Learning how to express myself

I had some bad experiences in school when we needed to di craft projects as I wasn't good at obeying the instructions precisely enough. It was really off-putting and even though I loved the idea of doing crafts I ended up putting aside my crafting urges for a while. Once I got a bit older I felt like I could go back and try crafting on my own terms without a grumpy teacher telling me off all the time! This blog is all about figuring out your own crafting style and trying different craft projects. I hope it's a source of inspiration for other people.

Learning how to express myself

Why use a custom picture framing company?

by Ethan Ray

There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of knowing that you have created your own work of art. Sitting on the sofa and enjoying the sight of a painting, photograph or a collage that you have created is an amazing experience. Your artwork will give you hours of pleasure and become a talking point for your guests for years to come. To preserve your artwork so that it can be displayed in that way, you will need to keep it in a frame.

Why use a picture frame?

A picture frame not only makes it easy to display your artwork, but it also helps to preserve it for many years. A frame will protect it from accidental damage and keep it safe from the curious fingers of children. The only problem that you may encounter is finding a suitable picture frame to display your art. If you have a standard-sized photograph then you probably won't have any difficulty finding a standard frame at your local store, but for anything else, you may need to consider custom picture framing.

What are the advantages of custom picture framing?

The right size - At the local store, you will find a range of frames, but whichever stores you go in, all the frames you find will be the same standard sizes, and if what you have created doesn't easily fit into those sizes, you could have a serious problem. If you stick to the picture frames you find on the shelves of your local stores, you must choose between using a frame that is too big or cutting a piece off of your masterpiece. Instead of picking one of these bad options, why not opt for custom picture framing so that you can select a frame that perfectly matches the size of your artwork?

The right style - One of the problems that you will quickly notice with standard picture frames is that they are all quite generic. It's rare that you will find a standard picture frame that ideally complements your art; often, you will have to settle for the closest approximation that you can find. If you choose custom picture framing, you can choose whatever colour or style of frame you want. A specialised framing company will be happy to find the most suitable frame material and mount and use them to build the perfect frame to display your art for the world to see.
