Swordplay at DBA

One of the most asked questions at Don Byram Art is, "Can you frame (add your item here)"?

DBA'er Anne walked in before Christmas with her version which was, "I have two Civil War era swords that I married with my husband. Can you frame them?"

We all looked at each other and confidently proclaimed....."OK".

Truthfully, Civil War swords are not items we deal with on a daily basis. But we didn't let Anne know that. We acted like we do swords everyday. Anne, bless her heart, had faith.

They turned out fabulous! Take a look at the finished product and judge for yourself.

Other interesting items we have recently framed are an autographed Reggie White football jersey (lots of jerseys in general), a pair of autographed Muhammad Ali boxing trunks, diplomas and class rings, an ad from Vogue magazine, several sets of needlework, an autographed picture of Harry Houdini, christening dresses, swimsuits, a Marilyn Monroe calendar(you know the one:)), towels, restaurant menus, and tons of Alex Chamber and Kevin Burchett prints!

So, to ask the question again,
"What do we frame?"

The short answer is, "Everything!"

As always,
Thanks for playing nicely,
Janice, VC, Donna, and Don

We have been running an "Alex Chambers Special" for a couple of months now. It has been so successful and so much fun, we have decided to rename it and continue to have fun with it. As VC says....."If it ain't broke...."

The "Deal"

Pick out any of Alex's prints we have in-stock (over 30) and receive it free when you frame it with us! It's that simple!! Alex's prints are approximately 11x14 and you still have time for Christmas gift giving to pick from our extensive in-stock moulding selection!

Alex's Bio

In 2001, Alex Chambers retired from a 33 year career in the Postal Service. Not ready to be retired, he took up crocheting and, with the urging of a cousin from England, took a watercolor course and fell in love with it. The Banks County, Georgia native loves to paint the landscapes, buildings, farms, and communities he grew up with and his folk style is perfect for the rugged history of the area. A red Cardinal was featured prominently in an early painting and now, through popular demand, lives in most of his paintings.
