Re: Swept Frames.

I used to advertise them on my web site with photos to offer as mirrors and got a lot of calls from companies that sell those framed new born hand prints and such like because they use them as standard but I hold stock just used to order in as needed from LJ. The smaller sizes are easier to source, ...

Re: Swept Frames.

Swept Frames.

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. Where are you sourcing your swept frames from nowadays? A scarce and increasingly expensive commodity these days it appears! Any contacts appreciated, Cheers DJ.

Framing Chinese Caligraphy

Hi all, any advice on framing Chinese calligraphy on that really thin delicate paper!?! The pieces I'm doing are very wrinkled anyway and I'm struggling to not get pulls and wrinkles around the edges into the mounts, any advice techniques welcome! Thank you,
