Frame Your Favorite Sports Memory!

Growing up near Minneapolis, MN, I was able to witness two, improbable, World Series Championships by the Minnesota Twins.

​Here's a little shadowbox I put together with a couple things from the 1987 season.

I wasn't able to make it to Phish's recent, three-night, run on the Mexican Coast but I was able to frame a couple of the official show posters (and watching people dancing in the surf on the webcasts was pretty cool). 

The first one has three mats (top one is black suede) and a separate opening for the wristband while the second one has a similar mat scheme but a much more substantial frame (1.5" wide & 1.5" deep).

This sweet little drawing came into the shop last summer. Check out the photos below to see it progress from the original to the finished project.

Lots of great live music this summer. Here's a few posters I was privileged to frame.

I always enjoy framing things that have to do with my favorite band. Here's a limited edition poster and ticket stub from their fall tour opener at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene that recently came into the shop.

For this project I used two layers of Crescent Select conservation matboard–with a second opening for the ticket stub–and 99% UV blocking conservation glass to protect the items. The dark brown frame–one of our value mouldings–is 1 1/4" wide and 1" deep, and has a slight wood grain pattern.

Custom framing's a great way to showcase three dimensional objects. Here's a small shadowbox that I put together for Halloween/Day of the Dead featuring a bottle of Rogue Dead Guy Ale.

The silver skull frame from Direct Moulding nicely complimented the glow-in-the-dark bottle. The inner box was created from a piece of bright orange, suede covered, matboard.

Another fun music print that came into the shop recently. 

For this piece I used two layers of Crescent Select matboard, to reflect the colors in the print, along with a high-gloss, yellow frame from Roma Moulding®. Their Lavo Collection comes in a variety of fun profiles and colors, and really looks great on prints like this. 

The extra space on the bottom is to show the edition information and embossed seal on the print. 

Finished with Conservation Clear® glass which blocks 99% of harmful UV light to help minimize fading.

Photographed with reflective glazing installed and protective cardboard corners.

Two pieces we recently framed for Andy's exhibit at Belle Fiore Winery. His art will be featured through the month of July, with an artists reception on Friday, July 11 (5–8pm) and Saturday, July 12 (12-4pm).

Limited edition screen print, Once A Lizard, by David Welker. 

For this project I used two, solid-core, Ragmats from Crescent; a dark green for the bottom mat and a neutral tan for the top layer. These 100% cotton mats feature the same color throughout and are the top of the line as far as preservation goes.

The frame,  from Roma Moulding®,  is 1 inch wide with a scooped profile that draws your eye into the artwork. The natural stain mimics the trees in the print. 

This piece was finished with Museum Glass® for the ultimate in protection and clarity.
