Andean Artists

Andean Artisans is a small Peruvian business created to help educate young people, while developing their skills and talents and assisting them with employment opportunities.

The wire used in the jewelry is called Alpaca, which uses low-grade silver, nickel, and other metals.  The wire can tarnish or darken, but can be easily restored to its brilliant shine with laundry detergent.

The earring hooks are silver plated; however, we can special order gold plated, pure silver,  or pure gold.  Contact us to request prices for special orders, or if you have any other questions at jmkreider@juno.com.

Photography

Photos can be framed individually or grouped and presented as gifts or as a way to honor cherished memories. Remember, treat photos like any other work of art by using conservation grade framing materials. To learn more about framing art on paper or to see examples, then click photography.

Needlework

The methods and products used to frame needle art vary depending on the type of needle work, such as counted cross-stitch, needlepoint, crewel embroidery, and machine embroidery.  Often some form of padding, such as quilt batting are required to accentuate the needlework and prevent unsightly bumps and lumps.   Nor is it uncommon to use a fabric covered liner to compliment the needlework.

Objects

Objects, such as a souvenir, memento, or heirloom, can open the gates design possibilities. Since objects can vary in size and depth, choose a frame moulding that is deep enough to contain the object. Here again, objects can be framed individually or grouped, such as a collections of rare keys and locks. To learn more about framing objects or to see examples, then click objects.
