What do you give a carpenter for Christmas?

When a client found a bunch of old rulers, she wanted to have her husband "the carpenter" make this frame.  There was only one problem, she wanted to give the frame to him for a Christmas gift.

She called me and asked if I could turn a bunch of old rulers into a frame?  I told her to bring them to me and I would give it a try.  After talking to her about her ideas, and giving her a few of my own, I began to work on the challenge ahead of me.

I looked them over to decide
 where they would be best located within the frame. Then I started cutting and glueing.

I used rulers as fillets in the mat openings.

I used rulers for the inside walls.

One thing that I found fun as I worked on this was that the rulers were from places here in the Denver area.   As you can see, I put a ruler with "Denver Colo." along the top rail on the frame (see below).
Another thing I found fun was the phone numbers.  Notice the Spruce-9828 (bottom rail).  Anyone remember having phone numbers like that?

Finished with photos installed!

I sure hope this "measured" up to his standards, being a carpenter and all.  Whew!!!

Ginger Lecher's Art will be coming down January 7th.

We had a great turn out and many sales of her collection of works by herself and artists she admired.
It has been a great privilege having the gallery filled with her works the past few months as well as the times she showed in the past, and sadly we have to take them down.   They will be replace by new works by June Davis, Cindy Haase, and Virginia Unseld.

If you have not had a chance to come in now is the time to:  As we still have many of works on display.

THANK YOU GINGER, for giving us all such great memories, through your art.

These are a couple of her works that were bought the night of the show
and framed later with lovely framing to complement the masterful work of Ginger.

This one has sold!!
Sunflowers by Kathy Berls.



Just a few of the many works sold!!

Thank you!!! 

Another frame repair for Edward Curtis Gold tones:

Photo was taken after I got started on the refinish,
as you can see by looking at the upper right,
this frame came in a very shinny cooper and very bright
corners.

Photographer Edward Curtis used this style of frame for framing his photo's.
Mostly his Gold Tones.  This frame had been refinished and changed from the look that he used.
My customer wanted it brought back to it's original look.

This is in progress:   After applying a mud I mixed up and
applying color to it, I then began toning down those
extra shinny corners.

This is the finished frame.

Now this frame looks like the others, he so famously
used on his photo's

Ginger Lecher's Art

We have installed Ginger Lecher's Art and it looks wonderful.  Ginger will be greatly missed by everyone how knew and loved her, a very sweet, talented and Dear Lady!!

As per the wishes of her bother, the proceeds on all sales will go to The Raymond Wentz Foundation.
This is a great organization dedicated to helping Cancer Patients and their families with the costs related to Cancer and other basic needs:  (They give unrestricted grants to cancer patients struggling to meet basic daily needs – a roof over their heads, food on the table, and heat in the winter. They are the only organization in Colorado that gives unrestricted grants directly to needy cancer patients).
For more information on The foundation visit http://www.raymondwentz.org

There will also be more information and someone present from the foundation at this event on Saturday Evening.

The prices on all of the pieces in her private collection of other artist, are figured on the art only,  no extra cost for the framing will be included.
Our desire is to get the art sold, so it can be enjoyed by all of us who knew her, and anyone who loves art, and finds that special piece that touches their heart and wishes to have it in their home.

We have her work on the wall and various places around the gallery,
this work includes some quick studies and unfinished pieces
from the collection of work she did through out the years.
