The results here are wonderful.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Pictured are two works by Canberra design label Schmooks. Claire of Schmooks work is so delicate, playful and intricate, we chose to keep the frames consistent, in a creamy white box frame and to vary the matt colurs, so that each one was separate yet linked together as a whole.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">For the pink image we chose a dusty pink outer matt and a warm white inner matt, to tone with the pink in the image and help it to stand out. The other Schmooks print pictured has a background of blue and so we chose to leave the blue alone in the framing and selected very soft matts of warm white outer and salmon pink inner to keep the image soft. These works, although different in colour can now hang happily as a set, linked by their frames.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The other image pictured showed how a childs art can be absolutely elevated with clever framing! A striking child's art piece image in red and purple, was given a fun twist by choosing a red inner matt with a creamy white outer matt and then framing the piece in a funky purple frame- the resulting colour just sings!<br /><br />Buy Claire's work <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/schmooks">here</a><br /></span>Samitomotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02166998320448442265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987979956582642286.post-83106963764506502732010-08-16T19:26:00.005+10:002010-08-16T19:44:59.953+10:00Rarified Framing House welcomes you and your art!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL0zTLdtNndbDAuKTEdeUqAYRmN0VojQ6mRs2irMrtvLJxwsA9JRVpyAPYFZcJsXgAtZouuJ5ZMmJHNQC2SFmW_11JtWpESUmlBNMEiyo_U3YUaaXMJDS_wbLh85X8taUpOi6CyiwydYLV/s1600/August+14th+2010+hanging+system+with+mirrors.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL0zTLdtNndbDAuKTEdeUqAYRmN0VojQ6mRs2irMrtvLJxwsA9JRVpyAPYFZcJsXgAtZouuJ5ZMmJHNQC2SFmW_11JtWpESUmlBNMEiyo_U3YUaaXMJDS_wbLh85X8taUpOi6CyiwydYLV/s400/August+14th+2010+hanging+system+with+mirrors.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505937128098138242" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hello everyone!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Well the move from Dickson to Downer was epic, but it's now complete!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">We are now taking bookings for custom framing your beautiful art.

Buy unframed prints </span><a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://schmooks.etsy.com/">here</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">We asked Claire some questions about her lovely work;</span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: verdana;">What inspires you in your work? </b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">'Much of my inspiration comes from my little son. I find his innocence both enchanting and fascinating. I sit and watch him talk with his teddy bears and send rockets to the moon while in his imaginary play-land.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also think there is a deep connection between my work and the happy memories of my own childhood.'</span><br /><br /><br /><b style="font-family: verdana;">What does your work mean to you? </b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">'Sweet innocence. Playful curiosity. Inquisitive charm. A touch of mischief and light-hearted fun. Enchanting scenarios and endless adventure.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Each illustration has its own story, adding another layer to the work. It also provides the viewer with a more intimate connection to the work.'</span><br /><br /><br /><b style="font-family: verdana;">How long have you been making art, where do you want to take it in the future? </b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">'I have been illustrating all my life really. From a young age I was always encouraged to be creative and had a strong passion for art. About two years ago I was asked to illustrate a book, it wasn’t until then that I started to take illustrating seriously.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I began with cards, creating personalised gifts for friends and family. From this I developed a series of playful artworks, which are now part of my Schmooks collection.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Schmooks itself is a work in progress. I have been lucky enough to have several stores in Australia stock my work and I would like to extend this overseas at some point. I am looking at working on a series of childrens books in the near future as well as collaborating with a children’s author at the end of this year. The beginning of next year I am looking at exhibiting my work internationally.'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are looking for an original gift, or would like to support local talent, come and browse Claire's work framed at Rarified.</span><br /></span><style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana } </style><script src="http://127.0.0.1:37935/xpopup.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Samitomotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02166998320448442265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987979956582642286.post-24821265775092941172009-09-26T10:40:00.000+10:002009-09-26T10:49:21.912+10:00Wallstock Tintin 'Les Autos'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSuDN1qipuKUupH4yg7Boczq5aShLbB2C0uwj9fxNWmLNeeGWLCkUURxY23k0WaTzXZI38zm3Qk4fNWrg2PVDkNrv_yGh21K1HFe4Z6thJDfHv49QOEGZYKdf3NapgOb8yzSAUEybmv0V/s1600-h/September+25th+09+tintin+les+autos.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSuDN1qipuKUupH4yg7Boczq5aShLbB2C0uwj9fxNWmLNeeGWLCkUURxY23k0WaTzXZI38zm3Qk4fNWrg2PVDkNrv_yGh21K1HFe4Z6thJDfHv49QOEGZYKdf3NapgOb8yzSAUEybmv0V/s400/September+25th+09+tintin+les+autos.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385571571331392850" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">A very cute new Tintin print has arrived; 'Tintin Les Autos'.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;">Featuring Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock driving in a funky yellow car, framed in a simple black frame with white matt, this framed print is retailing for $300.

They are designed to make you laugh!! Or at least nod knowingly...<br /><br />This is just the start, we are working on a whole series of these, ultimately be published as a book. Any publishers out there?<br /><br />Buy them <a href="http://www.cazzam.etsy.com/">here</a> or at in-store at Rarified. If you wish to avoid the dismal $US exchange rate and conversion fees, then email me and we'll work out a direct deposit payment for you using $AUS.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />* If you disagree with our assessment of what things think, or in the rare case that your dog actually thinks about Proust and quantum physics, you can have your own custom designed print made. Just email me.<br /><br />Images copyright cazzam 2009<br /></span>Samitomotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02166998320448442265noreply@blogger.com0
