Ballpoint Pen Art in Marbled Frame
At Fastframe Houston, we believe every piece of art tells a story—and the right frame makes it unforgettable. Our expert team works closely with you to craft custom framing solutions that elevate and protect your cherished pieces. Just take a look at these stunning examples:…
Simple Beauty: Wood Picture Frames
This western-themed piece is set in a frame by Studio moulding (from their D’orme collection of burl veneers). The classic, concave frame profile emphasizes room shadow and light, adding perceived depth. See more projects set in wood picture frames here.
Horses and Leather Go Together
This original painting is framed simply in a Larson Juhl Black Angus frame with a distressed leather look, so very apropos of the subject matter. See more custom framed paintings here.
Custom framed Celtic Illustration
A beautiful example of how black and white or gray-scale art can be enhanced for display through custom framing. The rich hardwood tones of a Nurre Caxton frame with interior gilding — paired with a deep red mat stack — give this Celtic-themed piece great…
Dog Days of Summer Picture Framing
We love this painting of “man’s best friend.” Check our more of our ‘customer showcase’ — some of our favorite works we’ve framed for clients here. —
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…
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,…
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…
Paper & Fabric Framing: Circular Wall Art
This woven-paper artwork (“circulo de papel”) is a show-stopper — but also poses design and practical challenges when framing for display. Evoking techniques from the Oaxacan people of ancient Mexico, the delicate weaving is partially see-through — so the mat upon which it is mounted…
Charcoal in Custom Picture Frame
A customer recently brought us this beautiful charcoal portrait, done by a relative of the customer a century or more ago. We’re the perfect choice for framing valuable and irreplaceable art; our professional picture framers routinely handle critical-quality projects, and of course, we are bonded…
Color-Matched Picture Frames
This project shows how important color hue and saturation are in the picture framing process. The rich tones of this painting are brought to life — and the frame setting itself is incorporated into the work — via appropriately matched, stacked frames, a feat enabled…
Shadowboxes Perfect For Mixed Media
Sometimes we’re brought mixed-media, including textures (such as butterflies, in the pictured work of art) or thick objects that result in anything but a “flat” piece of art. Customers are concerned that the work can’t be properly framed, but nothing could be further from the…
Custom Picture Framing: Multi-Frames
One of the benefits of custom framing is design flexibility! In this case, a set of three, different sized panels are transformed into a single artwork frame setting. The results are an eye-arresting, museum-like visual setting that can transform the decorative feel of an entire…
Framed Blue Dogs – George Rodrigue
George Rodrigue is famous for his extensive series of hip, adorable “blue dog” works featuring — you guessed it — blue dogs. At FASTFRAME, we’ve framed quite a few of these pieces, and the vibrant colors open up a broad range of creative framing choices…
