The Framers Forum

It's bittersweet, John. I'm only this sad because I was so blessed to be the one chosen to share her life.

Thank you dear friend for being there for us.

((((J))))

Hi all, Yes. Moglet is still going and thinking of you, but the universe is still throwing challenges my way. I miss you, and miss posting here, but plan to return when I have achieved some modicum of stability. I am sorry that my first post in so long is a sad one, but I just wanted to mark the pas...

Firstly, I would just like to express my heartfelt sorrow for all the people affected directly and indirectly by the horrific events that took place in Cumbria yesterday. In particular, if any forum members, or their friends or acquaintances have been affected, please PLEASE go and get a check-up wi...

Ta oodles for the info!

Wish I could post more on the Forum, but I've got very restricted access to BB at the moment.

Hi all, I'm a complete ignoramus when it comes to wireless connectivity on PC's. I'm hoping that the friend I am staying with is going to upgrade his BB connection from his current 1GB download limit so that I will be able to have better access to the internet, Skype and so forth. His PC is a Dell r...

Yep. With the nearest available pneumatic point gun!

Showoff!!!

On a serious note, I'm delighted to know that the hints were helpful (even if the stick idea is superfluous! ) and that you are pleased with the way that your pictures are now displayed.

HI Philip, So glad to hear you're enjoying your new C-rail system! :D It is very neat and unobtrusive to the eye, and so versatile and easy to use. I will string pictures as normal (unless they're just "showcase" items not for sale), and I usually put a second pair of D-rings - with the D ...

Hat's off to you, John. That has to be one of your best lines. Ever!

Excellent!

(Cool avatar btw, Mikey!)

Just sent you a PM, Piper.

That is so classy, John!



But then, we expect that of you!

I've not done it with a canvas, but sometimes I have framed ethnic art done on fabric. I stitch the piece to the undermount in a couple of places, instead of hinging it with tape.

LOL indeed, Trinity!



Brought me straight back to the trepidation I experienced when making my first frame without a safety net!

Thanks for posting the above, Dermot.

For the particular day that's in it, I found it both inspiring and comforting.

Blessings to you for sharing this story.

Hi all, I need to find a method of packing my heatpress for transport. I don't want it to be too bulky a solution. Primarily, I'm looking at strapping two "put-you-up" camp bed mattresses to cover over the diaphragm, and possibly some sort of rigid material (foamcore?) over the mattresses,...

Thanks for the PM.

Sorry for being such a numpty!

Hi,

Just in case you miss looking into the sales/wants subforum, I've mislaid your contact details (my apologies - it's a PTSD problem). Please can you look under Sales/Wants for further details (also posted as URGENT).

My sincere apologies for my brain malfunction.

Thanks.
