Frame It!: Easy Framing Ideas & Techniques for Absolutely Anything

I am a custom framer myself, and even I got ideas for frame designs! The book is an extremely comprehensive guide for standard framing techniques, but what I really love are the more creative, non-standard techniques Tonia shows as well. A must for the crafter who wants to display her artwork, but who wants to "do-it-herself".

I am scared of power tools and anything that involves measuring, but Tonia shows easy and professional ways to frame art without having to take a wood shop class! Love this book and I am proud to have my art in it!

Tonia invites readers to enjoy framing with her, and I am so grateful! Framing can be intimidating, but she glides and guides us right past that with clear basic guidelines, classy projects, and her own very creative artwork. I had to do an art project to accompany an article for a major art magazine. Frame It! was my reference and inspired an idea - I am really happy with the results. This is a book I will USE in the studio... Read Full Review

After explaining that she views framing as "journaling for your walls," the author shows you unusual, unexpected, artsy ways to journal your life . . . on your walls!

I can't put this book down! Tonia Davenport's suggestions and ideas for framing are unique and easy to create by following her not-at- all-intimidating guidelines.
