We often insist that the possibilities with custom framing are endless. This is an Edwardian music pouch brought to us by one of our clients in New Mexico. The client wanted us to use a specific silk fabric for the background and shadowbox walls. They sent us the fabric separately and we hand-wrapped a conservation board to give us the desired background effect. The frame is solid walnut and the package is protected with Optium Museum Acrylic by Tru Vue

We're still reminiscing about the amazing time we had attending Best of the Bay in July and having the honor of curating the Selfie Lounge Experience. We were thrilled to receive a personal thank you from San Francisco Magazine Publisher Autumn O'Keefe:

"Watching people discover the 25 Years of San Francisco Covers was so much fun. Every time I looked, people were pointing out their favorite covers, laughing, telling stories, remembering old Best of the Bay parties, and taking photos together. It became this incredible walk down memory lane that I don't think any of us could have imagined."

We put a lot of work into crafting an exceptional experience, and we're already looking forward to attending next year's event. Learn more about what Best of the Bay means to us: https://walteradamsframing.com/best-of-the-bay-2026-winner/
