Just in case anyone was wondering about that huge needlepoint I was lacing one day... It went in a canvas float frame so you could see every single stitch! Gold face with whitewashed interior and exterior walls. I think it gave her a very elevated coastal vibe!

Happy 4th of July weekend and 250th birthday, USA!

I had a very special cross-stitch come in this week in honor of this important celebration, but it will take me a hot minute to complete the vision we have for it. I was hoping to frame a Mirabilia "Lady of the Flag" and sure enough, one of the best stitchers I know worked her up in stunning fashion! It will be a belated finish on my part, but 1000% worth following to see when it's done. For now, I reached back into the archives to find this other patriotic little morsel to share with you all.

Everyone stay safe and have fun this weekend!

What's cooking in the frame shop this rainy afternoon?

Felt like sharing a small piece of my manic brain today since I have my hands on too many things. Yeah, I could show you another something from the hoard of other polished final pics, but today I am admiring two giant canvases I just stretched(48"x72" and 40"x60"), aptly working on lacing an enormous needlepoint that I also built strainer bars to support(20"x40"), and I am joined in glorious company by this life-sized beaded impala head who came in for framing design today. We have great plans for him... and other pieces that came at the same time!

Finished reframing this old cross stitch a little while ago. I love the stitcher's ex*****on because it was completed on two different colors of aida cloth, stitched together. Was originally framed in neutral browns and cream with a traditional dome cut, but we re-envisioned it in greens for a fresh take, and added a little notch on the new dome cut. Oriental bamboo frame for an oriental kitty!

Can I frame a crochet? Yeah, of course! A crochet blanket?! Let's do it! These 3d animal granny squares turned out so cute, it was a wonderful idea to frame it to enjoy, rather than throw it over a chair.

I've been working so hard, I almost forgot to show you all how the TMNT cross stitch came out! We chose a simple black and green double mat, but with a white core and black core, you get 4 elements for the price of 2. And the mat cut? Pure joy. Love making custom shapes like this! Someone else come bring me a fun challenge!

What's cooking in the shop today?
amongst other things...
Been trying to recreate this INSPIRED mat design featured on this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cross stitch booklet circa 1990. Couple hiccups, but got it down and simplified well enough for Gandalf to cut it beautifully! Next step is recut in the mat colors we picked, mount the cross stitch, build the frame, put it all together, and eat some pizza to celebrate!

Something blue for this rainy Monday... but not at all dreary! This quaker turtle cross stitch was all done in a variegated thread that ranges between the two mat colors we chose. Though I've framed this pattern a few times before, it was the first time we tried an octagonal cut mat to mimic the shapes within. Don't tell the other stitchers, but this is my favorite framed quaker turtle yet!

I've been too busy to post as often as I'd like, but this was a fun, different project I recently finished...
An artist came in with three framed prints she no longer felt attached to. The frames themselves were a beautiful inlaid wood veneer. She asked if I could cut them down into smaller sizes, so I sat down and hammered out some math. At the end of the day, we turned 3 medium sized frames into 4- 11x14"s, one 6x6", and a bonus 4.5x6" All that was left were the little nubbins also pictured and a box full of shavings as I recut the corners to expose fresh wood for rejoining. It was satisfying to see so little waste, and to transform the old into new again. She provided 4 prints of her own original paintings to go int he 11x14"s, and will make custom cropped canvas prints for the smaller two on her own.

Artist name is Sissy Carroll. She shows her art in Georgetown Art Gallery.

More lovely photos of our repainted frame, now in it's new home. The detail shot at the end is a must see... you can't appreciate the texture of that frame any other way!
