Hi everyone, I am starting this blog separate from my USA storm chasing blog to keep everyone updated of my recent travels and exciting projects.
I will start off with a few photos from my frame making process. I spend many hours on each frame that is made, from cutting, gluing, tacking, sanding, staining, clear coat, getting the photos printed and glass cut, cutting the mats, assembling everything together and adding the final touches does take quite a bit of time. After all the blood sweat and tears the final product is worth all the fuss. I do have a fine attention to detail which usually makes the whole process much longer.
A reminder that all my images are available framed. Large 20"x15", Small 13 3/4"x10 1/4". Sorry about the small frame size dimensions, but I am recycling the inside of the large mats and making a mat for the smaller size frame and that's what it turned out to be! Actual approx photo sizes Large frame - 15"x10", Small Frame 10"x7".
Cutting the frames
10 Large and 4 Small frames cut exactly to size ready to be assembled.
