Framing projects

When a customer asked if we could frame a signed football shirt for her son, we jumped at the chance. This was our first opportunity to frame a sports shirt and we were pleased with the results. Our customer had been quoted over £100 to get it framed - we were able to 'upgrade' the project by adding additional mount borders and still complete it for considerably less.

We were asked to make a box frame to display a boxed Funko Pop! Figure. The brief was that the box should appear to be floating and that there should be no damage to the box.

This customer had bought two identical posters, one for themselves and one as a gift for a friend and asked us to make two identical frames. We went with a red mount with a white frame as those are the colours of their team (St Helens RLFC ). We increased the border width at the bottom to accommodate the caption the customer asked for - an aperture was bevel cut into the border to display the caption.

As seems often to be the case with posters, this one was an awkward size which didn't seem to fit any ready made frames, so bespoke was the only option. While we usually love using a mount to pick out a colour from a picture, (and we could have had so much fun with this one!) we felt the poster looked perfect without a border. For the frame, we picked out and matched the darkest colour (not black, its actually a very dark blue). Subtle, but works so much better than a black frame.
