FRAME OF THE YEAR Contest

Bring you unique frame projects to Country Arts Gallery and you may be selected as Frame of the Month.  The Frame of the Month winners will have their project on display for one week at Country Arts Gallery and possibly published on our web sight (right here) and/or in our seasonal "Country Arts Newsletter".   Then at our annual open house in October all Frame of the Month winners will be on display and voted on by the customers for FRAME OF THE YEAR  and will be awarded a gift certificate towards a future frame project.

Here is one of our past winners of FRAME OF THE YEAR

                                        

A customer frame project.   It was a Chinese f her and her fiancée.  She said when her fiancée  took her out to dinner.  When she opened her cookie she found a "proposal of marriage".   She wanted us to frame it to be on display at their wedding. 

We built her a shadow box with a gold oriental frame.   In the photo they were dressed mainly in black and red, and the fortune cookies' cover had red printing.  

We selected to mat the menu and photo and cookie in black suede but because the cookie was so deep we had to make a little box for it.  Out of the cookie and over the edge of the mat comes the note saying "Will you marry me!"  This is then all surrounded by a red suede mat creatively cut in the oriental style.     

A newly wed brought us this challenge.  She wanted to preserve all she could from her wedding to display on the wall.  We have two photos framed, the programs her gloves, jewelry, garter, rice bag and coin.
