This framing, printing and design business has been providing excellent craftsmanship to New Brighton for over 30 years.
One of the main services the team offer is preserving memories. It’s important not to forget how special photographs, objects and keepsakes might be to future generations. Preserving these memories in frames is a way to keep the stories alive, and they can look great on a wall or in a cabinet. Frame ‘n’ Copy owner Kathy Duncan offers some tips on saving and displaying your memories and keepsakes.
Thinking outside the box As well as photographs and art, you can frame meaningful and beautiful objects. Think dried wedding bouquets, war medals, album covers, feathers, letters, cards, rugby jerseys and postcards. We have even framed a piece of carpet with a picture of Queenstown woven into it, a child’s artwork, and we have a cricket bat coming in soon.
Incorporating stories into an object display You can write some notes to record the significance of the item. We will then attach the notes to the back of the piece so the story can stay with it. We can also incorporate text as part of the whole display.
Making the most of your memories Dust them off and bring them out for display – as well as capturing wonderful stories, they make great art! If you’ve kept it, it means something.
