Looking for a festive recipe for your New Year’s Eve dinner? Here’s one from none other than Alice Waters, as designed, calligraphed, and printed by David Lance Goines at his St. Hieronymous Press. “Cherries Jubilee” was created in 1970 as part of a folio the pair collaborated on and called “Thirty Recipes Suitable for Framing.” The collection’s title is catnip for this framer, so in the spirit of a picture frame’s celebratory purpose—not to mention the celebratory recipe and this celebratory time of year—I repeated Goines’s lovely cherry tree woodcut design on a flat 3/4″ wide walnut frame, outlining the pattern in black milk paint and then coloring it with red and green linseed oil paint.
To all, a very Happy New Year from Holton Studio Frame-Makers! 
Process—
In the process shot below, I’ve carved the pattern and painted it with black milk paint. On the left side, the excess paint has been sanded off and is ready for coloring with linseed oil paint. As you can see, the pattern as designed was shorter and high up on the side, close to the corner. On the actual frame in the process photo, I’ve moved it down. But I then realized that the pattern needed to be longer. So on the finished frame you can see that it goes to the corner and fades as the pattern blends into the uncarved top. 
Gorgeous!
