That looks fantastic.
I have a cap to frame and haven't ever done it before! How have you attached it? Have you put mount or foam board inside to keep the shape?

Re: guidance and advice
Welcome to the forum!
The layout of the items is OK but I'd put more space around it all, at least 3", to take the frame away from the action. Another general rule I have is to put at least twice the space around a group of images as there is between each .... and never less than 3"!

Re: guidance and advice
welcome to the forum - you have done an excellent job there!
I know how difficult belts and caps can be so a jolly good pat on the back.


when all is said and done - there is more said than done.
