Mission Arts and Crafts Frame with Tile Inset

Absolutely beautiful Max. It is a marvelous combination of gorgeous wood and exquisite tile work. I would love to have several of these hanging on my walls.

Thanks for sharing your excellent work. I’m sure it will spawn many more projects from the rest of us.

Beautiful job Max. The finish like nice on the red oak. Where do you get the tiles?

real nice – are the pegs flush to or proud of the surface? Did you design the frame?

Magnificent

jockmike2, Dorje and Deb, Thank you for the comments.

Deb, I really like your description of the “soft” curtains….

Dorje,
The pegs are flush with the surface, and the frame design is derived from putting about three different design elements from other frames together.

Very cool design. Thanks

Again – real nice!

Hi Max;

I just found this in Pulse. We could almost have a gallery of framed tiles between Max and Dan. I’ve never seen these before and I have to say I find them unique and interesting forms of art. Very well done.

Lee and Thomas,

Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy making these frames, as a matter of fact just finished 3 more. They are of a different style. Still the Mission Arts and Crafts look. Styled after some of Dan’s frames which I really like.

I love your work. You are obviously an artist.

Hi Max,

You posted this long before I came on board but I am glad that it came up in my review list. I am glad that I did not miss this one. I have a particular fondness for picture frames and this one is simply gorgeous. the walnut pegs add eye catching detail to the frame.

I assume that you ended up making two more copies to put the other tiles in as well?

Very nice design and it shows a true artistic touch as well.

Thanks for the enlightening post. It has given me some ideas to consider when I make my frames.

Scott,

Thank you so much for the compliment. I did make 4 of these frames total so far and sold all of them. I need to make more…...
