New pics convince me the paper looks right. Can you confirm a real plate mark?
Bev, your work is exceptional and it is too bad that framing cuts into your profit. Some artists I have talked to tell me that matted prints are...
I buy art or cheap prints all the time for the frames. I don't hang anything I don't like and generally do not hang mass produced prints. There...
These were around here as late as the mid 80s. Remember using them to frame two large antique etchings and it was very reasonable. Went back to...
I like your thought process but have questions based on what I am seeing. Do you have an explantion for the white paper seen with your copy? I...
Actually, it is Hobby Lobby.
The above litho is the companion piece to this 20s drawing on the opposing wall. I framed this a few years ago but had it in mind when choosing...
Thanks for the confirmation that the prices I am seeing are in line. My mat was cut from the cut-out from a previous customer so maybe I was given...
Me too. It is ironic that you can buy original art so cheaply and the framing costs an arm and a leg. I bought the above litho directly from the...
I too have a penchant for black frames, though not exclusively. Black spray paint is your friend. I generally prefer a matte finish. In the...
Found a limited selection of millwork at the lumberyard that will work. Can also add a strip of wood to the back of flat mouldings to accept a...
A few years ago, I broke down and bought a point driver. Best purchase I have made in a long time. Uses both ridgid and flexible points. I like...
Did find some custom mat makers on ebay but prices are higher than I paid locally. This is particularly true with shipping added.
$300.00 for a small frame is robbery! Custom framing can get pricey. If you can use a standard ready-made frame, it will cut costs considerably....
Just recently framed this 80s print from contemporary artist Robert Filbey. Was a bit shocked by prices when I went to have a mat cut. The 18" x...
Any good wood glue is fine. Just be sure to clean off any old glue on the joined surfaces first (down to bare wood as much as possible). You will...
No harm in using vinegar on the inside. If there is any lingering mustiness, you may need to seal the wood with something. Oil varnishes are...
It is oak and likely English in origin. Secondary wood is also oak (Maybe with a bit of ash thrown in). Believe it to be a 19th century revival...
Has a bit of age to it but don't think it is as old as it purports to be.
I am inclined to say these are relatively modern rustic design imports.
