At Frame Today, every frame tells a story and 2025 was packed with incredible stories! From rare music posters and Indigenous artworks to Paralympic medals and heirloom embroidery, we had the privilege of preserving memories and transforming treasures into timeless displays.
Here’s a look back at 10 of our favourite custom framing projects from 2025 - each one unique, inspiring, and crafted with care.
1. Preserving Paralympic History: Troy Puttergill’s Medals
One of the most inspiring projects of the year came from our Warners Bay store, where we framed nine national swimming medals belonging to Australian Paralympian Troy Puttergill. Spanning from 1999 to 2012, these medals represent a remarkable sporting career.
We used museum-quality materials, a Moda Gold Foil Italian frame, layered acid-free matboards, and Tru Vue Premium Clear glass to ensure Troy’s achievements are preserved for generations. This frame isn’t just a display; it’s a celebration of resilience and excellence.
2. Indigenous Aboriginal Canvas Art by Miranda Hampson
We’ve been proud to frame the stunning works of Miranda Hampson, an Anaiwan Indigenous artist whose storytelling on canvas continues to captivate audiences. Her latest exhibition sold out, and we were honoured to stretch and frame her powerful pieces.
Custom framing for Indigenous art requires precision and respect for cultural significance. Our team used premium canvas stretching techniques and conservation-grade materials to protect these works while showcasing their vibrant beauty.
3. Ben Quilty Limited Edition Print
Ben Quilty, an internationally acclaimed artist and Archibald Prize winner, has produced a small number of limited edition prints, and one was entrusted to our Mittagong store to frame. We selected a Black with Gold Edinburgh frame, paired with a White Sale matboard and Tru Vue Ultra Vue glass for crystal-clear protection.
This project highlights how custom framing enhances and protects fine art, ensuring longevity and elegance for collectors.
4. Antarctic Expedition Map: Adventure Meets Art
This breathtaking map captured our customer Wayne’s journey to Antarctica, complete with hand-drawn wildlife illustrations by the crew. We gave this piece the royal treatment with a Gold Diablo frame, dark grey matboard, and clear acrylic glazing.
Framing travel memorabilia like this transforms personal adventures into timeless art.
5. Framing a Piece of Aussie Rock History
Music lovers rejoiced when we framed a rare Flowers (Icehouse) gig poster- a slice of Australian rock history. Using archival materials and a sleek frame design, we preserved this collectible for future generations.
6. Kindle Frame: Digital Meets Physical
One of our most unique projects was framing a Kindle device displaying digital artwork. This innovative approach combined technology and tradition, proving that custom framing isn’t limited to paper or canvas.
7. Cherished Heirloom Embroidery
Family heirlooms deserve special care, and framing this handcrafted embroidery was no exception. We used acid-free materials and a timeless frame design to protect this piece while honouring its sentimental value.
8. Transforming Tablecloths into Timeless Art
Turning a beloved tablecloth into framed wall art? Yes, we did that! This project shows how custom framing can breathe new life into everyday items, creating meaningful décor that lasts.
9. Solomon Islands Arrowheads
Framing cultural artifacts like these Solomon Islands arrowheads requires precision and respect. We designed a shadow box frame with conservation-grade materials to protect and display these historical treasures.
10. Pre-Federation Defence Force Collection
This collection of historical defence photographs from pre-Federation Australia was a true honour to frame. Using archival techniques, we preserved these rare images for future generations.

From art and memorabilia to heirlooms and artifacts, custom framing is about more than presentation - it’s about preservation, protection, and storytelling. At Frame Today, we use conservation-grade materials, reversible framing methods, and expert craftsmanship to ensure every piece lasts a lifetime.
