appropriate shade and texture. Three lines to tie the image to the mount and frame will complete the work. The cost for this lining work, all done by hand and which will go into a 655 x 455mm frame added a cost of just £6.66

Towards Springtime

In addtion to the normal flow of work, people are starting to produce canvases, prints and watercolours for upcoming exhibitions. We see examples that have quite beautiful subjects…….here is one from Sian McGill. You can see more of her works at sianmcgill.com
