Oh dear what have I done.

PS Looks good.

I came to the conclusion some time ago that going conservation doesn't make that much difference to the overall cost. We used to stock a concervation board, alphamat, and a whitecore board - two ranges two set of colours with a lot of repeat colours. We now only stock the alphamat and have a bigger ...

T Shirt.

On the T shirt the logo was on the front and the tour dates on the back, so I cut it up! Don't like doing that sort of thing it goes against the grain, but the customer OK'd it as he had a draw full.They were then pinned over foamcore and mounted behind the windowmounts.

Thanks Robo, I really must get a CMC.

Costing Design. It can be tricky trying to sell these pieces but usually customers come in asking for something special. I try and get a feel for what they want, size, colour, style, conventional, crazy and how much they want to spend. We'll talk very generally about design, for complicated jobs and...

The V grooves were done by laying removeable magic tape along the lines where I wanted the groove. IMG_0440.jpg The grooves were then cut down the centre of the tape and painted, the magic tape acting as a mask to protect the surface of the board. As the centre was going to be covered it didn't matt...

Rolls Royce were going to call one model the Silver Mist, in German mist is pig s***.

I had a problem where an old photo had stuck to the glass in a frame. We ended up scanning it, through the glass, then a lot of touching up. The resulting print was probably better than the original had ever been. I'd scan and print it.

Mother!

Haven't you chaps got anything better to do?
I'm going to go and play with a cat.

Hi Perfection I've shown below a couple of examples I've done, using the method Jonny2morsos covered, where someone wants to see the actual program. My method is slightly different in that rather than cutting a hole in foamcore I use four strips of foamcore to make the 'box', the end result is the s...

Thanks for the summary stcstc, have fun.

David.

Was there any particular reason you went with the Gunnar, I'm looking at getting a CMC in the near future but there does not seem to be alot between them?

David.

Love the texture and how it radiates from the picture, like to actually see it not sure the photo does it justice.

Hi Martin I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic event, brilliant demonstrations and I picked up some good tips and was reminded of a couple that I had forgotten. The only problem I had was explaining to my daughter why she couldn't have £10 worth of smarties with the voucher. Many thanks D...

Good to have you on board, welcome.

I'm not fanatical but I am concerned. Luckily our local council is very good at recycling so all card and paper goes there, as does wood, metals, electrical items. They can even recycle plastics. I like the fact that companies like Arqadia place a high priority on managed, FSC sources, it's somethin...

If you like Deep Purple how about tribute band Ausi Pink Floyd. The job was for the guy centre bottom who was the sound and light engineer on their world tour.The centre logo and tour dates were from a T shirt, tour drum sticks with AAA passes on the right and a selection of photos along the bottom....

Hi FJ

This is not the future this is now.


We are the framing Jedi.

I'm with prospero as long as you are not affecting the value why not.
