In Frame Studio

OK ok ok I've literally not posted on here for Months. Happy New Year! 😂 I can still say it as its the first post haha. It slowly creeps up that it's been a few days, then weeks, then it get so overwhelming to post anything. It becomes this big deal in my brain and so I just don't post anything and that big thing just keeps rolling down the hill getting bigger and bigger, BUT I've just come back from a really inspiring trip to Tangier in Morocco and I spent some time the last couple of days on this personal project for the studio and I'm READY to share 😂

These are Moroccan playing cards by the artist I bought at the .museum. Blue was my holiday colour and I loved seeing all the old weathered painted woods and some fantastic painted frames. I combined all these inspirations and made this frame. I LOVE IT. I've got loads more to share of frames I've made the last few months as I've been a busy lady but this is a good ice breaker.

I started with this yellow moulding from
And built layers of paints and stains. Sanded back parts, added some more design layers (my favourite bit) and finished with some clear wax. Artglass to finish off.

PHEWWWW. Here's to more passion projects, and heres to hoping you guys want me to make you some passion projects for you in 2026!

I recently framed this gorgeous print by Cheryl Maslen for a customer. I stained and oiled this walnut veneer and then gave it a little pop of colour on the inside edge.

I really think the wood tone works so well with the warmth of the image and the teal colour works really well with the colour palette.

Such a joy to look at the sunshine while it's so grim outside.
