Conservative Framing

Another unusual frame for Kim Hoffmann:


Pussy Willow Ram

The frame is stained and shellaced basswood, made from waned and knotty boards. The top and bottom sections have been butt joined to add knots and wanes. When Kim commissions a frame, often the painting isn't finished, nor do we always have a frame "design" finished. This grew, like the wood, quite organically.
