How about this great tapa cloth that we custom framed! We have such cool stuff come in thru our door....
Bark cloth, or tapa, is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. The inner bark is taken from several types of trees or shrubs, often mulberry and fig, and designs are applied with paints and vegetable dyes of light brown, red, and black. Tapa was ceremonially displayed on special occasions, such as birthdays and weddings. In sacred contexts, tapa was used to wrap images of deities. Even today, at times of death, bark cloth may be integral part of funeral and burial rites. In Polynesia, textiles are considered women`s wealth.

We recently designed these frames for a wonderfully creative customer of ours. The frame package needed to accommodate 3D objects that she handcrafts from-the-heart, made out of Jerusalem Stone. Please take a look at more of Jen`s lovely products at holylandwoodandstone.com and @holylandwoodandstone

We framed this sweet piece a while back, but we thought Springtime would be the perfect time to share this one. The distressed frame works perfectly with this fun subject matter. Summer flowers & bees are right around the corner. Hang in there!

We absolutely LOVE this original painting of 2 friends by artist @james.feehan . We especially love the bird on the dog’s head! Our customer won the commission in an action held by the SPCA of Bucks County. So sweet....

Check out this rare, vintage Genesis tour poster, it’s a big one too! What a pleasure to design & frame! We used a new yellow ochre colored frame whose hip bohemian/classic vibe harmonizes perfectly with this piece. We (of course) archivally mounted 1st, and then protected this gem with Museum glass which is virtually invisible and UV filtering.

Our customer wanted to bring some color & fun to this drawing done by her daughter. We love the orange frame selection that looks almost pecked-at!

Ever wonder if UV filtering glass is doing anything? Check out this rare ca. 1970s George Harrison blacklight poster. A blacklight poster is printed with inks specifically designed to fluoresce under a black light. The inks used contain phosphors which cause them to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from black lights. Putting UV filtering glass on this type of poster will slightly minimize the intended glow effect, however, it will protect your investment for years to come.

This was a special one to design & put together. That’s an authentic Geronimo signature. We do a lot of historic document framing for this particular customer. Each one is a privilege to work on, and we treat them with honor, respect & UV filtering glass!

A red linen top mat complements this vibrant textile perfectly along with the chartreuse mat we floated the piece on. Museum glass allows for optimal viewing & UV filtering preservation. I’m sure the finished piece makes a powerful statement on the wall!

This work of fine art is actually a pastel! We raised the mats to allow for any loose pigment to fall behind the complementary colored mats. And how about that frame! It seems like it was just made for this piece. This is the lovely work of local artist Caryl Waters. Touché Carol, nicely done.

This little nuthatch is actually embroidery, not a drawing! Each “line” is drawn with thread. Our customers make our job so fun! We also LOVE this classically natural frame, it works so darn well with this lovely little piece.

How neat this was to frame! Natural coral is super delicate. We applied a gentle hand along with some lovely color selections, and of course used UV filtering Museum glass so you can see every detail. Great design work on this one Paul!
