Since designing my own line of paper, I have spent a considerably less amount of time on my favorite paper websites such as Paper Mojo and Paper Source. I used to be able to easily spend an hour searching through Paper Mojo's extensive selection of handmade decorative papers, dreaming up fantasy custom frames. I'd be able to spot out a new design on the paper racks at Paper Source in an instant. (Yes, I'm a little paper crazy.)
This past year, I had the pleasure of making several custom frames for some awesome clients of mine. I know that decorative picture frames aren't for everyone, but every now and then I will get a customer who LOVES them and those are my FAVORITES! These are the ones who will buy a new art print and immediately wonder what kind of crazy papers I could come up with to make that print shine. They kind of just give me a green light to go wander around my dream libraries and choose what I thought looked great.
So when one particular client told me she had just bought these four prints seen above from Chicago artist Ryan Kapp, and wanted ME to frame them, well that's a dream job right there!
