(2/2) Some details of the casein finish on the Espenscheid frame. Victor rubbed the lighter top layer of casein so that the darker lines of the base layer showed through, echoing the ink lines of the illustration (in the netting shown in the second image, for example). #illustration #milling #barkframeworks #woodshop #FramedbyBark #framedesign #paintcasein #handfinishing #artistsframes #artisans #design #customframes #nycframing #customframingnyc https://www.instagram.com/p/Chk5XlwlGHr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(1/2) Customization, illustrated: Our team of artisans can create finishes that work in dialogue with your art. Here, an ink and watercolor on paper by Gertrude Espenscheid we recently framed for a collector in Brooklyn. The client worked with designer Christine Heindl to select a frame design, matting, and glazing for the work. Together, the two chose a custom paint casein finish for the frame. Bark craftsman Victor Liz applied the finish by hand. The frame profile is a variation of our Morgan design (originally created for @themorganlibrary ); the matting is 100% cotton Rising Olde White; and the glazing is OP3. #customframing #BarkFrameworks #FramedbyBark #artistsframes #GertrudeEspenscheid #illustration #handfinishing #customcasein #artcollectors #paintcasein #galleryframes #fineartframing #craftsmanship #nycframers #customframing (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chk402ilI2X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(1/2) Two-in-one: Our designers can create almost any shape and finish to compliment your artwork. Here, two individual profiles were merged to create one dramatic frame design for an oil on canvas (artwork cannot be shown for privacy purposes). The frame, milled in soft maple, is gilded in 12kt white gold over red bole (clay) with a medium rub finish. #framedesign #woodworking #woodshop #BarkFrameworks #FramedbyBark #museumqualityframing #whitegold #gilding #oiloncanvas #burnishing #NYCartworld #customframes #nycframers #esop https://www.instagram.com/p/ChA4uBpFNE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(2/2) Some detail shots. The finish of the brass compliments the painting without distracting from it. #brass #customframes #pulpbrother #framedbyBark #woodshop #barkframeworks #metalshop #metalwork #nycframer #artistsframes #artcollectors #floatframe #craftsmanship #esop (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaqJ5moFzEh/?utm_medium=tumblr

(1/2) Hands-on: A client recently brought in an artwork -- "Hand" (2021) by the artist Pulp Brother -- to frame. The work was done in acrylic on a thin wood panel. After considering an array of options with designer Kate Truisi, a 1/8" brass frame with medium patina was selected for the frame. Since the artwork is on a panel, there was not enough material to drill in to attach it to the float frame -- so our Art Preservation technicians built a strainer, to which the art was wrap-hinged. This method of hinging allows the art to float in the frame. #pulpbrother #artistsframes #barkframeworks #customframes #framedbyBark #hand #painting #brassframes #metalframes #nycframer #contemporaryart #esop https://www.instagram.com/p/CaqJKjVlODK/?utm_medium=tumblr

(2/2) Our client was elated with the final framing of the Barbarella print, which now hangs in his space with other Bark-framed works.

(1/2) Living Color: Our designers can work with you to create almost any kind of frame you can imagine. Recently, a client came in with a drawing, which was in blue on cream paper. Our client worked with designer Kate Truisi to create a striking frame, based on a design we had originally created with artist James Siena (see design drawing). The frame is milled in maple, notched, and inlayed with colored SINTRA. #FramedbyBark #Woodworking #woodshop #woodwork #milling #sintra #worksonpaper #maple #BarkFrameworks #inlay #customframes #madeinNYC #madeinLIC #craftsmandship #framedesign (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTiLgHuldeO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last week we posted about the unique challenges of mounting an article of clothing (a professional bike suit), a project we enjoyed! Here, the bike suit in its new Bark frame. The suit is mounted on a black linen-covered Rising Black mat, and shimmed with 100% cotton rag board fillets. The frame is our polytech profile, sprayed in a black finish. The piece is glazed in OP3. #BarkFrameworks #customframing #FramedByBark #sportsmemorabilia #sports #polytech #olympics #mountmaking #matmaking #artpreservation #archivalframing #sewing #craftsmanship #sprayfinish #blackframe #madeinNYC (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7aPFJleel/?utm_medium=tumblr
