This was a fun project and a test for our organization skills. When our client approached us with dozens of photos that she had taken while on safari in Africa, she was overwhelmed and unsure of how to display them in an attractive manner. We helped her select her favourite photos from her library. After we chose the pair of lions in the tree as the focal point, the rest of the photos were selected by alternating between close ups and distant shots. They were then arranged in a photo collage format and printed on a large canvas to size 36 x48. The Framecraft black float frame finishes off the piece nicely. The result is a dramatic framed collage that commemorates the time her and her husband spent on safari. . . #africananimals #africanwildlife #africansafaris #africanphotography #africanphoto #vacationphotos #printyourphotos #printoncanvas #photosoncanvas #niagarabusiness #niagarabusinesses

We are all proud of our roots and the symbols of our heritage. This client was thrilled to have found this heirloom kilt that was made by her grandmother. The kilt is now at least 60 years old. She decided to frame it in a Framecraft shadowbox frame with black suede matting and red and yellow accent mattes. Now the special tartan will proudly display on her family wall and the memories of her grandmother will come to mind each time she admires the shadowbox. Search your homes for these family treasures. It’s worth the effort to custom frame them and show your friends and families your roots ! . . #shadowbox #familyheirlooms #family #scottishkilts #scottishkilt #scottishroots #shadowboxart #shadowboxframe #customframing #niagararegion #stcatharines #welland #grimsby #pelham #niagaraonthelake #stcatharinespictureframing #niagarapictureframing

Hey! We just realized it is one month until the Arkells perform at the Meridian_Centre in St. Catharines. This Arkells fan decided to celebrate his favourite band every day by framing an autographed poster and pin. We also personalized it with a gold engraving plate using our very own laser engraver. Looks great! Concert memorabilia makes impactful wall art....not to mention it makes you want to dance and sing every time you look at it ! . . . #arkells #arkellsmusic #thearkells #rallycrytour #arkellshamont #hamontmusic #bestliveband #MeridianCentre #canadianmusic #canadianband #stcatharines #niagara #thorold #grimsby #welland #niagararegion #niagara

We loved framing these watercolours of wildflower bouquets. The artist came across these watercolours in storage that she had painted while she was a young aspiring artist. Since they were reminiscent of her youth and the joy that painting brings to her, she decided to frame them so that they can hang together in her home. The paintings were slightly different in size so we adjusted the width of the matting so that they could be framed in the same size frame for balance on the wall. They look vintage and new at the same time in this matte grey frame with silver highlights and muted matting. So pretty! . . #watercolourpainting #botanicalart #botanicalartwork #wildflowerart #watercolourflowers #flowerart #niagaraart #niagaraartist #thorold #welland #grimsby #niagaraonthelake #notl #niagarafalls #stcatharines #niagara #ourhomestc #supportlocal
