Triple mats for a sophisticated look
We set this nature illustration in a gilded, gold-leaf, Roma frame made in Italy. Three mat layers draw the eye to the center: a linen mat with gold fillet, a second linen mat, and hand-marbled paper mounted on a paper mat for the final layer. …
Paisano Pete’s Portrait
We had the recent honor of framing renowned Abilene artist, Randy Bacon’s portrait of the original big bird. Fort Stockton’s “Paisano Pete,” well known to many, stands eleven feet tall — and we think Larson Juhl’s rustic frame really brings out the Pecos County aesthetic.
Shadowbox-style, top-mounted canvas
Fall holidays are often about feasting, so this silverware painting in fall colors seems timely. The work is top mounted, shadowbox style. Museum glass over the whole piece provides protection from UV rays and air pollutants while minimizing reflections and glare — and of course…
Shadowbox – and a Piece Of History
Shadowbox setting for an olive-drab matted photograph of Lieutenant-General, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. A section of a letter in his own handwriting is top/front mounted below the photo. Powell was a British Army officer, writer, and the founder and first Chief Scout of the world-wide Scout…
Fun, colorful frame for Winehouse portrait
We set this Amy Winehouse portrait in a playful, green frame (detail, below), matching and tying in to the use of green in the artwork, and to help the oranges and reds featured in the work really “pop.” Artwork by Liz Watson, Indie Doll Studio. …
Framed Soap!
Signed portrait of Young and the Restless actress, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman on the show) in a floral gold frame. Frame detail, below.

Black and gold provide the 90’s alt-rock vibe — when paired with the crimson back-drop in this signed group portrait of Wisconsin rock band, Garbage.
Gold Filigree Frame, Shadow-box style
We’ve floated this Jamie Ann Ratliff work, shadow-box style, in a gold filigree frame. The sea green mat ties it all together without upstaging the vibrant, tropical tones in the artwork. The piece is fitted with non-glare museum glass, ensuring clear viewing with minimal reflections…
Heart Frame for Hart Art!
A heart frame for “Eight of Hearts” artwork by Allison Mosshart. Mosshart, lead singer for Dead Weather, artist and fashion designer had her first solo New York art show in 2015. Detail shot, below.
Bespoke Beats All
Look no further than this piece to appreciate the nature of the bespoke experience of custom picture framing. Clearly, this is not the sort of picture frame you can buy off a retail shelf! A unique and elaborate frame surrounding a broad, textured linen mat,…
Nature Scene in Wood Frame
We love this florid, bold-colored nature scene. A wood frame with a slim, gilded internal border (detail below) — one that enhances but does not compete with the artwork — is just right. With highly detailed and visually complicated art, sometimes less-is-more applies to framing.
Peña Jersey, Mounted and Framed
Fastframe is Houston’s destination for custom sports memorabilia framing — because we frame it right the first time, every time. In addition to highly experienced framers, our framing materials and glues are acid-free, and our glass is 99% UV resistant. We’re experts at folding and…
Houston’s Art Framing Experts
For artwork that either runs completely to the edges of the material or has deckled or uneven edges — an on-mat mounting is a good solution. Mats generally sit on top of artwork, overlapping perhaps 1/4″, and help to keep the artwork in place. In…
Alvarez’s Big Blast
