A Tall Tall Tree

​Here is a unique example of the interesting pieces that visit Creative Framing every day.  This highly detailed ink drawing of a tree was rendered delicately on a rolled up scroll of paper.  Our client was open to exploring more options than just a simple black frame and white mat.  We looked at several options but when the weathered silver beaded frame was pulled from the design wall, we immediately knew we had a clear winner.  The tone of the weathered patina really complimented the tone of the drawing. The bead pattern picked up so nicely on the leaves, too! 

​This close up shows you the fine hatching and line work that went into creating this wonderful drawing.  By floating it on a black background, we are really able to see the raw edge of the paper and also create a high contrast with which to view the line work.  We also decided to include risers to prevent crushing the paper down. This also allows the drawing to lift slightly and have a bit more "dimensionality".  Lastly, we chose Museum Glass which allows us to see all the fine detail without having to compete with glare.​
