Todays framing job - 60th birthday celebation signature frame

Framing is something we do at Creative Casting all the time for our baby casting kits & whilst we do not advertise, we have a lot of customers who hear by word of mouth that we can custom mount & frame pretty much anything.

We have a great machine that cuts mounts in all shapes & sizes which gave us the ability to launch our range of name frames - see the website for details as they will be great Christmas gifts this year!

Another area we have moved into is Signature/Celebration frames & where all your guests sign your photo mount as a fun alternative to a guest book.

Shown here is one we did for a 60th birthday party & today we have started one for a 40th Halloween Party.
The lady had 'heard' of us & knew she would get something special & unique by coming to Creative Casting. She want a 'spooky' theme with 5 photos for her 60 or so guests to sign around. The finished frame will be almost 1m square!

Like the idea? Why not have a look at the Signature Frame we have on Amazon & if you want something a bit more personalised, give us a call :-)

Creative Casting on Facebook

What better than a wet weekend to make some headway into the many little projects you have thought about doing.

For some of you it may be decorating but not me! I prefer to sit & fiddle about on the Internet & here's the fruits of the last 24 hours labours:




A page for Creative Casting on my Facebook profile.





A lovely new shop on Amazon marketplace: Creativecastings Amazon shop

Need to keep at it I know but let me know what you think!

Olympic Athlete Castings continue with Chris Boardman MBE


Now some of our Olympic athletes are back in the UK, The National Lottery castings to promote the Go for Gold scratchcard were back on the Creative Casting agenda.

This week we visited the Manchester Velodrome to take casts of Chris Boardman, gold medal winner in the 1992 Olympics in the individual pursuit.

Chris was very laid back about having the casts done & commented on the amazing detail produced in the alginate mould. He did say it was a very weird feeling having your feet dunked in cold gloop though!

Chris has his own performance bike company: Boardman Bikes & one of his cycles was ridden to victory in the road race by Nicole Cooke in Beijing.
