Custom Design Framing
These are just a few options, and the possibilites and options are endless. Bring in your own elements to put into the frame, such as pieces of nature, ornaments, fabrics, sentimentals, etc. Also if you have other ideas instead of traditional matboard, let's do it.
Ready-made Frames
This service is basically my range of frames which are ready to go. They are predominantly up-cycled frames (please see Before & After gallery to whitness their transformations!), little gems and diomonds in the rough which scrub up pretty good, revealing beautiful hidden treasures and revitalized character.
The range of frames which are ready to go are on the gallery page, subpage Ready-Made Frames.
All frames are all sold with regular 2mm clear float glass and MDF board backing. If other options are desired by the customer then extra charges may apply.
Basic Restorations
Basic restorations are also available, which includes:
- Replacing old decrepid matboards
- Replacing glass
- Basic cleaning of frames and assemblages with grime and dust.
- Upgrading to better quality and longer lasting fittings and materials
Assemblage & Fitting
Talking Wood offers a variety of options for assemblage and fitting. Customers can bring in their own framed works with need of re-fitting with new materials, or new items or artworks yet to be fitted to their new frame home.
Archival and conservation grade options are available.
