Arabella's Artwork

Arabella is just 3 years old. But she is already showing promise to follow in Mommy's footsteps as an artist.

Leslie honors her spirit by taking her little girl's artwork and displaying it, as art, in their home. We love this piece.

Childrens art work

  This little one was 3 years old at the time of these paintings.  Mommy brought them into to be framed as a surprise for Daddy at Christmas.  I'm sure he loved them.

Birth Announcements

Most people just talk about framing Birth Announcements but Leslie acually did it, and they look fabulous. She picked the same frame for both, Englesens Vintage Black 3" molding with floating top mat.

 

 

 

Mr. Baseball

Jordan is an "All Star" who loves to pitch.  He showed us the knuckle ball, the fast ball, the fork... and a bunch more that I can't remember.  He is Autumn's 12 year old brother and this is his name frame.

The fun parts of this name frame are hard to tell from this picture.  His favorite was the bat up the lond side of the "d" and the way the baseballs around the egde were spinning like it had been pitched. 

In hind sight, we all agreed that a navy blue frame may have been a better choice because he is a Yankee's fan.  We may change that, we'll see...

Girly girl or Tom boy?

This is Autumn, and she is something.  When asked what her favorite things were so that we could be inspired for decorating her Name Frame, she said, "Football... (long thinking pause)...AND FLOWERS!"  So that is exactly what she got.  Putting the turquise fringe around the outside of her frame really tickled her.  When we told her she could do that, her eyes were as big as silver dollars. 

Look how cute...

I think these look so adorable.  When you are standing in front of them it reminds you of what it's like to be a kid.

This is Larson Juhl's Couleurs Provence line.  We used Poppy, Sunflower, Tropez, and French Bleu.   

Of course the art is from Artaissance...

Museum Glass - what is it?

At The Frame Studio in Fort Lauderdale, we offer many types of glass choices for your custom framing needs.  For example, Clear, Conservation Clear -UV Protection, Reflection Control, Plexi Glass, but the one who gets all the attention is the Museum Glass.  Our samples always have finger prints on them because clients can not believe there is actually glass over them.  Many clients have brought in previously framed pieces to replace their current glass with Museum Glass.

Believe it or not, choosing the right glass for your framing project can have just as much of a “Wow” factor as the choice of a frame and mat.

With Museum Glass you can clearly see the difference. It’s almost as if there is no glass at all. Reflection is reduced by over 85 percent, for the lowest possible reflection rating and the highest light transmission of all other glass on the market.

How does Museum Glass do it?

by Valentina Vianello

This very special piece of art was made specially for me by my neice Valentina Vianello.  She was 8 years old at the time.  She painted the beach because I live in Fort Lauderdale and she had just visited.  It took me until a few months ago to frame it.  I choose a white wash Laville frame.  I think it makes it look like you are looking out the window to a colorful ocean sun.  This piece is priceless and will stay with me forever.

If I had children...

I would have to have these too.  I'm thinking about having children now, just so I can justify putting these in my home.  I did order these for my store each 8"x8" on canvas.  (you can have them any size) but the frames aren't in yet.  When they are, I'll post them framed too so you can see.  Or come in to the store.

Here we have Turtle, Bee, red Bird, and Owl, by Kate Endle.   Artaissance

The Name Frame

The name frame is a popular gift for the kids in your life.  They are individually designed to fit their personalities, their favorite hobbies or their room decor.  They are intentionally without photographs so that they can remain on the walls for years without looking out dated.  The embellishments are 3 D and the variety is endless.  A few minutes of brainstorming about your child and we'll have something tailor made.
