Hi there,
I thought I’d show off the bespoke frame I made for one of my own paintings. It’s pretty simple - except for that fact there’s no backing and there’s LED strips built into the frame.
I hope you like
Thanks
Zac

Interesting.
I like the way you've hung it horizontally
So are the LEDs behind the window mount?

Re: Framing my own artwork
You're getting off to a flying start and you are already doing some less straight forward stuff, like tcreast. This is a lot like it was when I got started and it kept on going in much the same way. I've been doing plenty of unusual stuff ever since and it's brought me a long way, with a regular stream of unsual stuff along the way. Maybe it's going to be like that for you. If it carries on like this, it may be a bit of a learning curve, but it's also a good thing.
Don't be too worried about this if this is how it turns out. It's a good thing and as always there's plenty of help from the members of this forum.
Best wishes,
Mark.

Re: Framing my own artwork
That looks great! Can you explain what you mean by no backing?

Re: Framing my own artwork
Haha, not sure why it flipped round.
So it’s actually a painting onto glass. So I framed it, held it in pace with some spacers pinned to the frame and then installed LED strips behind. The background will be what every your wall is.
