Double layered but consists of three colour mounts.

Been waiting on a job like this as only recently done some additional training with Sarah Osborne of GUnnar

In avoiding anything being stuck to it i would determine my glass size then cut a thin aperture for the spine to sit in. Using fishing line, I'd stitch the book down (not stitching through the book) to hold everything in place. I saw the technique used in a castle in Scotland just outside of Aberdee...

Depending on size, and if you can get access to a Hotpress I'd drymount it to piece of mountboard. If you cut the board to the size required beforehand this leaves the excess loose and you can still give the appearance of a stretched canvas over a piece of moulding. I hate these things.

We usually talk the customer through various options. We offer 3 levels of stretch, budget, a fixed stretch (canvas stretcher moulding but pinned) and premier stretch (bars with wedges). Budget is usually a shallow moulding that we pop 3mm mdf in the back to prevent bowing. If (as in the case menion...
