Ever wonder what goes into building the foundation of a framed canvas?

Here’s a time-lapse of me making a custom stretcher bar from start to finish. Precision matters — because the frame should support the artwork, not distract from it. This attention to detail keeps artwork secure, straight, and looking its best for years to come.

Custom framing isn’t just decoration — it’s craftsmanship.

I'm proud to share this recent project with you, I presented several ideas for the client and ultimately developed a shadow box for their artwork. They were seeking a design that felt contemporary and timeless, so I incorporated these elements into the concept. The goal was to create a frame that not only displays the art but also tells the story of its significance to them. I selected foam core to mount the artwork, allowing it to float beautifully while also providing a backing that serves as the perfect visual ‘home’ for the frame. The white foam core adds depth to the presentation without drawing attention away from the artwork itself. I employed a preservation-style mounting process, ensuring the art can breathe while maintaining a polished and intentional appearance. Every component of the build is archival, allowing the piece to age gracefully. My client was delighted and loved the dimensional feel, stating that their art piece now "has its own little stage to shine on."

I wished to share this specific artwork...A customer approached me about a week and a half ago, wanting to fit a portrait of his wife into the frame featured in the picture... Undertaking this project proved challenging as I had to sand down the frame skillfully - swiftly yet cautiously - to ensure the picture nestled perfectly within it... It was a task that took several hours, punctuated with intermittent breaks…As you can see this customer has chosen a perfect frame for an astonishing painting of his wife!!!

I decided to start stretching from the middle instead of the corners…I wanted to see if it gives the same results as to starting from the corners…We’ll see what the end results are when I’m done…Wish me luck!!! 😁

I went back to work on the earring holder and completed one earring holder so far after having them sitting on the back burner for couple months! I like how this one turned out…

I wanted to share some tips I’ve learned on how to repair this particular piece! From the 1st - 4th photos it was the first time of the repair and the last photo is what happened after a few weeks…Here is two tips…First tip is do not use double sided tape…It’ll fall off as you can see in the last photo…The second tip is to use epoxy clear to mount the frames back onto the glass…Here is the product I had used J-B Weld Clear Weld High Strength Epoxy 8 oz to mount the wood frame to glass! This is a great and durable product to use with wood and glass together…I hope these two tips will help when doing a piece like this one…I sure enjoyed learning on how to repair this piece!!!😁
