We had a familiar face stop by the shop recently...and he wasn't here to pick out frames! 📸

Local photographer Pete Doherty stopped in to sign a couple of his beautiful photography prints that we had printed right here at Hoosier Highlander.

Once signed, they'll be framed and headed to the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center gift shop!

How cool is that?!

There's something really special about seeing local artists have their work displayed and available for people to take home. Especially when that artwork captures the beauty of the area we get to call home.

And we love that we get to play a small part in making it happen.

From printing the photographs to framing the finished pieces, it's always a pleasure working with Pete and helping bring his photography to life beyond the camera.

So if you're visiting the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center, be sure to check out the gift shop. You just might find the perfect piece of local artwork to bring home!

And remember...supporting local artists doesn't always mean buying an original painting. Photography is art, too! ❤️

When you own a frame shop, and you bring home a concert poster from your favorite band, you don't just throw a basic frame on it and call it a day. 😂🎸

At least not if you're Renee!

She knew the framing needed to be just as amazing as the artwork itself and she definitely had some fun with this one!

She started with a stacked frame. If you're not familiar with that term, it's exactly what it sounds like...two different frame mouldings stacked together to create one unique frame. In this case, she paired a rustic black frame with a gorgeous teal one.

But she wasn't finished yet!

See that little pop of yellow on the inside?

That's a custom-painted fillet!

A fillet (pronounced fill-it) is a small, decorative piece of moulding that can be added inside a frame or mat opening. It's one of those little details that can make a BIG difference in the finished design.

And because finding the perfect yellow wasn't enough, Renee painted it herself to get exactly the color she wanted.

Now, with all those colors happening in the poster AND the framing, she needed something to bring everything together without making it feel too busy.

Enter the simple black mat.

Sometimes the most understated part of a design is what makes everything else work. The black mat gives your eyes a little place to rest while allowing all those incredible colors to shine.

Black, teal, yellow, and one equally vibrant concert poster...and somehow it all works PERFECTLY together! 😍

It's so fun when we get the chance to be creative with our framing because there's so much more we can do than simply choose a frame off the wall.

And when one of our designers gets to combine their creativity with something they're personally passionate about, well...you get projects like THIS!

What band would YOU go all out for if you were framing one of their concert posters? 🎶❤️

Ohhhh, did we LOVE how this one turned out! 😍

We recently had the opportunity to frame this beautiful, painting, and while the artwork itself is absolutely stunning, can we take a moment to appreciate that FRAME?!

We chose a gorgeous Spark frame, and I don't think we could have found a more perfect combination.

The details in this frame are incredible, and we loved how beautifully they complemented the painting.

Seriously...ZOOM IN and take a closer look at that frame! 🔍

Sometimes a simple frame is exactly what a piece needs. Other times, the artwork calls for something with a little more personality, texture, and detail.

And this was definitely one of those times!

That's what makes custom framing so much fun. Finding that perfect combination where the artwork and frame just WORK together.

And when you find it, you know. ❤️

Every once in a while, a piece comes through our doors that makes us stop and say WOW! 😍 And this is definitely one of those pieces!

We have a customer who travels to Nepal and brings back some of the most incredible artwork and frames. And we're fortunate enough that he trusts us to bring the two together.

Now, when I say these pieces are intricate, I mean INTRICATE!

The frame itself is hand-carved, with an incredible amount of detail and craftsmanship. And the artwork? Hand-painted with just as much attention to detail.

It's amazing to think about the time, patience, and skill that went into creating each of them.

And while we love showing you the projects that come through our shop, I have to tell you...

This photo doesn't even BEGIN to do this piece justice!

There are so many tiny details that you really need to see in person to fully appreciate.

One of the things I love about custom framing is that we get to work with artwork from all over the world. We may be a little frame shop in Highland, Indiana, but some of the pieces that come through our doors have traveled thousands of miles to get here.

And there's something pretty special about being trusted to work with pieces like these.

We're honored that this customer continues to bring his treasures from Nepal to us, and we can't wait to see what he brings back next! ❤️

Have you ever brought home a piece of artwork from your travels? If so, where was it from? 🌎

What was your favorite game or toy growing up? And more importantly...do you still have it? ❤️

We recently had a customer bring in something that held a whole lot of childhood memories...but here's what made this project even sweeter.

It was his wife who brought it in for him. ❤️

Her husband had a collection of little metal hockey players from a vintage tabletop hockey game. You know the kind...where the players moved around the rink as you controlled them from the sides? Almost like foosball, but with hockey players!

She wanted to find a way to preserve and display the individual players.

And that's where we got to have a little fun! 🏒

We designed a miniature hockey rink, printed it right here in the shop, and mounted it onto matboard to create the perfect backdrop. Then we carefully attached the individual metal players and brought everything together in a shadow box.

The result? A little piece of his childhood, now transformed into something he can proudly display on the wall.

And I absolutely love the thought behind this.

His wife knew these little hockey players meant something to him. They weren't just old pieces from a game. They were reminders of something he loved growing up.

And instead of letting them sit tucked away in a box, she found a way to make those memories part of their home.

Sometimes the best gifts aren't new things...they're the things we've loved for years, given a new life. ❤️

It's also a great reminder that custom framing isn't just for photographs and artwork. Sometimes it's for the toys, games, and little pieces of your childhood that you just can't bring yourself to part with.

Now I'm curious...

What's one toy or game from your childhood that you wish you still had?

If we could have one superpower at Hoosier Highlander, I think it would be the ability to know which frame is perfect for every piece of artwork. 😂

Speaking of superpowers...

We recently framed this awesome piece of Superman artwork for a customer who is a HUGE Superman fan.

I love when someone is so passionate about something that they build an entire collection around it. Whether it's superheroes, music, sports, or something completely different, there's something really fun about seeing what people choose to surround themselves with.

We don't have to be Superman fans ourselves to appreciate how much this artwork means to the person bringing it in. Our job is to help make sure it looks fantastic alongside the rest of his collection.

No cape required. 😂

Now I'm curious...

If you could have ONE superpower, what would it be? 🦸‍♂️❤️💙

Sometimes you find a frame that looks like it was made specifically for the artwork. 😍

And this was definitely one of those times!

The gold tones in the frame complement the gold in the artwork so perfectly that it's almost hard to imagine the piece framed any other way.

And that's one of my favorite things about custom framing.

Sometimes we spend quite a bit of time exploring different combinations of frames and mats, trying to find just the right look.

And sometimes...you put a frame next to the artwork and immediately know you've found THE ONE. 😂

It's those little details that make such a big difference in the finished piece.

The frame doesn't have to steal the show. It just needs to make the artwork look its absolute best.

And I think this one does exactly that. ❤️

What do you think? Isn't this frame just perfect for those daisies?
