Oh, oh, OH!

I've collected frames throughout the years, whether or not I have a specific piece in mind for them. (One never knows!) But you've provided such wonderful and clever ideas that I'd never even considered. (Using old clothing and linens? WHAT. Game changer.)

I particularly love #4 — such a good, low-risk way to inject color into a space. All great tips. Thanks!

A great resource! Always talking to our clients about framing. It makes the biggest difference. White space is sometimes all it takes!

Perhaps blasphemous to say in response to this post but I just got some art back from … Framebridge. And while it looks good and does the trick, I felt a little sad using such a large commercial company rather than an individual framing shop. All to say - thank you to the Substack algorithm for listening to my thoughts and sharing this newsletter and thank you for writing it! Bookmarking it for the couple of items I need to frame next. 🙏🏾

This is really inspiring. I definitely forget about all the ways to use frames beyond’s just the typical. Thanks!

This was immensely helpful, thank you! I’ve always felt like a total newbie with framing and this answered questions I didn’t know I had 😅

Quick question: How to insert and hold fabric in place? Is there glue involved (I’m guessing/hoping not but then, how to keep it neat and straight?)?
