Original designed frame by Sharra Frank for the mosaic artist. 

Custom made in Minnesota, USA from baltic birch plywood for indoor use.

Each frame starts from Sharra's hand drawn sketch and is transformed into a ready made frame, ready for your creativity. Fill in the inset space with vibrant mosaic patterns using china, tile, glass, beads and more using an adhesive of your choice. 

Benefits
Design has been prepared and is ready for the fun part! Just fill in with your favorite materials. It's like a coloring page for mosaic!

The raised edge of the frame create a custom fit, saving time and added framing expenses of the finished work.

The raised edge also holds the mosaic materials in place, allowing the artist to work much faster.

The edge also protects the edge of the finished mosaic after, as this is the most vulnerable place for tiles. 

Finishing
Leave the frame unfinished with a light clear sealant (Sharra prefers waterbased Minwax) or stain, paint or decoupage! 

Included
Frame comes with hanging hardware and a FREE Download of Sharra's list of recommended tools, adhesives and mosaic materials. 

FAQ

Do I need to seal the frame?
If you are keeping your mosaic inside, it is not necessary to seal the frame but it doesn't hurt. The wood can be sealed with Minwax Sealant or a mixture of Weldbond and water (1-4 parts). 

Do mosaic materials come with the frame? 
No, unless you are purchasing a kit.

Does the frame hang on the wall?
Yes, hanging hardware is included for each frame purchased. Exterior frames come with two different hardware systems, a hanger for wall display and two u-clips for a garden stake mounting (1/2" rebar).

Is the Exterior-Grade MDF really waterproof and safe for outside?
Yes! This is an exceptional MDF that my manufacture used in special custom signage in outdoor, tropical areas with torrential rains. This specific MDF has zero absorption and qualifies as an excellent exterior frame option.  

Can I create a mosaic with this frame and then sell the mosaic? 
Yes! Sharra's Shapes are intended to support working mosaic artists in creating original mosaics of their own to sell. 

Can I purchase Sharra's Shapes to use in mosaic classes:
Yes! You can use Sharra's Shapes as substrates for your own mosaic classes. 

Can I copy the frame(s) to cut my own substrate(s)?
No. Sharra's Shapes are copyright protected and that is illegal.
