Remember the days of popping down the high street with your roll of film to put into the shop for printing? They’d take the negatives, give you a packet of all the photos you had on a spool with the negatives inside it if you wanted more copies. This was way back before the memory card era.
The type of wood a picture frame is constructed with effects how strong it is, the frames durability and resistance to scratching and denting. The wood type you select for your photos to be showcased in should be considered before you buy a frame.
Think about how you intend to use the frame or your traditional habits with the frames you already have. Do you rearrange your frames a few times per year, or have you already settled on a display you love and just want to freshen the look of your rooms with an updated frame moulding?
Whether it’s a gift for lovers or a sweet collage frame put together subtly for your son/daughter to know the reasons you love them, you can create your own personalised collage frame that tells your closest loved ones all the reasons you adore them.
As the new year rolls around, plenty of resolutions will be made, only to be broke. The ones that are easier to stick with are the fun ones. This is a fun project you’ll be able to stick to throughout 2019 and by the year-end, have a collection of stunning photos, all neatly organised in a photo journal, ready to pick your best and put together your ultimate storyboard of potentially your best year ever.
The Festive season is upon us, Christmas trees are up, tinsel around the house, fairy lights, snow globes, Santa ornaments and candy canes all make for the traditional festive season, as do many novelty sprays, stickers and wall murals.
Tis the season to be jolly… until you find yourself running out of memory from failed snaps with nothing but blurriness instead of the magical lighting that’s everywhere.
The Christmas lights are lighting up the high streets, shop fronts are glowing in fairy lights, your own living room has, or will have, its gloriously lit Christmas tree, maybe some fairy lights around the mirrors, and colourful decorations abound.
Decoratively swept ornate picture frames have a lot more detail than standard wood frames or aluminium frames. The swept detail around the frame mouldings can detract from the art you put inside the frame instead of complimenting the piece, but it can work given the right considerations.
It’s all about the colour and the size of the photo you’re framing.
The Colours that are Best suited for Ornate Swept Picture Frames
Take a nail in one hand, hammer in the other, then hit the nail into the wall – that’s the easy way to hang your frame. It’s not quite as simple to keep it hung sturdily and straight.
Using hanging wire, you can find the frame slips leaving it lop-sided. If the nail or screw moves, chances are, you’ll have a lot of holes left to fill on your wall. And if you are taking a hammer to nail, you better make sure your thumbs are out the way, while nailing that nail precisely where your fingers are holding it.
Art is everywhere. It surrounds us in nature with beautiful treelines, rich colours across the skylines, various patterns and plenty of spaces. It just takes a camera and someone with a knack for capturing the art around us in a single snap of a camera that can then be framed and displayed where you can see it daily.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a dedicated space to house all your pictures neatly together without it looking a cluttered mess? The solution can be simpler than you may have imagined.
Remember the ladders of yesteryear, which were just planks of wood cut to size, then nailed together to form a set of ladders? That’s today’s modern display unit. They’re used as plant stands, for photo displays, showcasing ornamental collections or a combination of each, with enough room for a bowl of Pot Pourri too. What’s not to love?
