Ribbon Cutting The Framer's Outlet
Mayor Tom Bates Cuts the Grand Opening Ribbon at
The Framer's Outlet on June 15th 
After years of planning and months of construction, we have finally opened our sister-store, The Framer's Outlet! The new shop is right next door to The Framer's Workshop, and houses our expanded ready-made frame collection. In the shop you will find more DIY work table space, more room to design your projects, and a much larger selection of fabulous ready made frames at budget prices. Future plans include a large format printing office where we can consult with you on photo restorations and printing projects.

See all four opening day albums on our Facebook page. Find yourself in a photo and we'll give you an extra 10% off your next framing project! Just come in and show us your picture!
Frame of the Month
A Very Special Birthday Gift

collage of rock album covers
A customer came to us with a unique gift idea. She wanted to frame copies of her husband's favorite rock-n-roll albums for his birthday. She provided us with the digital image files for each cover along with the proposed arrangement. We printed them slightly smaller than actual size, creating one large image that is 55" x 66". The size required special order, oversize UV acrylic. We framed the collage with a scoop shaped silver metal frame. See an enlargement and more examples of the many unusual works of art we've framed over the years on our Framing Examples page.

This 16 by 20 inch wedding portrait had been displayed
 without UV protection in a room with a lot of light. Over the years the blues and yellows were lost and the reds severely faded. Digital restoration brought the colors back!

Athletic Jersey Framing
Jersey with Basketball Netting   

Sports Jersey with Basketball Hoop Netting 


We framed this Omar Samhan basketball jersey with a custom designed double mat that includes openings for a photograph and a bumper sticker.  The matting is elevated to also allow for the jersey and a section of basketball hoop netting. The jersey and netting were hand sewn to the acid free mat backing and framed with a simple black wood frame.

Wexel "frameless" Art Frames offer a quick and easy way to display photographs, prints and drawings. The transparent acrylic floating panels use magnets to hold the artwork in place. They come in standard sizes but can be ordered to custom-fitto  the size you need. Look for them at The Framer's Outlet.
