“This is the most accurate copy of the Declaration of Independence ever made. It very closely follows the Library of Congress’s copy of the first printing, known as the Dunlap Broadside. The antique laid paper is made by hand and bears the beautiful J Honig & Zoonen crown and post horn watermark. We even used period appropriate fiber—flax and hemp. Then we re-made the type and set it, letter by letter, and space by space, to match the original. We carefully blended inks to get the beautiful black commonly used in the 1700s. Finally, we printed it by hand, one copy at a time. ”
- Tryst Press

We teamed up with Rob at @trystpressandpaper to frame absolutely gorgeous copies of the Declaration of Independence. We designed the cherry frame to be reminiscent of the Colonial American aesthetic, paired with museum rag matboard, 99% UV plexiglass, and a raised float mount.

If you are interested in purchasing either just the print, or the framed item, please visit Rob’s website at www.declaration250.shop.

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…”

It is our hope that we always remember this most beautiful of principles as we celebrate the 250th Independence Day. taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

Illustrator @mika_rane recently brought in a piece for an upcoming show at @ficegallery. It was perfect timing, as we have been floating an idea for a new frame design. The rounded lines and circles of the piece made it an instant fit for the design!

Our first attempt ended in failure. The clay coating we applied completely slid off into a mess. That meant we had to recut the frame, learn from our mistakes, and try again. Thankfully the second try turned out great. After polishing the clay to a shine, we applied paint to the scalloped area.

We added museum glass to protect the art, and the result is a unique frame fitted specially for its art! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

We’re excited to reintroduce our trusted frame supplier, Border and Square 🤍
We’ve been working with Kheng and his team for four years now, and their craftsmanship has truly made all the difference in the quality of our finished pieces. Every frame is handmade using locally sourced materials and is quality-checked multiple times to ensure it meets the highest standards.
With locations in both Georgia and Utah, our partnership has been seamless from start to finish.
For those near Atlanta - great news! Border and Square is opening up availability to book more clients. If you have any sentimental pieces in your home that need custom framing, this is your chance to work with an incredible team.
We couldn’t recommend them more highly. ✨ by @borderandsquare

It was a busy time for Border & Square last week as we worked on frames for two shows in Provo. One was a collection of tiny pieces by Aris Moore @tinyartshow, featuring hilarious yet slightly terrifying “humanimals” (my own term). Framed in a mix of walnut, ash, and maple.
The other show we framed is for @mika_rane in what is probably the best show of the year @thefindlab. Celebrating her Mexican heritage, Mika’s art is chock-full of life energy, humor, and the sublime. We paired her paintings with a cherry floater. Understated, yet full of warmth.
We loved the challenge both projects brought, and thanks to the magic wood elves (ie. the team), they all turned out gorgeous!
Both shows are up all month, so don’t miss them! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

Fun way to frame your Polaroids! We collaborated with the client and paired these Polaroids with bright green as the frame around them. The neutral tones of the photos make a great pair with colors.
Final touches like conservation materials and museum glass make sure these Polaroids stay protected for decades to come! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

Another yakisugi stunner! Our client, an avid collector of vintage movie posters, snagged this rare original release Jaws poster for an Italian cinema.

We rounded the corners to echo the “Los Squalo” font, and put red spacers to add that little bit of danger to the piece! Museum Optium plexiglass gives it a super clear, non-glare look.

Yakisugi is a traditional Japanese finish where the wood is charred, and then multiple coats of oil is applied. It’s a naturally textured finish, resistant to rot and insects. We think it’s one of the most gorgeous natural finishes! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

We were so honored to work on a celebratory gift for the completion of Lulubug’s Garden first season! Lulubug’s Garden is a show aimed at helping children recognize, understand, and respond to their emotions in a healthy way.

Produced locally in Provo, the team partners with the Huntsman Mental Health Foundation to create stories to help children with their emotional well-being.

Super nice people, a very well-produced show, and I believe they are doing such important work.
Highly recommended. Catch the show on YouTube! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

A map-loving client recently acquired these 16th century maps of the Middle East and Ilha Formosa (modern day Taiwan).

One of the maps was double-sided, and we designed the frame so the back is visible too.
We made the custom frames with walnut and a 22kt gilded face for a warm and simple, yet elevated look.
Conservation cotton-rag mats and museum glass finish off the protective qualities of this frame project.

It was such a joy working in these pieces and discovering how the world was seen back in time. taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare

A beautifully finished yakisugi frame for Wavetronix’s library in Springville, featuring a superbly detailed pen drawing of the building’s facade by @demilangart.

Carefully charred pine, finished with layers of oil and hand-polished to a slight sheen. We added a gilded lip to accentuate the gold areas in the drawing.

I went to their headquarters when it was still under construction. The finished space is so intentional and beautiful! taken in Border & Square by @borderandsquare
