Frame Gallery In St. Petersburg Honors Fallen Soldiers With Shadow Box Frames To Contain American Flag, Medals Of Honor And Military Photographs
When people think of custom framing, they think of various style of art work; however at the Great Frame Up, a custom Frame Gallery, with three locations in the Florida area, they think that custom framing is more than a frame holding a photograph. The Great Frame Up believes that custom framing should help a photograph or memory by not distracting but accenting what it holds between its four “wooden slats”. They believe people should see the frame, however they should feel the photograph or memory the picture is trying to evoke.
In addition to photographs commemorating special moments in time such as a graduation, a baby’s christening, a wedding, a special anniversary or a child’s first dance recital, a St. Petersburg frame shop believes these memories and special moments could be preserved not only in photographs but also in the items worn by the participants. Frames called shadow boxes are deep style frames or boxes in which a wedding gown or a christening gown can be placed inside to be displayed like a photograph along with the smaller picture or other trinkets from that day and still be hung on the wall as a special memento for all to see.
Many military families use shadow box frames after their loved one has passed away to hold the American flag that was draped over their casket or another shadow box frame to hold their medals of honor along with photographs showing their loved one’s national pride. These shadow boxes held to honor the name of the fallen soldiers and keep their uniforms, metals and commemorative American flag clean and safe from dust while being able to display it for all who enter their former home.
A frame Gallery in St. Petersburg believes in honoring memories, no matter how big – like a wedding or a graduation ceremony, or how small – like baby’s first steps or first dance recital – in photographs and keepsakes all using custom frames that enhance whatever is placed within the size of the framing.
