I’ve had a number of requests for framing options for my tiles over the years. It was surprising to me to see just how expensive custom framing can be. The prices I found ranged from $50 to $170. And these were supposedly sale prices. My local art store was able to offer me a $30.00 option, but it didn’t have the depth or width to adequately frame the tile. I realized for about the same price, I could offer a much better frame and design it specifically for my art tiles. I’ve been working on it for a couple of months and hope to offer it by the end of the year.
This is the prototype.
The finished product will be made of cast resin, available in various colors and finishes, starting with black and white.
This first offering will fit most of my standard square tiles. Those tiles are roughly 7.25” X 7.25”. Unfortunately, some of the tiles are a little larger or smaller and need to be resized and remolded to fit the frame. I am working on that now, as well.
