We have had a batch of football and rugby jerseys to frame over the past few weeks. One thing we have know in advance is that since they are probably batch produced they are hardly tailor-made in proportions.  Plus, if they have been worn in a game the tugging and pulling they received renders them considerably out of shape. We have a method of framing and fixing them down.  Generally, the overall size of the finished work is around 900mm x 750mm and the cost complete is £69.00 on average.

Bambi turns up for framing regularly; sometimes a stitchwork, a print, a watercolour.  This time a print on canvas.  An unobstrusive ash frame so as not to detact from all that’s going on in the scene.  Antique white mount and glass to complete

We have had a flow of this kind of work over the past few months.  Oil on canvas in a 45mm wide black ash frame.  Size approx 600x450mm.  The popularity grows!

The two pedestals were put to use at the wedding and these two photos demonstrate that the work was well worth doing…..especially as they were donated and will be available for future use

Change of direction for us this week.  With a wedding coming up next Saturday 20th we were asked to make some feature pillars on which to place two vases of flowers.  Mainly we have made ’empty’ picture frames for both the top and bottom as you can see.

The actual pillar section is composed of four lengths of rainwater downpipe held together with clear silicone.  We are pleased with the result and hope the couple will be too.  With vases of flowers atop each one there may be the call for more photos.
