Shadowbox frames (Click here for more examples)

All of our shadowbox frames are black.  They vary in size from 5x7 to 12x36"   and are 1 1/4" deep.    We create our shadowboxes in several styles.  We offer our frames with either gold, wrapped, or neutral white edge mats.  The gold is available in several tones and can be done upon request with almost any frame.  Our wrapped mats come in various colors using marbleized Thai bamboo papers.  The color tones are green, teal, blue, and light orange.  With some of our larger styles, the butterflies used compliment the colors within the wrapped edge mats. 

Our newest designs take on a minimalistic modern look using a white edge mat along with a white background mat.  A single opening allows for the viewing of just the one butterfly within.

All of our shadowbox frames are made using acid free matboards, papers and tapes, as well as the different glues.  The 5x7's and 8x10 frames have easel backs attached to them for easy tabletop or shelf display, bu also have sawtooth hangers attached for wall hanging.  All the other frame sizes have either sawtooth hangers or wires attached for easy hanging.

Treasure frames

Most of our treasure frames are black, with a few maple thrown in for good measure.  They are 1 7/8" deep and have 12 equal sized compartments.  As with our shadowbox frames, these also have a bead of silicone squeezed along the inside

 glass edge to create a seal.  We generally prefer to use most of the showier butterflies for these, and have the flexibility to use 12 similar sized or assorted sized butterflies to fill it.  If assorted, some compartments would have 2 butterflies within.

Acrylic box frames

 Our acrylic frames are one piece molded, with an acrylic back piece attached.  They are approximately 1" deep, and of various sizes.  We attach butterflies to the inside with clear acrylic rods that are solvent glued to the back.  We finish the frames up by sealing them using the solvent glue to attach

back and front together.  On 18x24's, we use silicone glue to attach the two pieces, making for easier repairs if necessary.  All frames have one or two clear lucite sawtooth hangers solvent glued to the back, trying to hide them behind butterfly wings if possible.
