Forum Gallery?

I was wondering if it is possible to have a forum Gallery, were by complex frames, mounts/designs and art work can be shown and maybe an explanation of how it was achieved.

As a newbie to the framing world I seem to be down the middle with a typical frame and mount. I'm hoping this may aid the newer framers and give a liitle inspiration on what can be achieved.

Your thought please

Cheers
Drew

Hi Drew,

Have you had a browse through the Hints and Tips section of the forum?

Hi John,
Yeah I've looked through the Hints & Tips, and I do think this is great. I've seen some illustrations on "how not to do it"... but if you lack the "how to do it" part then it means little!

I was hoping to get the more experienced framers to put a gallery together to show off the imaginative work, and share their thought process. I do understand that some people may not want to share the "How I did this" part!

And maybe that's the reason why we have had no feedback from any of the Forum Members

Thanks John, I will battle on...

Drew

Well you can ask what you want but if you dont specify then where do we start. Do you want to know how to frame for example a football or rugby top or do you want to learn triple mount with a single slip or a space, you decide and I am sure it can be resolved.I have been framing for 10 years and have just about done it all from football caps to Buffy the vampire daggers. There`s a way and if you ask we can explain. [/url][/list][/list][/code][/quote][/u][/i][/b]

Well being new at this game... I can't really say what I would like to see posted. However as your experience spans over the years would you not have a better idea on what should be posted? A piece of work you’d like to share?

I do like the sound of the triple mount and slip.

I do appreciate your comments norymags.

With little activity on this string... maybe I should leave it alone. But I dare say if it took off.... many of the members would use the ideas that were shared.

Thanks
Drew
