Re: working with thin mouldings

No I'd not be happy hanging a 50x70 piece from the backboard.

Re: Do you photograph your finished frames? If so, do you publish them?

What they all said! And yes the black mountboard is an excellent trick, I've used it a few times at an angle, I'll have to give the pinhole idea a go now. Feedback is essential in my view. If you do Insta, you get followed by loads of other framers as well. It's really encouraging when you get some ...

Re: working with thin mouldings

HI Jerome, can you recommend suitable hangers for an 8mm frame? I struggle to find any hangers for the vertical that don't show at the sides.

Re: working with thin mouldings

I only use the size of frame for small pieces with a sawtooth hanger at the top. It is really the weight of the glass that is the issue. I have had a number of skinny framed pieces in for reframing over the years. The issue being that as the bottom rail sags, it exposes the bottom of the glass and p...

Re: Hi from Atom Gallery

Hey Mark, just to keep you up with the industry. New mountboard standards are being introduced by the manufacturers through much consulting with the Fine Art Trade Guild over the last few years. The old standards were Cotton Museum, Conservation, White Core, Standard/Cream Core. The new levels are k...

Re: Sales Strategies

We don't have an equivalent dedicated to framing??? Art and Framing Today magazine published by the Fine Art Trade Guild or Larson Juhl Four Walls magazine?? I can't imagine that our industry here in the UK is large enough for a monthly magazine to even get off the ground. I'm sure that for someone ...

That's the point John. It's an incredibly cheap subscription, as you know. It's well worth signing up for it, if anyone is at all interested in what experts in the industry have to say.
I know I have shared pages of some books at times, breaking copyright, but honestly my drawing is so bad...

Sales Strategies

Great article in the September issue of Picture Framing Magazine written by Jared Davis MCPF GCF. Well worth a read if you're interested in Customer Service and the customer's experience at the design table.

Re: Keencut Ultimat Futura Advice

To state the obvious, have you double checked against a steel rule, just to be sure?
I wouldn't believe this if it hadn't happened to me on a brand new Fletcher panel cutter a few years ago...

Personally I like it as one long scroll through, or jump to page 6. I often scroll through to wake myself up, creatively speaking.

Re: THAT FRIDAY FEELING!

Happy Friday folks!
Here's one of those "just a plain black frame please" jobs. It doesn't have to be boring or cheap! I'm using rag mats more and more in my designs. It sets me apart from my competition and even with this simple double mount combo it elevates the piece.
