Frame Colour
Black (Artist’s Choice)
Why This Works
The artwork is set against a dark celestial sky. A Black frame acts as a natural extension of the space, creating a sleek, immersive look where the moon phases are the absolute focal point.
The Vibe (Bold & Celestial)
This provides a "Deep Sky" effect, perfect for a high-impact gallery feel.
Wood
Why This Works
Given the organic, rhythmic nature of the moon, a Natural Wood frame (like Oak) adds a layer of warmth and grounds the cosmic theme in the physical home.
The Vibe (Grounded & Ethereal)
Perfect for a balanced, "Boho-chic" or Scandinavian-inspired sanctuary.
White
Why This Works
A White frame creates a sharp, graphic contrast that highlights the bright white full moon at the start of the sequence. It makes the piece feel crisp and modern.
The Vibe (Contemporary & Graphic)
Ideal for bright, minimalist rooms that need a focused pop of colour.
Artist's Nudge
To truly experience the "Waning Into Red" narrative and the depth of the cosmic void, I highly recommend the Black frame. It allows the deep teal and crimson tones to glow with an uninterrupted, luminous intensity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the 'Emerging Into Light' print?
While 'Emerging Into Light' follows the moon as it returns to its full brightness, 'Waning Into Red' focuses on the descent—the beautiful transition from the bright full moon into the deep red of the total eclipse.
What causes the red colour?
This is known as Rayleigh scattering. Sunlight is bent by the Earth's atmosphere, filtering out blue light and leaving only the red rays to reach the moon.
Is the Teal background textured?
Yes. To add depth and a sense of "cosmic dust," the background features a subtle, painterly texture with fine star details, ensuring the piece feels like a work of art rather than a flat photograph.
Will the crimson tones stay vibrant?
Absolutely. We use a 12-colour Giclée process with pigment inks that are specifically rated to resist fading for over 75 years, ensuring your Blood Moon stays rich and deep.
Is the paper glare-resistant?
We use a premium 200gsm matte paper that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. This allows you to see the fine details of the lunar craters without any distracting sheen from nearby windows.
