25.01.2022 This simple hand finished, sustainably sourced, Tasmanian Blackwood just lets these gorgeous little woodcut prints by UK artist @mattunderwood_6 take centre stage. Simple, elegant and timeless. #framingfabulous #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframingbrisbane #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane #lovemyjob

23.01.2022 It had to be a beautiful bright orange hand finished frame for this abstract painting. My clients sent me this picture of it in its space and it looks perfect! #framingfabulous #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #handfinishedframes #customframingbrisbane #customframing

22.01.2022 A big double gilded frame, finished after many many days of toil! This one had a 12kt gold, heavily distressed water gild over black poliment on the slip, with a 23kt gold, fully burnished water gild, (lightly distressed on the tips over red poliment) as the outer frame. Made for an Ian Fairweather artwork. #framingfabulous #closedcornerframes #closedcornerframe #gilding #watergilding #brisbanegilding #gildingbrisbane #goldframes #framemaker #bespokeframing

21.01.2022 Here we go again... Due to our latest lockdown, we will be closed from 5pm today. Fingers crossed, We will re-open on Tuesday 6th April after the Easter break. Stay safe everyone..

20.01.2022 How amazing is this!? Some people are sooo clever!

18.01.2022 It may look like the original frame, but this one is a handmade replica of the frames that were traditionally found on Ray Crooks earlier works. They were all different, using textured gesso and colour to suit each painting. We’ve chosen the colours for this one in consultation with the Ipswich art gallery, where it will hang with others of the same era. #framingfabulous #framemaker #bespokeframes #customframing #customframingbrisbane #handmadeframes #handfinishedframes #raycrooke #ipswichartgallery #loveframes #lovemyjob

17.01.2022 We have framed these two beautiful antique water colours in one of our handcrafted collection. A lovely rounded ribbed profile with corner strap. Hand gilded and toned to suit the soft tones in the painting and the colour of the museum rag mat. The mat also has a small gold fillet tying the whole piece together. #framingfabulous #closedcornerframes #gildedframes #customframing #handcrafted #handcraftedframes #goldframes #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #custompictureframing #customframingbrisbane #artisanframes #bespokeframes #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane

17.01.2022 Oil Gilding this restoration in Dutch metal... #framingfabulous #gilding #dutchmetal #oilgilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #goldframe #pictureframerestoration #framerestoration #restoration #restorationbrisbane

16.01.2022 Lots of Empire frames lately! This one was completely re-finished in the traditional style, albeit with a little more finesse. The original finish had a clunky silver smudge on the base and rosette at the top. We’ve recreated the more delicate coloured flowerstyle. #framingfabulous #framerestoration #antiqueframerestoration #empireframe #restoration #restorationbrisbane #pictureframerestoration #traditionalfinishes #lovemyjob

15.01.2022 Finished handcrafted frame on this Ray Crooke painting. Full burnished 23kt water gilded outer frame with a off white slip, finished in a soft toner. Sensational!! #framingfabulous #watergilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #goldframe #gildedframe #closedcornerframes #framemaker #lovemyjob #raycrooke

15.01.2022 I forgot to take a before photo for these, so eager was I, to bring them back to life. The frames were missing several sections of the decorative moulding and sweeps, and had been painted over with thick gaudy gold paint. They’ve been stripped back, missing sections replaced and then re-gilded and toned to suit the artwork. The paintings are actually fired china paintings. Portraits of the owners of an English pottery business from the early 1800’s. The frames though are from later, probably late 1800’s or early 1900’s and Australian. They look much more elegant in their re-furbished frames. #framingfabulous #antiqueframerestoration #antiqueframes #framerestoration #restorationbrisbane #brisbaneframing #framingbrisbane #goldframes #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding

15.01.2022 Happy international Doggo’s day to all the puppies and puppy people out there! Small Lino print by me, Titled Where’s it gone?... a few still available. My puppies aren’t impressed. #framingfabulous #linoprint #handcolouredlinoprint #dacshund #dacshundart #internationaldogday

13.01.2022 First Compo (composition ornament) pressing in new space. So much easier when you have the right stuff! I’ve just purchased all the equipment and moulds from the Graham Reynolds collection Thankyou @ktandgr for your tutelage, faith and most of all friendship... This is a very exciting time for me and I hope I do you proud. #framingfabulous #composition #compositionornament #closedcornerframes #antiquereproductionframe #framemaker #bespokeframing #bespokeframes #lovemyjob #fun

13.01.2022 My clever daughter has been busy creating beautiful resin and hand beaded earrings. Very proud of her creativity. A new line for our little shop and just in time for Xmas. #framingfabulous #earrings #handmadeearrings #shoplocaltarragindi #resinearrings #beadedjewellery @violetzapel

13.01.2022 A simple hand finished Oak float frame, completes this Covid painting (as described by the artist) The simplicity allows the 2 parts of the artwork, to still be one with each other, whilst defining each one as individual. My client said the slow steady dotting of the artwork helped calm her, during this crazy time. #framingfabulous #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframing #customframingbrisbane #floatframe #handfinished #covidpainting #calming #whateverkeepsyousane

12.01.2022 New frame designs, handmade and exclusive to framing fabulous. In true frame nerd fashion I finished gilding these yesterday. Paua shell and Donkey ear with either neutral sides, 23kt gold or 12kt white gold! #framingfabulous #framemaker #gildedframes #brisbaneframing #framingbrisbane #custommade #custommadeframes #customdesign #pauashell #closedcornerframes #lovemyjob

12.01.2022 Another handmade Empire style frame, complete with domed glass. This one features a marbled green panel and gilded composition ornament. The photo was expertly restored and coloured by @damien.photoshop. I just love doing these... I’m such a frame nerd! #framingfabulous #empireframe #framemaker #handmadeframes #handmadepictureframe #bespokeframing #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframing #customframingbrisbane #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #lovemyjob

11.01.2022 Simply classic... Tasmanian Blackwood is such a delicious timber and allows this gorgeous little pen and wash sketch to remain centre stage. This little house sketch was done by Local artist Pete Lambie @choppychopkins Check him out I think these little artworks would make great gifts! #framingfabulous #customframing #customframingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #framingbrisbane #pictureframingbrisbane #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane #localartist #localart #tarragindicommunity

09.01.2022 Today’s job..... Gild this beastie! It has been a beast of a restoration. Fix a bit, another big falls off, but it’s finally ready. Prepared in yellow and red poliment then given a good shellacking for oil gilding. #framingfabulous #framerestoration #pictureframerestoration #antiqueframe #antiqueframerestoration #restoration #restorationbrisbane #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #traditionalframes

07.01.2022 Another family treasure bought back to life. This frame belonged to my clients mother, but had been water damaged and much of the decorative compo elements missing. Her family photos that were all different sizes and colours have been restored and re-coloured to suit the tone in the restored frame. Teamed with a velvet mat and museum glazing. She now has an heirloom to pass onto her daughter. #framingfabulous #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane #framerestoration #antiqueframe #antiqueframerestoration #pictureframerestoration #restoration #restorationbrisbane #lovemyjob #jobsatisfaction

07.01.2022 Finally completed the painstaking clean on this little early 19th century frame. It took two rounds of cleaning to get all the muck off, but their was a bright little jewel underneath and in very good condition. #framingfabulous #framerestoration #framerestorationbrisbane #antiqueframerestoration #antiqueframes #19thcenturyframes #lovemyjob #restorationbrisbane #restoration

06.01.2022 Exciting times.... starting work today on the extension for the new Compo area! Soooo many possibilities! #framing fabulous #compositionornament

06.01.2022 First finished frames using moulds from the Graham Reynolds collection, (that I’ve recently purchased.) This pretty little frame also has hand carved elements that compliment the corner. Hand gilded in Dutch metal and toned to suit the pre-matted artwork. Hand finished closed corner frames really do look so classy! #framingfabulous #framemaker #handmade #handmadeframe #closedcornerframes #gildedframe #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #compositionornament #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #traditionalframing

06.01.2022 Another gorgeous big indigenous Canvas. Stretched and framed in a simple black floater. When they’re bigger than you are, it can be quite a challenge on your own! #framingfabulous #floaterframe #canvasstretching #brisbaneframing #framingbrisbane #customframingbrisbane #canvasstretchingbrisbane #big #canvasframe

05.01.2022 Finally spraying gesso on this gorgeous late 19th Century mantle mirror... it’s been quite the puzzle and a little milestone to get it to this stage. 3 more coats, sanding, poliment, gilding and toning to go. #framingfabulous #antiqueframes #antiqueframerestoration #framerestoration #restoration #restorationbrisbane #gesso #workinprogress #conservationframing #conservationframingbrisbane

05.01.2022 Happy st Patrick’s day everyone! We added a little bit of luck to this frame. A clients st Patrick’s day gig poster. Hand painted closed corner and available in store, to be sure! #framingfabulous #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframingbrisbane #framedesign #closedcornerframes #handpaintedframe #stpatricksday #funframes

05.01.2022 A gorgeous Indigenous artwork spinifex floor by Louise Numina Napanangka. We have hand finished a simple oak float frame in a rich red ochre colour tying in with the artwork. My client had to get some specialist assistance to hang this one. #naidocweek #framingfabulous #indigenousart #louisenumina #floatframe #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframingbrisbane #handfinishedframes

02.01.2022 With no intact corners and a heavily flaking gild, this frame had seen better days. The most intact corner was completed by modeling and then cast to replace the other 3 missing corners. The whole frame has been stripped back, gesso’d, gilded and re-finished as it would have looked originally. The portrait is of Hans Wilhelm Von Holst painted in 1877. #framingfabulous #antiqueframe #antiqueframerestoration #framerestoration #pictureframerestoration #gildedframe #gilding #brisbanegilding #gildingbrisbane #compositionornament

01.01.2022 We built this lovely Art Deco style honors board for our local member @mark_bailey_mp. Handmade, aptly from Queensland maple, stained slightly deeper and toned to age and define the deco style detail. This was an out of the box one for us, but I’m so pleased with the design and product that we produced! #framingfabulous #honorsboard #honorsboardqueensland #qldmaple #handmade #framingbrisbane #brisbaneframing #customframing #customframingbrisbane #framemaker #framedesign

01.01.2022 Completed full repair and re-gild on this early 19th Century frame. It’s been re-joined, missing compo ornament replaced, missing segments of sand panelling filled, damaged areas filled and sanded, before being re-gilded in Dutch metal. A dark toner has been applied to age the frame to suit the painting. #framingfabulous #antiqueframe #antiqueframes #antiqueframerestoration #restoration #restorationbrisbane #pictureframerestoration #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #framerestoration

01.01.2022 Another completed partial restoration on this large oval frame. It was badly split and separating, being held together by a couple of u nails. The centre panel was flaking and worn..... It was stabilised and filled before being re-gesso’d in the panel and re-gilded. The new gilding coloured to match the existing finish. #framingfabulous #restoration #framerestoration #antiqueframerestoration #gilding #gildingbrisbane #brisbanegilding #antiqueframe #lovemyjob
