Smart Framing

Yum!
Very kind gift from a customer who was collecting a cross stitch that she left with us for mounting and framing.
She is 'giving' rather than giving up something for lent and this was our reward for good service.
Feeling grateful 😁 ..

Dedicated to all abandoned pre-loved frames, wherever they may be...

'I WILL RE-VIVE' by Glorious Framer

At first I was a new frame, I was glorified
Kept thinking I'd forever live with mirrors by my side
But then you spent so many nights thinking of the new decor
And now I'm wrong
Because I don't match 'lilac song'

And so I'm back!
Taking up space
With all the other frames that once were loved but now don't have a place
I could display legends of rock
Oil paintings or a tapestry
I could at least cover the damp patch in the room you go to p*e

Go on now go, walk out the door
Wait, turn around now
Please take me with you out the store
You're the one who needs a frame for Auntie Vi,
Do you think I'd grumble
If I have to match her 60's style

Oh no not I, I will still thrive
For as long as there's upcycling
I know I can be re-vived
I've got lots more life in me
I've got lots more pics to see
I will re-vive
I will re-vive

Thank you so much to Luke, curator at Ink, for this amazing shout out.
It was great to meet you and Nykolas and to see this fantastic artwork. You have an obvious passion for art and your enthusiasm for the finished, framed presentation was lovely to see.
We attended your opening event, which looked to be a massive success. The variety of different art styles was amazing.
The whole team has done a brilliant job bringing everything together.
We wish you continued success with the gallery and look forward to dealing with you again.

These are just two of the frames that were produced in the workshop today and are now on display at Cambrian Photography in Colwyn Bay.
Most of our frames are bespoke and 'made to measure' but we like to make up a little selection of smaller, standard sized frames that are ready to buy.

These two are made from a flat profile, 30mm wide moulding.
The finish is 'brushed' and colour is gunmetal with silver inner edge.
Each frame comes complete with a white window mount that has a 45 degree bevelled inner edge, standard glass and a strut back (the back also has hanging attachments which can be used in vertical or horizontal orientation).

If you would like this frame in a different size, please contact us for pricing and quote moulding reference B39.

These two frames can take a 12x10" print without the mount, or a 10x8" print with the mount and are for sale at £18.00 each.

The frame colour is quite neutral so will work with a wide variety of colour schemes. This moulding works particularly well with both B&W images and wedding photography.

Another from our 'pre-loved' collection is this gold, swept frame to take a 20" x 16" image.
It's a solid, wooden frame with quite a bit of weight to it.
Again, there are a few age related marks which are to be expected, but it is still a quality frame which is very traditional in style and comes complete with non reflective glass for the bargain price of £20.00. ..
This 'swept' style of frame is very popular at the moment and can be quite pricey at two to three times that price when bought from new.
If gold isn't to your taste, this would be an ideal candidate for an upcycling project.
A tin of spray paint could be all it takes to give this frame a new lease of life and make it feel right at home in a modern setting.
