BH google custom made frames, there are a few companies that will custom make both frames and mounts to your specified dimensions, usually quite respectable in their pricing too. There is one company on the ebay forum that keeps getting recomended, but cannot remember their name, when i looked for the same idea a while ago there seemed no shortage of companies offering this service. goodluck and post a pick when its all done and dusted, the Mrs doesn't like the Hate prints so mine get to live a reclusive life until we get a new house.

Hi guys- time this thread gets revisited.

check out

www.eframe.co.uk

they have an extremely nifty custom frame designer. you could spend all day playing with this clever thing- it even gives a good quality picture of what your frame will look like and you can fiddle with different sizes and colours and mount combos

I have just ordered frames for some Obey prints that have been lying in tubes for ages and need to go on the wall. (yes all you Obey haters I've heard/read it before

6 black wooden frames (13mm wide cushion shaped black coloured picture frame moulding) with single mount (in black) - mount cut 20mm borders and conservation standard backing board with all fixtures and fittings (incl, of VAT and delivery) for £35 per frame. Not bad delivered and considering it is custom cut to fit the 457mm by 610mm prints.

I'm going to attempt framing the 6 prints myself and depending on the finish and quality will decide what to do with my others. reckon MrFrameMan needs to take care of SBFO, AFD and a few other 'one of a kinds' and gifts that will need float mounting etc.

pictures to follow- and any words from others who have used this site please share.

(I hope I did the right thing by ordering the mount opening to be 3mm smaller than the image??)

if you're not scared at having a go at framing, can i suggest hobbycraft!

i was passing by the one in Swindon last month and stopped off to see if they had an A1 frame and was gobsmacked by the choice in there! Loads of ready made frame choices (wood, metal), colours, sizes and designs. Plus you can buy all the other extras you need - acid free card, backing board, glass (inc non reflective), mount board etc

the website doesn't list their stock but if you get the chance, pop into one and have a look.

p.s. they didn't have a fookin A1 frame though!

Does anyone know of a good place to buy non-standard frames - I'm looking for a chunky black frame with a bit of character (if that makes sense :!

Thanks

This is a great site - spent hours there - sadly they dont ship out to Denmark.

Great advice Ben, thanks

Try www.eFrame.co.uk - huge range and you can upload your photo and see it framed online

These guys are second to none...

For anyone in Liverpool, I would highly recommend
'Dave Davies Picture Framing Service'
Parliament Business Park,
Commerce Way,
Liverpool 8

He has been doing all of mine for a couple of years now and he is a great guy. He knows his stuff and he takes the time to find out what you want.

And no, I'm not on commision, lol.

If you are based in the UK ? - I use www.cadremont.co.uk/shop - for mounts and frames and reportage overlays.
What I would do is get it framed and mounted . But make sure the mount is bevel cut and CHECK that the angle on the bevel is not too low. For example a 25degree bevel will put your print close to the glass - where as a 40 degree bevel will put it further away. The deeper the bevel the more focus it tends to give to your artwork.

If you buy a frame - then there should be a link to also order a single mount as well, give them a call if you get stuck - either Paul or Aaron are the ones I normally speak to.

the two framers in brooklyn who imo do quality work are:

frameitinbrooklyn.com on 3rd Ave 718 788 7404

and

San Art Framing on 7th Ave in Park Slope 718 857 0629 (talk to Rainer)

maybe give those two a try...good luck!

Edit: may also want to give Rae from Brooklynite a shout - I'm sure he'll have a good source for you....

Really good selection of sites here tbh.
Im looking for a good online site that sells deep/shadow box frames at a reasonable price, i.e. the frames that have a depth of 40+mm and sometimes dont come with glass.

Dave the Frame on 01253 737409 he is in the north so considerable cheaper and does a great job, been framing for me for years, knows how to respect art works.. very careful.. currently doing 2 Adam Neate, 1 Swoon and a Nick Walker for me.. check him out really nice guy

Hello all, first time post!

Just discovered this forum, saw it mentioned a few times on www.Expressobeans and thought I would check it out.

In regards to this thread, I thought that I could mention that I can supply all kinds of framing stuff (including tapes, cord, d-rings, framers points etc).

You can buy lengths of moulding to cut and join yourself, or if you didn't fancy cutting it up, you could go for a chop service so that you join the frame yourself. Alternatively, you could order a bespoke sized frame which I would make and send to you.

We can offer various glazing options from regular float glass to museum.

Another option, if you didn't want to frame a print yourself, is that you could send your artwork over and I would do the full job for you. I can create frame mock-ups in loads of different mount/frame combinations and email them to you so that you can see what your print would look like framed

There are 2500+ mouldings to choose from. Here is a link to the website, take a look around:

You could also have a look at the facebook page to see some pictures of previous framing jobs. You could also be our friend too which would be really lovely indeed!

Feel free to send me an email or PM, or give us a call if your feeling sociable and fancy a chat!

Hope that I haven't broken any forum rules or annoyed anyone with this post...

Cheers

James
