Barbara's Picture Framing

Heather Brae, Leebotwood 01694 751 703
Barbara is a great lady who has helped me no end in getting my business up and running. She is wonderfully patient, I take hours and hours selecting mounts and frames to best show of my images not once has she ever hurried me along.

I find her work very reasonably priced and of an extremely high quality anyone who purchases my work is welcome to go along and see her. Barbara will willingly advise as to the way I might frame the image or if you wish even call me to come along and help you to frame your image in the best way for the artwork.

I am not a person that has ever chosen a uniform colour mount and frame and used this format for every image I shoot. I'm afraid I feel that can ruin an image for they are all special and require a special treatment so that each piece of work becomes a real limited edition work of art.

I can recall arguing till I was so mad at college with my tutor for having to mount an entire exhibition in 3 inch white and 1 inch black frames on 5x7 images they just look so bleak and lost on a white wall, stark, hospital lit, gallery all the life was killed in the images, since that day I have tried to always mount an image for that specific image. This brings out some amazing colours and framing situations.

However it also means that you will have a piece of art that no one else has for it has been framed and mounted exclusively for that image. Quite often I will change my mind and mount the same piece differently but equally as dramatically and with equal care and attention to detail.

Heather Brae is a collection of curio outlets Jane and Mary run an antiques and Laura Ashley style keepsakes antique shop, now there is a new edition of a tea room in a gypsy caravan right opposite David's hand made lovingly carved chess sets and beautiful wood turning crafts.

It is soooo very tempting indeed to spend money each time I go to get work done.
