Click here for available lucite frames!!       We use lucite to create many different items.  It can be molded, or cut piece by piece, which are then assembled using a chemical glue solvent which will actually weld or melt the two plastic pieces together.  The fabricated lucite frames that we create are made using a thickness of lucite compatible with the size of the frame.  1/8" thick lucite is used to make frames up to about 12"x24", and 3/16" is used in sizes larger up to about 18"x30".  Anything done larger is made up with 1/4" thick sides and 3/16"thick  front and back.  All sizes can be made to custom order!

An economical method to creating lucite frames is to use a molded box frame and then attach a fitted lucite back to it.  These frames are approximately one inch in width and are made with either a 1/8" or 3/16" thickness back piece.  The thickness is dependent of the frame size.  Sizes available are 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20.  All of these styles come with acrylic sawtooth hangers for easy wall hanging.

The second type of lucite frame is custom made, using cut pieces of lucite to create a top, bottom, and four sides.  All of these are then solvent glued for strong chemically welded joints.  These lucite frames are by far the nicest presentation for butterflies, and should last many, many years.  Depending on size, there are several options for hanging methods.  When total frame weight allows for it, we use our clear sawtooth hangers for hanging.  Larger pieces might incorporate a method of cutting the back piece slightly oversized, then drilling hanging holes into the top overhang for easy hanging.  Shown are two 24x36x3" made with 3/16" lucite.  The two frames are mirror images of shape, using a male and female Atlas Moth as anchors, finishing up with a clearwing and a Graphium weiskei at the top of each.  These frames have 95 butterflies within them for under $1000!  Each would sell for $600.  We can work with you as far as the butterfly types wanted.  Click here for larger image.
