Just varnished some of my paintings, and my PhD work too. Finally totally finished these drawings and paintings with their mixed media frames, no wood no glass even for pencil drawings, the artwork can't be separated from it's frame. I started to design mixed media frames as part of my paintings, so they can't be separated, in 2015, when I was doing my PhD practical work that was inspired by Islamic miniatures, after finishing my PhD in 2017 I started to make more frames for some my old paintings, and just finished them this year. So I have been working for five years now to experiment With different materials and to develop my techniques in making frames, and I still need to work more to achieve the perfect result that I want. Although I like this sort of frames for my own work, I'm not really sure if it will be the same for other artists, as it's time consuming and needs more materials to be finished well, so it is more expensive than other regular frames that they can buy easily from any frame maker. Hopefully I will take another step forward to make frames in a more faster and less expensive way, but for now I just want to celebrate this moment in this post, and may be with other posts later showing photos of the making process. #fineart #frames #fineartframes #fineartsframing #artframe #finearts #abstract #landscape #painting #drawing #art #botanicalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9d7-nwHx1y/?igshid=zv2dqevatyco

Let our craftspeople build a frame that protects your work of art, your family photograph or keepsake, your document or degree, for years to come. Here, some newly finished frames in our shop. #fineartframes #customframes #woodworking #woodshop #stemframes #maple #galleryframes #craftsmanship #artistsframes #esop #keepsakes #madeinLIC #madeinNYC #nycarts #handpainted #luxurygift (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjmaztF86z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h6e1h2mmw9r9

When we join our frames, we usually place anywhere between two and eight splines (or biscuits) into grooves cut at the frame's joints -- below the frame's face -- and use water-soluble glue to fix them to the frame. Then we saw off the excess wood and polish off any excess glue after the drying period. The splines are visible from the side of the finished frame, but not when looking directly at the front (face) of the frame. Yet sometimes an even stronger reinforcement is needed in joining. Tomorrow, we'll post about a different kind of spline we employ on occasion. #woodworking #joinery #splines #redbirch #customframes #barkframeworks #maple #splining #woodshop #craftmanship #customwoodwork #artistsframes #fineartframes (at Bark Frameworks)

A detail about sanding, continued from yesterday: before the process begins, LP checks the inner frame corners for any excess dried glue -- if found, he uses a blade or chisel (shown here) to remove it. A heavier grit sandpaper is also used to sand the corners/splines of the frame. #sanding #woodworking #customframes #floatframes #maple #barkframeworks #sandpaper #orbitalsander #grit #madeinnewyork #fineartframes #lic

We often design new profiles for works of art, and for mirrors. When one catches on, we name it. We named the profile shown here Blue Point, after the village on the shore of the Great South Bay. If you look closely, you'll see its clad in copper. The final step is to apply a dark patina and wax. We chose water-white glass (low iron) for the mirror, as it provides enhanced clarity.
