Some very interesting picture frames

[Bill Burk]

I've seen some tasteful frames and some that would be just fine.

But here are some very interesting picture frames, that are so good it would make me wonder if my photographs were worthy of being shown in them...

But what picture wculd could stand such dominant frame?

Too distracting to be useful and for the cost I can do a whole lot better.

We have different tastes. To me, they're as ugly as the hind end of a hog.

Heh, years ago a judge at a local art show made a statement to the effect "the frame should be invisible." That is, it should not distract from the artwork. Of course, a few days later I saw an exhibit of work from the collection of a local museum that had an oil painting about 30 x 40 inches in a presumably original frame. The frame "moulding" was about 10 or 12 inches wide and covered with carving on top of carving -- and gilded -- different people and different eras had different ideas.

Why are you insulting hogs? What did they ever do to you?

I think a picture like this would fit...



Until now, I've never found a better frame for this one...

Those are really cool, but certainly of limited use. I think the picture-frame combination should be as one. Yours might work, Bill Burk, as would other tree and/or branch themes. I'll bet they're expensive - would think they're hand made. Thanks for sharing this.

The frame is the artwork. Interesting concept.
