Where do you get your framed pictures from?

Dont forget the charity shops get some crackers in

This thread has got me wondering which are my favourites - so many have lovely memories attached to them.DD asked me once to put a label on the back of each one with details of artist, where we bought it and what it meant to us for when she inherits ?

@suziewoozie. I do cross stitch and embroidery - usually large projects from Lanarte and similar. I frame them myself using Frames Direct online - similar set up, as you can upload a photo fo the finished work and choose frames and mounts. Have got quite good at framing now and find the Perspex much easier to work with than glass.

Yes Perspex so much easier. I just love playing around online - it’s amazing how mounts, frames ( design, colour, width) transform things isn’t it?! Thanks for the info’ will look at them when I find some more all ?

I only buy originals. They usually come framed

John Lewis have a good selection - a good excuse to go, now they’re open.

I love King and McGraw pictures. So many lovely ones to choose from and you can choose your frames and
mounts. I’m afraid I have bought 6 over the last few months. Unfortunately, like susiewoozie I am running out of walls!!!

The National Gallery of Scotland, in Edinburgh, sells good quality prints of the pictures in their collection. I have checked their website and they also sell them online. You choose your picture and the frame, and it is custom-made and sent to you. www.nationalgalleries.org/custom-prints

When I had a fair bit of work done on the house a few years ago, I decided to reframe many of my prints etc. I used a firm called Brampton and ordered custom made frames which came with mounts ( I do love a double mount) Perspex, backing card, hanging cord etc. You can upload a photo of your print and then try all different frames and mounts onscreen until you’ve found the combination you’re happy with. So now I buy unframed prints from a variety of sources and sort out the framing myself. The kits are very easy to put together. Sadly I have run out of wall ?

I bought a Lowry print "Coming from the Mill" from John Lewis 2 years ago. It is not a particularly large frame, I've just measured it 20" x 17", and it cost me about £80.00
If there was something that you liked in John Lewis, I know that you can get free postage for goods over £75.

Etsy. Support local artists. ?

I went to a local artist's studio/gallery the last time I bought a picture. They sell original oils and watercolours by local artists, and also have a large selection of prints.
I'm sorry that isn't really helpful.
I wouldn't know where to suggest you look Fanny.
