Shine On

We have been working with Anglepoise lamps,
Claire Sambrook from the University of Portsmouth
and Strong Island as part of a collaborative creative show
called The Creating Balance Project.
These playful prints are based on Anglepoise lamps and our
love of the Great English Eccentric.
From hand drawn imagery and original photography
printed on vintage mathematic tables, century old dictionaries,
theatre pages and Shakesperian novels.

Dramatic Black Frames for Vintage Stag Art Prints


3 examples of framing in black.
Top one is Rebecca's from http://www.auntymabelsseat.com
using a stunning black vintage style frame on dramatic dark red card.

Second shows a simple, modern black frame, bought on the high street, mounting print straight onto black card. (As it's a book page it looks great mounted onto card rather than using a cut out mount)

Third is a beautiful original vintage 
frame, (sourced at a Vintage Fair) mounted onto grey card.

You can buy this print from the gorgeous Aunty Mabel's Seat in Knutsford or
