What is TinyArt?
Archival fine art prints and bespoke professional framing, all from upcycled materials that would have entered the waste stream. Using printing and framing offcuts, we’ve created tiny works of art just for you. Every piece is unique and only the best materials are used to ensure your TinyArt lasts a lifetime.
Who is TinyArt?
TinyArt is a collaborative art project between artist Judi Lapsley Miller and framer Chris Helliwell from Edges Art + Framing.
Why is TinyArt?
Archival fine art paper, moldings, museum glass, acid-free mat boards - all are expensive and are too good to throw away. Judi's art is usually in square format, but printed on rectangular paper - she uses the bottoms to print tiny versions of her fine-art prints to the same standard as her larger prints. Chris hates to waste his high quality framing offcuts. Together they cooked up TinyArt to bring fine art into your home and to bring joy into your life. TinyArt makes a perfect gift for that special someone.
Latest TinyArt Pieces
TinyArt is currently out of stock direct through the website, but select pieces are available through many of my stockists, including Artel Gallery, Zealandia EcoSanctuary, Edges Art+Framing, and Kotare Art Studio. If there's a particular work you'd like to see as a TinyArt, just let me know.
Upcycling/Recycling/Repurposing/Reusing
We have done our very best to not use specially purchased materials in this project. The exception is for some of the framing hardware like the D-rings, hinging and framing tape, framing staples and points. The framing moldings, glass (Ultra Vue and Museum glass), mats, and backing boards are all new materials but are the offcuts that would typically go to waste. The decorative papers and embellishments come from Judi's large stash of arts and craft supplies that she's acquired over many years. Even the labeling is all handmade from decades of hoarded arts and craft supplies from three generations of Judi's family. The packaging is recyclable acid-free tissue and cardboard and/or reused bubble-wrap and other foraged packaging. Our philosophy is to use what we already have and give it a new life with you. All made with love and the very best care.
Donations
For most pictures, 10% of Judi's proceeds are donated to wildlife conservation organizations. See each individual TinyArt to see who you will help support with your purchase.
