Re: Moving abroad sale!!!!
Good luck in Nova Scotia. Not quite at the end of the universe, but don't forget your towel and a packet of peanuts! And most importantly of all, DON'T PANIC!!!

Re: stupid question possibly
Hello! I've not used Econospace spacers, as I prefer to use either mountboard strips or a wood spacer. Looking at the blurb on Lion's website, the Econospace doobries come in either clear, white or black, to a depth of 1.5mm to 9.5mm. So, yes you will see them if you look sideways into the frame, bu...

Re: A question for the hand finishers...
Thanks peeps, that's all food for thought. I'm thinking maybe of somehow partitioning off one section to create a sanding area, but I like the idea of incorporating Geoff's suggestion of creating a table with a raised edge to create an area for the sawdust to fall into. I will also consider working ...

A question for the hand finishers...
I'm just wondering how much mess you make? :shock: No, I'm not being rude, but I'm just thinking about what I may have to consider in planning the new workshop. In my last workshop (read garage!), I didn't do a lot of hand finishing, so it wasn't too much of an issue, but with the new set-up I would...

Thanks for the extra info Pramsay, I'll add that to the memory banks, in case I ever need to frame a silk.

Re: Screen print on silk
That looks great Pramsay, seems to have worked really well. I like the idea of sewing the whole piece to a cotton backing, was the backing larger than the silk, or the same size? Also, did you take the wadding and hem up to the edge of the fabrics, or allow a a few inches to do the stretching?

Re: Looking for "aged white" cartridge paper
Now you've started something... I'm supposed to be getting the casserole on, and I've got all distracted looking at my favourite thing...paper! :D I possibly haven't found anything that would suit your needs, but I've found lots of deliciousness to add to my collection of...you guessed it, paper!

Re: Looking for "aged white" cartridge paper
Hi Mark Not sure if this is what you are after: Canson paper pack If not, it maybe worth having a look at what else Great Art offers in the way of paper sheets and sketch pads. If you are after larger sheets, or something more 'handmade', I seem to to remember that there were a number of paper mills...

Re: Framing Pastel artwork
Hi Shad Yes, the under mount is in addition to the backing board. Normally, the under mount is the bit that the picture is hinged to. The top mount(s) also hinges to the under mount, usually along the longest side (i.e. left hand edge for portrait, top edge for landscape). This makes a complete, und...

Hi Pramsay Have you tried Seawhite of Brighton? Along with a variety of art materials, they sell print display stands and plastic sleeves, primarily for schools and colleges, but also for retailers. [Seawhite] They do have a minimum order, but you maybe able to combine this with a few other bits for...

Re: Framing Pastel artwork
I agree with prospero, keep it away from the glass. Avoid using acrylic glazing, as the static charge can cause havoc with the pastel particles. Even with superior quality paper, you might like to consider creating a space between the drawing and the top mount. This means that any dust that does fal...

Can't say that I've noticed that as the norm here, perhaps it's just a renegade framer who's had a few too many lunchtime drinkies
