World Cup Postcards
I framed a set of World Cup Postcards from 1930 to 2010, with a view to selling it at the Saltaire Craft Fair. I sold it quite quickly. A lady asked me if I could make one for her. Because the 1942 and 1946 world cups were not played, due obviously to the second world war, I had left a gap between the 1938 and 1950 postcards on the first frame. The lady asked if she could design a postcard for the 1942 and 1946 years. She designed the post card and I framed it with the others. I thought she did a good job and it gave the frame an impact. It shows a bayonet going through a football.
The frame isn't warped it is just my unprofessional photography.

Re: World Cup Postcards
Sounds like a great idea Nige. Any chance of a bigger picture?
Re: World Cup Postcards
Is it a printed sheet or individual postcards; if individual, how are they mounted?

Re: World Cup Postcards
They are individual postcards. I think the term maybe 'float mounted'. I cut 21 apertures out of the mountboard, 5mm smaller than the postcards on each side and taped the post cards (3 small strips per edge) to the cut out board. Each individual card was then sunk back into it's corresponding aperture and taped on the back to secure. The postcards differed in size to each other by a couple of mm, so it was difficult to have them all lined up exactly.

Re: World Cup Postcards
I'm not getting it, if the apertures are smaller than the postcards how can they be 'sunk' in to those apertures?Nige Hogg wrote: ..... I think the term maybe 'float mounted'.

Float mounting means mounting to see the edges of the paper/whatever.

Re: World Cup Postcards
The edges of the postcards are showing. I think he has been describing the hedgehog mounting method

Re: World Cup Postcards
Aha! So, the 'cut out board' would be the fallouts and then they are put back in to their apertures with the cards mounted to them.

Re: World Cup Postcards
Apologies for my lack of knowledge regarding terminology, but I live and learn.
I now know what the 'Hedgehog' technique is.
I should have described the cut out board as the 'fall out'
Was I correct in saying that it was float mounted'?

Re: World Cup Postcards
Yep to float mounted. If you can see the edges it's floated and if raised (on top of something like 5mm foamboard) it's called a pedestal mount. Nice job BTW
