RayMar Framing on Stone

Welcome to our Web Site!

It's our pleasure to share with you our one of a kind, Unique Hand Crafted art on flagstone.  We are 1 of 2 in the country who offers this method of framing prints & photographs  on flagstone. 

This process was develpoed by Linda & Jack Krafft of Potter County, Pennsylvania several years ago.  You can view their website and see their upcoming shows at http://www.framingonstone.com/

The flagstone we use is a natural stone, quarried in eastern Pennyslvania.  Flagstone is commonly used for sidewalks & patios.  We special order several pallets of the stone to be 1/2" thick.  This allows for ease of handeling.

A large part of the hand crafting is

matching a print to a particular

stone texture to naturally give a

 diamensional look.

The print takes on a new life and character.  As illustrated

by the following print the clouds and land just seem to jump out.

Each stone is hand cut with a hammer

and a chisel to the size of the print or

photograph.  Corner's are knocked off

to give each framed piece  it's own

Unique character. It will always be a

One of a Kind framed piece of art.

A chemical catylist is applied to the print which allows us to then hand rub the print onto the flagstone.   This allow the texture of the stone to come through the print.

The edges of the stone are

hand painted to continue the

color and lines.  This gives a

finished professional presentation. 

The framed art is then sealed with a clear coat of polyurethane.  This also leand to ease of care.  Just use a damp soft cloth to dust.  

We offer a wall mount kit that allows you to correctly mount the stone to the wall.   We also offer easels in a variety of sizes to hold our mini  5"  X 6"  stones to our large 36" X  24" stones.
