Re: Three in one
Nice job John. Reminds me of the front runner of my top newspaper headlines of all time - Daily Mirror when John Glenn returned to space at the age of 70 -

Re: Three in one
See page 3 and page 9 here http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j& ... NzgXL4Qn0Q But I have not passed the vertical sheet through the mounting board, both sheets wrap around the magazine and are stuck with DS tape to a board cut to the same size as the magazine and then that is stuck to the mounting board with PVA.

Re: Three in one
Nice one Robo, good choice of moulding.
Can I just ask, did you stitch the patches onto ribbon/cotton tape, and then feed that through slots in the mountboard?

Re: Three in one
No, they're sewn directly on to the mount board, not all the way around like they would be if sewn on to clothing but about every inch. I have a home-made 'needle-awl' that pre-pierces the holes.

Re: Three in one
Ah! Cheers Robo. Having sewn patches on bike jackets in the past (in my days as a roughtie-toughtie biker chick), I know that they can be a bit fiddly. Pre-punching the mountboard sounds like a good idea.

Re: Three in one
This really looks good! As someone new to framing it is great to see examples of peoples work especially when they demonstrate a particular style or method of framing. Having a link to the method from the example is even more amazing! If anyone found the time or has the inclination to demostrate further mounting/framing tecniques through examples of their work it would be gratefully recieved.
