Cross-stitch in a clean, square brown frame.

This is a frame we built for our studio display. Photo was taken by Laura Gioja at a recent wedding. We blew the image up to a 24×36 – counter shot for scale.

We framed this for a woman in town who sketched it back in 1988 with chalk on a black sheet of paper.

This frame and print were badly damaged in the recent 2008 Watseka flooding.  We digitally restored the print, and also replaced the frame with a custom replica.  The rare convex glass was saved and re-used in the new assembly, and the frame was custom fitted for the glass.

This is a collage that we designed from three old slides taken in the Netherlands, printed as a 12×24 print, and framed.

We were recently asked to mat and frame this signed photo of a slapshot by Jonathan Toews.

One of the first projects we had the privilege of working on after moving our studio to Watseka was frames for the Watseka mayors.  We completed 15 new 8×10 frames, which are mounted on the bottom row in the photos.

This frame is a double window mat with two photos that we digitally restored, printed, and framed for a Father’s Day gift.

This frame has three mats, and was assembled for Baier Funeral Home in Watseka.  The sketch is by Craig Massey, a local artist.

This frame is a complicated assembly.  We made a layer of black matboard and adhered it to foamcore to give it rigidity.  The apron also has a layer of white matboard to hide the fabric folds, and then the apron assembly was sewn and taped down to the black matboard.  We also had a plate made which names the chef who signed this apron.
