Tableau de bling
ARTICLE - 18 juin 2009
Marie-Andrée Guimont

Pièces d'art qui joignent le beau au fonctionnel, ces tableaux signés CatchFrames organisent le coffre à bijoux. Hilary Thomson, la créatrice, a d'abord mis la main sur de vieux cadres. Cherchant à les intégrer à son décor, elle leur a finalement trouvé une vocation: organiser ces colliers qui traînent, accrochés au miroir. Du coup, elle personnalisait sa déco. Et ce qui a fait que cet élan de créativité s'est rapidement transformé en occasion d'affaires, c'est que Hilary avait plus d'un cadre à retaper et que l'engouement face à la pièce fut révélateur de succès. Voilà maintenant deux ans que CatchFrames est un passe-temps pour cette professionnelle de la musique et passionnée des arts. Les pièces uniques sont peintes, cousues et teintes à la main et sont offertes avec ces petites épingles qui s'accrochent si bien. www.catchframes.etsy.com

NEW FRAME IDEAS

Here are some new Frame ideas I've been playing with...Collages!!! either hang the group of small catchframes together on the wall as is or collage it with a mirror, or random coat hooks, even a framed photograph could work. I think this looks rad. (and it's how i have my Catchframe displayed in my bedroom ;) enjoy!
