A FRAME CAN BE LIKE A SUPERIOR DETECTIVE, COME TO FORCE THE PICTURE TO CONFESS ITS REAL INTENTIONS, SAYING, AS DETECTIVES WILL: "COME OUT, COME OUT! YOU'RE SURROUNDED" Adam Gopnik

THE FRAMED ALBUM , the whole thing, not just the cover!




This is the ultimate baby boomer sentiment: THE VINYL RECORD AND THE ALBUM COVER! So many of us are still holding on to the very special ones that remind us of important times and events of our lives. Those times that will never, ever return. Like the vinyl records themselves....I mean, hey,-let's face it:even CD's will soon be obsolete!

Don't you just miss the excitement that you felt when you got to open that new album! To me it was almost a sacred ritual: there was a very special order how to remove the shrinkwrap and unfold the album notes, lyrics and photos! A close , personal moment with my idol; something tangible to have and to hold.

The customer who brought in this album gave it away as a 50Th birthday gift.
(Do you remember where you were when Dancing in the Dark came out?:))
Just for fun ask yourself : If I had a chance to decorate a music room and hang up the twelve most important albums to me...which ones would I choose? Go ahead, -claim your space!
This frame is designed to display and protect. The beauty is that THE ALBUM IS 100% REMOVABLE! You can take it out, play it, fondle it and then put it back on the wall. In the second picture you can see what the back of the frame looks like: by tilting the little turn buttons you can open the back and take out the cover. No glue or tape is attached to it. Conservation quality Tru Vue glass on the front of the frame will keep Bruce from fading away. A neat way to "eat your cake and keep it too."

Thanks to all for for great comments and encouragement. The interest has been overwhelming!

The blogs that I have in the works include artist Greg Hindle (teacher, painter extraordinaire) and photographers Rosemary Hasner (poet, mystic, storyteller) and Ron Pitts( wilderness man, observer by nature, phenomenalist). All superstars!

I will also be babbling about framing needle art and mapping out my adventures in the world of pigments. If there is an issue that you are interested in, please throw it my way and I'll see what I can shake out of it!

Meanwhile,
leaving you in a SOUND FRAME OF MIND,

Outi, the Frame Dame
