This is Max, the cheeky little pub dog from our local village pub.
He is always full of mischief and is very popular amongst us locals.

Looking forward to meeting one of our local artists this morning, Emma Newman, as she prepares for her latest exhibition. I have had the pleasure of framing a couple of her original artworks for local customers. You can see more of her work at https://www.emmanewmansportingart.uk/

Local Dorset artist Jenny Cuthbert kindly gave us permission to use this lovely wintery lino print scene for the cover of Beaminster at Christmas, a booklet promoting 'shop local' this Christmas. I was editor and a great project to be involved in.

I was recently given the opportunity to mount and frame this beautiful Indian silk beaded piece of artwork with its vibrant colours and swirls. My customer sent me these photos with the picture in situ as the centre piece of their newly decorate room. Sitting majestically against a soft grey wall and with the cushions, it brings some beautiful rich colour to the space.

This was a challenging piece both in size and in deciding the best way to hold it in position without any glass. It has been framed with a black canvas moulding with silver edge to highlight the silver bead-work within the artwork and blend with the other pictures in the room.

Album covers are pieces of art in themselves and often stimulate happy memories with the visuals as well as the music on vinyl. I frame these artworks of a bygone era so people can enjoy not just the cover image but by mounting the record on the back of the picture in a protective plastic sleeve, the music can still be accessed and played.

This is a series of 3 different covers of 'The King and I' recently framed for a customer and hung in their lounge, which is being decorated to match the colours in the album covers!

I've just finished framing this wonderful print by West End Actor and Artist Peter Hannah. I always find a black-core v-groove surround highlights black & white prints and photos and a scooped matt black moulding completes the image.

Peter has worked on creating a series of our favourite London West End theatres to remind us of the fabulous talent that performs behind these doors, bringing joy to thousands. Peter's prints can be acquired through Etsy and Christmas is coming so put one on your wish list! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PeterHannahArt?ref=l2-about-shopname

A bit of autumn 'spring cleaning' to remove all the spiders that made themselves at home over the summer!

Can't wait to be a part of this

As a young ambassador for SeeAbility, local dancer and Strictly fan, Isabella Moore, thought a live episode of Strictly would be a fabulous way of raising much needed funds for SeeAbility’s Children in Focus campaign.
