Creates unique framing for photos or anything that can be displayed on a wall or shelf.
The frames are created by a patented process and technique that is not duplicated anywhere else in the world. Frames are not limited as to size, shape, number of items within a frame or color.
Compared to the traditional methods of matting and framing my process weighs a very small fraction in comparison.
The only limitation is your imagination and wall space.
I also use my technique/process to create truly one-of-a-kind wall art.
The technique was "discovered", at least the basic premise, while helping a friend with some body work on his car. After years of experimentation and trial and error with different materials, I discovered aircraft foam and liquid vinyl (I was working for an international airline at the time).
The process requires considerable expense as a spray booth is required to comply with state and federal laws.
There are no limitations for the application of the process and have even customized a car's paint and body, created signs, made furniture, clocks, and other household items.
