Hobbies keep our life interesting and this customer's love of fly fishing takes him around the world! Each of these flies were handmade from beautiful vividly colored feathers. We placed each of the flies in its own window and kept the matting a simple black suede on the inside and outside with a white bevel on the floated mat. This ensured the flies captured your attention immediately and made them the center of attention. Museum Glass was used and when the piece was placed on the wall, it looked as if there was no glass at all.
Cherished family items and photos evoke memories and feelings of home and childhood, but what do you do with them besides putting them in a drawer? In a lot of cases, people never look at these items again and they are forgotten and sometimes even lost. This customer fondly remembered her grandfather's bakery from her childhood. Coupled with the photo, we casually displayed one of his tools for cutting dough. Now she can look at this shadowbox and remember her childhood and how much she enjoyed visiting him in his shop.
Framing sports memorabilia is a fun way to preserve that special autographed jersey or other item. This customer's girlfriend was a big Gator fan and a Tim Tebow fan, so he framed this for her birthday and surprised her. He could not wait to see her face when she walked in and it was hanging on the wall!
Half the fun of traveling to foreign destinations is finding unique hand made art and other items to bring back to adorn your walls. This customer vacationed in Vietnam and brought back some really beautiful hand stitched, silk scenes. The rich, Asian inspired frame really enhances these pieces nicely without taking away from the beauty of the artwork.
A Florida transplant, Steven's love of the beach influences his photographic adventures. He receives immense satisfaction capturing beauty from the unpredictable behavior of wildlife. Frames N' Things also features some of Steven's amazing work for sale.
This beautiful pair of cross stitch shoes have been framed to hang together. The frame used, Guerrini from Italy is the same design but in different colors. The suede mats were chosen to enhance each picture while providing a very eccelectic approach to framing two items that will hang together. It enhances the difference in the color palette, while pulling the project together from a design standpoint.
This customer brought a wolf print into the shop along with some fur from the wolf and wanted to incorporate it into the design. Using the Wizard Computerized mat cutter, we placed the fur into a paw print added to the bottom of the framing project.
We specialize in mounting and framing sports memorabilia. Jerseys are hand stitched so you will not have sagging when items hang on the wall. We can also order lucite display cases in a variety of sizes or have one custom built to fit your particular item.
This jersey has been double matted in suede mats that provide a rich background for the design.
Collages are a great way to showcase memorabilia. This father wanted to preserve his daughter's first Miles For Moffit event....she participated in the children's walk and was under the age of five. How sweet.
This customer brought items in to have us design a retirement gift for her friend who was an accountant. We started with ledger paper and computer printouts, layered on an abacus, slide rule and computer program disks. What a great way to say Happy Retirement.
