What makes My Personal Framer special-- Is it the art?

•  Is it the molding and matting samples?
•  Is it the special matting and framing techniques we offer?
•   Is it the years of experience?
•   Is it the customers that keep talking about us?
• I think it a bit of all of them and some, I'm sure, I haven’t thought of.  But, the main reason My Personal Framer is special, is you.  I want to do the best possible designs and framing for you. I want to carry only the best art and framing options.
• ​ I am always trying to improve your experience.  Together, we make it FUN!​

 But, I recently had a customer tell me I need to “Blow My Horn”
​about some of the  unique skills I bring to your framing presentation. 

​Some of specialized skills offered ​by my Personal Framer

• French lines-lines that are hand-ruled on the face of a mat using an engineers ruling pen.
• Panels– a narrow to wide border that follows the mat opening and is colored with either pastels, watercolors, book papers,  bordered by French lines or custom created to enhance the art.
• Hand-Painted Bevels-the bevel of the mat is painted to accent the art or to match the mat and make the white bevel disappear.
• ​French mat-a combination of French lines, panels and painted bevels.
•  Hand-wrapped Fabric mats-This is a lux look that features mats covered in fabric chosen specifically for your artwork.  The mat is sprayed with adhesive and the fabric  carefully adhered.  This mat features a clean bevel that has the fabric wrapped over the bevel and covers the cut edge of the mat window.
• Gold leafed bevels and accents-hand applied leaf on either the bevel, a panel or embellishments. 
• Can also be applied to frames for accents or completely cover the frame, antiqued and toned for a truly custom look.
• Fillets-these are small wooding inserts that can line the opening of a mat or the inner lip of the frame. 
• When combined with fabric-wrapped mats, lines or panels a truly one-of-a-kind framing is created.  

I have just listed a few of the special design elements that can be used to create your personal design.  These elements can be combined in an infinite number of ways to create a unique presentation for your art,
Of course, I also use preservation/conservation materials and methods with the above.  If you invest in fine framing for your art
​make sure it is done with the best possible materials and processes.
