Yay!! You know when you have been thinking about something for ages and then you finally do it! The…read moresatisfaction is all mine today as I picked up my pictures from the framing shop. I took one photo in Amsterdam in 2006 so yeah, it's been a while! I got it blown up as big as you can and framed in a dark thick wooden frame with a white boarder around the photo. The other was a photo taken in Bali that a photographer friend of mine gave me as a pressie. He won a competition with it so it is a pretty sweet black and white. Crisply framed and high quality. The glass is almost matte but makes the photo really pop. It is a humble little joint in Randwick that has fulfilled my long awaited plan. The lovely little lady was kind and gave me a discount so, don't forget to ask for one. I got the two of them for $300. *They also stock a lot of frames of local beach photos from Coogee and Maroubra

I knew that finding framing services in this creative inner-city suburb shouldn't be a problem, and sure enough, I soon discovered this shop walking from Erskineville Station. Tom, the owner, is a professional with years of experience and was helpful in regards to frame selection. He is very meticulous, preferring to take his time with the work rather than under deliver. With a variety of interesting works in for framing or repairs, it's impossible to get bored while you wait for the finished product. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of work and I was even able to pick up a card for my mum. It was worth seeing the look on her face when she opened her present. Thank you Tom!

While in Melbourne I bought an Indigenous artwork on canvas that I wanted to get framed, and back…read morehome I brought it to Tom on the recommendation of an artist friend who always goes to him. I had no idea about anything, but Tom suggested that instead of framing it as such I get it stretched(?) because (paraphrasing) Aboriginal art and "traditional" frames are kind of a strange marriage. I'm glad I followed his advice because it looks amazing on my wall (it seriously makes me so happy to see this painting every day) and his work was very reasonably priced. I told him there was no rush but even so it was ready in less than a week. It's probably a good idea to ring in advance because the hours aren't always true to what it says on the door (the advantage of working for yourself) plus if you need to get some guidance like I did you won't want to stop by when it's busy. A super nice guy who does quality work - I'd recommend this business to anyone.

If you don't want to get your poster framed, Acme suggests block mounting as a cost-effective answer. For photography, my favorite thing to do is face mounting.

What can I tell you they have all the usual suspects - paints, cardboard, stamps, stickers, pencils, felt etc and the prices seem ok.... neither cheap but not ridiculously expensive... The only thing I don't like about the store is the layout - long rows of goods - that feel either inspiring or creative.... I don't know why, but that turns me off a bit...
