“You really spent the time, energy, and more than anything it seemed like we really *listened* to each other as we bounced ideas around back and forth - it felt like riffing in a jam session. To see this painting my Grandpa Hank; the old farmer, did in the 1930s or 40s preserved and presented in the way you did is nothing short of breathtaking."

Through art we travel the world! Incredible art has the ability to transport us to far away places, evoke memories, and inspire us.

Our Junior Framer Levin, got to take a quick trip to Venice this morning, with this amazing oil painting on stretched canvas, framed in Gryphons Gold Moorish moulding.

Whether it's a treasured keepsake from a trip to far away places, or a photo taken of your hometown, we've got the just right moulding to bring you back to that special place in time.

It was just a regular Saturday at the shop, when all at once and out of the blue, a wonderful couple came in with a lovely needle art and two letters...

Little did I know, these letters would be perhaps one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to frame!

The needle art is also wonderful and lovely, but these letters, they really knocked my socks off, because they were written by a real live American Historic Figure; SUSAN B. ANTHONY, in 1892. If jaws could shatter when hitting the floor, mine would have been a goner.

Framing for something this historically relevant requires a little more care than just your garden variety glass and matting. This is not just any letter.

We opted to use period inspired moulding, in Larson Juhls Tusacany Dark Walnut Traditional, and cotton rag matting in Crescents Museum Rag Matting, in Desert Sand.

In order to mount these irreplaceable pieces, we used a mylar encapsulation and a rag mat backer, to ensure that no adhesive would ever come into contact with these pieces, and that there would be zero risk of an acidic paper causing these letters to become brittle or foxed.

These were such an amazing bit of history to have in our shop and I am always excited to see what treasures our friends and neighbors bring us. Thank you for trusting us to know exactly how to handle and care for these remarkable pieces. This was an experience to remember.

When you think about what you can do to preserve your irreplaceable documents and photos, you can feel safe trusting Colibri Art and Framing to do no harm and to present them at their very best!

What is an *Infinity Mirror*?

An infinity mirror makes use of a multi-reflective, or two way mirror and light and reflects the objects between the mirrors back and forth between them, infinitely. When the lights are turned on, the front mirror becomes transparent, and the flowers between them are reflected in an endless tunnel to infinity.

At colibri, we can create an infinity mirror to your specifications, using anything that you would like to have in your very own tunnel into another realm.

Round Canvas Stretching is a very fun thing, especially at large sizes. It might be hard to believe that I'm not being facetious when I say this, because until you spend some time with a canvas, it's hard to believe that stretching canvas is actually something that is so enjoyable.

When we're stretching canvas, there are a lot of considerations. Things like the weight, weave and material the canvas is made of will affect how we need to stretch it, as well as the medium the painting is done in, and how it is finished.

Round canvases are enjoyable because they need to be tucked and folded in the back, just so, and they look so amazing when they are done!

This piece is a round canvas stretch, in a custom frame by In Line Ovals at 48" Not only is the art beautiful, but the canvas quality was fabulous, and the frame is just perfect for the piece!

Did you know fabric wrapped liners for paintings on canvas can be any color you choose?

This adventurous Ganesha painting has many radiant, swirling teal and green shades, so we wanted to really bring them out with a pop of color that unified all of these different shades and extended the painting beyond its borders.

We're really loving the Sofia Gold Fillet, and this ornate, Larson-Juhls Biltmore Gold frame. The pairing of the frame and fillet with a brightly colored liner is both upscale, and joyful.

When we frame canvases, traditionally paper and cotton matting surrounding the piece as a border, is not used. Instead we use what is called a "liner."

A liner is a wood inner structure and an outer linen, velvet or other fabric covering.

Often these coverings are done in blacks velvets and unbleached canvas tones, however, why not find a fabulous fabric in a shade you love that extends your art beyond the canvas border?

Bring a little Zen to your space with this flowing sand art piece.

Sand Art in motion is so relaxing, and this round, hand gilded, In-Line-Ovals frame with twisted rope detail creates the perfect window to gaze through; as the grains of sand drifts downwards building layers and striation in a fantastical landscape. When it has finished, you can rotate the piece on it central mounting, and begin again, as many times as you would like.

WOW!!!

I am in love with this python skeleton mounting.

For this piece we have used an ornate frame with a scaled 'leaf' pattern; Larson Juhls Sofia Bronze, and a posh sueded mat in Crescents Bodeaux.

This piece is available for purchase in our showroom now that the framing is complete. Do come by and visit us and take a look!

We have framed this fabulous Ghost Cicada for our showroom, and it is available for gifting or display in your home!

Insect mounts are a fun way to bring a bit of the mystery of the natural world into your home.

The ghost cicada, also known as the milky cicada or white cicada, is a cicada species with a white body and milky white wings with hints of gold and turquoise. Its scientific name is Ayuthia spectabile.

It's colorful details are protected behind 99% UV protectant optium museum acrylic, and it is nestled in a Franks Framing Fabrics, padded, inner shadowbox inside the frame for extra protection. The white burl frame brings a delicate finish to this already one of a kind piece.

Cicadas are a symbol of re-birth, health, wealth and happiness. For many, cicadas have inspired art, music and theater.

This rare insect can be found in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and our showroom!

Join me as I unbox our last holiday surprise! We have been eagerly anticipating it's arrival - a python specimen from #duyngskeleton to be framed for display and sale in our showroom.

Next, we will select mouldings and get this beautiful natural specimen mounted to share.

I'll bet this would look amazing in your office.

WTF!?

That is to say, #WickedTackyFrames - or in this case, Fillets!

What is a Fillet you might be tempted to ask (or not.)

A Fillet is an additional strip of ornamental moulding that rests inside the frame or matting edge and gives a little extra design detail and customization to a frame.

By switching Fillets, one frame can dress up or dress down to match any mood or occasion. It accessorizes and styles the frame to show what is best about the art.

In our first image, we show many different Fillets with the same frame to give you an idea of how one simple frame can take on many different personalities.

Wicked Tacky Frames (Not actually tacky!) is one of our new arrivals, and we are so excited to share these vibrant colors and finishes with our frame family.

Check out a few of our favorite

For the holidays, we've gotten to frame some very fun snowmen from our favorite stitchers at #stitchedupneedleworks1 in Morgan Hill.

Both pieces are equally fabulous, but each one has a subtly different mood. One with whimsical blues and golds to accent the piece, and the other in bold reds and golds. Both have great winter wonderland vibes, but the different presentations bring out the different personalities and fun flair of each individual stitcher.

We love our stitchers, and if you're in town, stop by and visit Stitched Up Needlework, for all of your needle art needs!
