About the author: Siskiyou Crest Abstracts – Single exposure photography by Zach EhlertI recently had the opportunity to show a large collection of my photography at the Rogue Valley Manor (October 2015). Since the manor isn’t really open to the public, I’m setting these pieces up in the frame shop and hosting an open house.Please join me Saturday November 14th from 4 – 6 pm. Wine & light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Transmission Interruptus […] Continue reading Open House/Art Show 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, an […] Continue reading Phishin’ Eugene 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. […] Continue reading Halloween Shadowbox 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 Lavo moulding collection brings old-world French design to its most modern edge. A fusion of traditional carvings enveloped in high glo […] Continue reading Jazz Fest 2014 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). […] Continue reading Artwork by Andy DeWeerdt 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 […] Continue reading We could swim it if we tried. . . I was honored to frame this front page article from our local newspaper, the Ashland Daily Tidings.Newspapers present some inherent problems as they’re not really designed to last. The paper is very thin and extremely acidic (prone to yellowing) so special care must be taken when framing something like this; done properly though, they can become a memento that will look great for years. The first step was a spritz of de-acidification spray to the paper. Each section was th […] Continue reading Poema This panoramic print was photographed at the University of Oregon’s Autzen Stadium on October 31st, 2009 by James Blakeway. The Ducks defeated USC in front of 59,592 fanes, the largest crowd to ever witness a football game in the State of Oregon. For this project I used two sheets of Crescent Select alpha cellulose conservation matboard. Crescent has designated mats from this line that coincide with the colors of major college and professional teams. The frame is 1 1/4″ wide […] Continue reading Autzen Stadium Panoramic Custom framing is a great way to commemorate events and display collectibles.Here’s a small piece I created out of a playbill and tickets from Ashland’s own Oregon Shakespeare Festival. These particular items are from shows I saw with my mom last summer on her annual visit.Using the design software with my computerized mat cutter, I created a separate opening for each item: the playbill and both tickets. Next, I adjusted the angle of the ticket windows, then merged them into a single openi […] Continue reading OSF Momento | |
