Andover Gallery Frame Shop

Sometimes the most meaningful projects aren't about the objects. They're about the memories behind them.

For nearly two decades one father secretly saved ticket stubs from all games he attended with his son. Some became historic moments, but what mattered most was the time they spent together. We arranged the most memorable tickets into a timeline and paired them with the father's personal recollections of each game, creating a gift that celebrates not just sports history, but a lifetime of shared experiences. His son, now a military officer who travels the world teaching and mentoring soldiers, had no idea these memories would be waiting for him when he returned to visit.

Every once in a while, a framing project becomes something more than a display. This was one of them.

Our customer wanted to create a truly personal gift featuring handmade embossed envelope art and custom initials. The challenge was finding a way to showcase every detail without overwhelming the piece or leaving too much empty space.

By designing two opposing windows within the mat, we were able to create a balanced composition that feels both architectural and modern. The white linen matting isolates the deep blue artwork, drawing your eye immediately to the contrast of shapes and negative space. Displayed “on point,” the diamond orientation adds even more tension and symmetry to the design.

Today is Record Store Day, a day meant to bring together fans and lovers of music with their local record stores. Of course, we felt it was the perfect day to show off just a few of the many vinyl LPs, CDs and even concert posters we've framed over the years. We love working on them, so bring us some more!
