Compo ornaments

Here is a selection of compo ornaments which I can supply. All the castings are hand pressed and cut from moulds of 'running patterns'. In order to utilise their elasticity, they are best used within a week or so of pressing.
Prices range from £3.00 per foot (001,011,012); £3.50 (002,003); £4.00 (004,005,006,010);£5.00 (007,008,009).
I hope these can be of some use and welcome any questions or comments.

Vintageframes, these are great!009 in particular is lovely. Do you happen to have photos of them used on frames? I'll be making some frames over xmas, so will no doubt order some early in the new year.

Grahamg,I hav'nt got any current photos as yet. They can be applied to some of the plain wood mouldings such as those from Rose and Holliss. You would rout out a track on the moulding first, gesso the moulding, and then glue on the compo ornament.

Hi Vintage Frames,
Excellent! A good range of older looking compo ornaments which will suit my own needs very well. I'll be in touch after the Christmas and post-Christmas rush is over to order some.

Aah! A router! I did wonder whether it was best to just plant them on, but that's given me something to think about. I've just got in some new, fairly plain Rose and Hollis mouldings, so they will be perfect.
