This is a piece I framed for a customer today.We chose a rich dark brown mat with a deep yellow/orange coloured bottom mat. Using a dark mat and frame creates a dramatic "window" effect, which pulls the eye right to the artwork. Because the piece has graphic clean lines, the frame also was chosen for its simplicity of shape. The customer chose non-glare glass with UV protection of 97% as this is a limited edition print hand signed by the artist. It is now framed for life. What a difference a frame makes! The artist website is www.modernformline.com.
From the Framer's Table
I would like to welcome you to my blog for Cornerstone Custom Picture Framing and Gallery. As a framer and gallery owner I get to see such interesting artwork everyday, and would love this chance to share some of it with you. Also, I hope this will bring awareness to the art and craft of the framing process itself and give you ideas of how to frame your own special artwork and memorabilia.
