First post here so be kind Just thought this job might interest some of you. We normally frame lifecasts of baby & adult hands & feet but we are often asked to frame other items as you'd expect.
Hope fully I've attached a photo of an anointing spoon I mounted for a christening this weekend as well as an image of our more usual work - baby casts
The feet are stuck onto the back mount with PVA glue or clear silicone.
The anointing spoon has a piece of black wire holding it just below the top dome & a small circle cut out of the back board at the very deepest part of the spoon means it 'sits' in the hole & doesn't swing about. All the support is coming from the wire though.
Anyone got any better ideas? Would be great to hear them! I felt the Mighty mount spoon holder look clumsy.
Looks Ok really - but what are the (window) mounts for?
Take them away, whilst keeping the glass size the same, and you can see more of the objects from the sides and also avoid some curiosity - you want to view/feel drawn to, that gap under the aperture - it's just wasted space and detracting IMHO.
If the window mount is also functional - e.g. hides the points holding the glass in place - there are other ways to do that.
Regarding the spoon - I think the background colour is right and i'd have left it at that - the title aperture would have been in that background and not pushed forward in a window mount - and if for any reason I'd've seen a need for a window mount - I'd have picked the same colour as the background, or close, and reversed the bevel/added a fillet.
Hi Roboframer - an interesting comment about the mounts. We do offer alternatives in the style you prefer - see the image below. Given the choice, most people opt for the mounted style - maybe we push them thay way I suppose.
Whilst on the topic - how do you secure glass into the frame in a mountless situation? We use generally use matching mount with foamboard behind to give enough depth - any other methods people could recommend?
