Framed by Darlene 1995-2001

These were all framed by Darlene from 1995-2001 at The Art of Framing. This was a time before computerized mat cutters so all were done on a manual mat cutter. Also these photos were taken on a camera with film. It was a time when you wouldn’t know how good a photo you had of your work until you picked it up at the photo lab.

 

This was done by Darlene in the late 90’s at The Art of Framing before she sold. The customer has been to Africa and bought a Batik. This mat was cut manually(without computerized mat cutter). The pictures all around are of the safari they went on. The bottom mat was a cork finish that looked like an animal print.
This piece is memories from attending a World Cup soccer game in Phoenix Az.

I created this piece in the late 90’s at The Art of Framing. The mat was cut manually meaning without a computerized mat cutter. The soldier carried these photo’s of his sweetheart while he was serving in WWll. It also includes his military papers.
