ArtiGras 2015

This was a super successful year for us at the art show. Last year was the first year that FanAddict Frames was a title sponsor and official framer for ArtiGras.

Our booth this year was markedly better looking. With the help of Pinterest, we thought it'd be cool to make the walls out of pallets. I think the outcome was awesome.

The Biggest Frame - to date

Every so often someone will ask me what the largest frame I've worked on is. That's an easy answer...

At ArtiGras last year, I met a man who was in the market for a framer. (yay) he was working on a tapestry for the JCC Mandel in Palm Beach Gardens. I was instantly intrigued. He told me it was a big tapestry.

I love a good challenge.

Youth Art Framed

Last year we had the honor of being the Official Framer for ArtiGras, a local art show. We are again and since we are gearing up to frame this year's Youth Art Contest winners, we thought it'd be fun to show you some of our favorite frames from last year's show.

Police Shadow Boxes and Gifts

We are a LEO family (Law Enforcement Officer). And we are so grateful to all of those men and women who serve in such a manner. It is our honor to frame things for LEO families and some local Police Departments.

Here are some of our recent creations: 

We made this for Daddy.

Graduation Frames and Diploma Frames

It's that time of year again. Loads of people are walking proudly across the stage to get that piece of paper that says you know something. And you want to display said piece of paper. What a better way than with a custom frame!

Framing Newspapers

The biggest problem with newspapers is that they are printed on the WORST paper. It's wildly acidic paper. That's where that yellowing comes from. Short of museum-archiving your clipping in a temperature, UV and Ph controlled space, your newspaper will yellow over time. There are steps that can be taken to slow down this process and protect your valued articles. But, you should be prepared for sticker-shock. This stuff doesn't come cheap.

This client came in with an assortment of amazing history. He had 2 newspapers that he wanted to frame for his daughter. Here's how they turned out:

Harleys and Cuba

This week, we are super proud to feature 2 awesome frames. One will be hung in a motorcycle shop in GA, the other will be on the wall at one of our favorite breakfast joints. 

The frame we did for A&D Cycles features a beautiful linen mat with a fillet that matches the outer frame. I can't wait for Andy to see it in person. We think the dark tones in the matting, moulding and fillet all work together to enhance the sepia tones of the antique photograph.

The color's a little off on this photo, but the moulding has a very classic shape. 

A close-up of the linen mat & fillet. 

 Next we move down to Cuba... Our friends at Hobos in NPB commissioned this beauty. I LOVE it! The floating license plate hovers over the Cuban waters. The driftwood moulding is the perfect compliment to both the subject of the frame and the restaurant it will be displayed in. If you're in the area, go check it out!

This is the 3" version of one of our most popular mouldings.

Kid's Chore Chart

If you have kiddos, I'm sure the idea, concept or conversation of a chore chart has come up. But where to start? What should it look like? How do you make one?

Let FanAddict Frames help you with that!

My daughter is almost 5 and let's just say, she REALLY tests my patience sometimes. And boy does she have a mind of her own! Woo.

Anyway, some of her friends from school were beginning to get "chore charts" at home. So the concept wasn't foreign to Rea. She and I discussed for about 2 weeks what we would put on her chart. Our's isn't so full of actual chores as it is just behaviors and things we want her to focus on.

Rea and I settled on 17 things for her chart. Next, I had to figure out how to make it. Naturally, I decided on a framed one... it seemed only logical.

I used our CMC9000 to print the list of chores on the green matboard. Then I made the chart and attached it to the board. We built a beautiful whitewashed barnyard frame for it. We mark the "chores" she has completed with a dry-erase marker.

Delray Pier, South Florida Fair and the Smokey Mountains

What do those have in common??

Well, FAF is proudly selling two amazing prints by two amazing local photographers!

It is our pleasure to introduce you to Jason of Jason Myers Photography and Lea of Lea Mayo Photography.
