Creative Picture Framing in Bonney Lake

When was the last time you visited the Frame Shop located in our store? We are very proud of our talented framing staff. They continue to inspire customers and staff with wonderful new framing. While often it is a beautiful custom picture frame, they also create stunning framed art pieces with ready-made frames in stock on the sales floor. This frame started as an basic black shadowbox frame. Evie painted the bright lines on the top and sides of the frame. She added the map to the background and sides of the frame and painted an inner fillet bright yellow. Next she cut black foamcore to fit the photos and ticket, adhered them all to the foamcore and attached all to the back of the frame using spacers to give the 3 dimensional shadowing.  She attached some special pins from the vacation and the frame was complete.

What a fun way to display travel photos and memorabilia.

All of our framing is done in house.  Your artwork, photos and heirlooms never leave our store.
Let us help you frame your artwork, photos, heirlooms, memorabilia and collectibles.

Summer Creativity With Watercolors

We would love to hear what your summer creative projects are. Feel free to share them with us on Facebook and our other social media channels.

I recently started working with watercolors again. I had not used them for a long time. I am finding that while difficult at first, practice will have me feeling confident again. The act of playing with them in my sketchbook has become very relaxing to me and my favorite thing to do on these warm Summer evenings. I take my sketchbook and watercolor paints outside to my patio and look around for inspiration. Sometimes it is a single leaf from the tree, and other times it can be the whole tree. Creating the leaf using only colored pencils gives the image a whole different feel. Combining the watercolors and colored pencil can be a great technique and is also something to play with.
