Thank you everyone.

The painting was originally attached with double sided tape - it wasn't hinged. That was why I Reid doing more of the same but obviously with tape that definitely wasn't up to the job!

There have been some great suggestions which I will try!

Good morning! I have been asked to fix my friend's picture because the painting had become detached within its floating frame (I was not the original framer). I took it apart & used more double-sided sticky tape to re-attach it but within a week it had detached again. As you may be able to see f...

That's really interesting, thanks. I am used to painting unfinished wood - I hadn't actually thought of that option!

Good morning everyone, I have been asked to frame a pair of baby shoes (max height 5.5cm) but am finding it difficult to find a box frame moulding & spacer high enough to fit the shoes. I don't really want to have to make my own. It has to be white - preferably matt, but could do grainy. Also, w...

Thank you Tim H and Jo for your advice!

Prospero that is a very lovely frame! Thank you Vintage Frames for the recommended bits and pieces...I'm going onto Amazon now to look for the book & I'll take it from there. Ive been collecting all my off-cuts to practise on. You've all been most helpful, as ever. I'll come back to you if i nee...

Something like this, but silver and less 'distressed'...

I have patience and a steady hand, so hopefully it won't be as difficult as I'm thinking it might be! Practice, practice, practice, I suppose!

Thanks Prospero

Hi everyone, I am keen to learn how to gild my hand-finishes frames. What exactly do I need, equipment-wise? I am going to practise with Wessex's metal silver leaf, simply because I have an order to do with them. Is there anything else that I need that's vital to a good job?? Can anyone recommend an...

Thank you all so much for your replies...full of great tips and advice. I think I need to try different methods out on some scraps to see which result I like best. Prospero: is this the ripple paint you're talking about?... http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Colour-@-Home-Smooth-Ripple-Ceiling-Emulsion-...

Thanks for your reply BenHen. More layers makes sense, as does more sanding. I have heard mention of using tissue paper to mask the joins, but I'm not sure how that would work effectively. Perhaps I'm looking for the Holy Grail and all that's needed is more elbow grease! The white slip was the artis...
