I concur!! Think I need to be getting myself another set of FC blades got 2 sets and they really do outperform my 3 morso ones!!

How time flies as well! Two years!!!??!

How funny, I didn't pick up the welsh accent - I suppose as I am also welsh I probably wouldn't! Just sounded normal to me!:) I will get back in touch, and say that Steve is on the case - I'm a little too busy this end in all honesty - and I've never fabric wrapped before either! Also Sarah - did yo...

I had a similar request today - i think it might have been the same customer, passed on from Richard Christie (cheers Richard!). I'm a tad busy this end, so if it's the same job - I'm incredibly happy for you to takeover YPF!:) however I was on my way here to ask the same question!! :) but after a q...

Evening Steve,

Not got a message from you sorry!! If it's easier to email me instead happy days!!:) john@framedbyjohn.co.uk

Cheers,
John

If Fee doesn't want it - I'll take it off your hands Yorkframing! but Obvs they have first dibs!:)

Morning all, I've been asked if I can frame a shirt to match a design seen on tinterweb - it seems pretty simple to achieve - when I've found the thing i need!! Basically the shirt is supported using a Flat torso mannequin - I've been able to find the overall shape but the mannequin still has a neck...

Evening All, Was just having a browse through some of the jobs I did last year and came across a job which was probably my favourite of the bunch - so got me thinking what everyone else's favourite job was. Either in terms of overall outcome, ease, enjoyment or if everything just went perfect for a ...

Also thanks to Richard for sharing my Page! only just seen this - wondered why I had a few more likes this week!

It's nice to see that some people take an interest in what I post! even if it's just other framers hence I shall carry on!

Also thanks for the follow Sarah!

Yup cut on the Gunnar! Couldn't be without it now!!its a one piece mount the blue is essentially a full sheet I think it's 47" x 31". Or pretty close to anyways! It was the absolute biggest I could go with my size Gunnar - wish I went for the XL now!!:( 3 layers of mount ontop, one underne...

On a decent amount of wire - but spoken to Nielsen and they suggest it needs to be hanging from all four sides in order for this not to happen she to size - they've also suggested to use wire in a cross cross pattern to tighten it all together. I've spotted in lions a product calls titeframe so will...

Customer sent me in an image of something I dropped off the other day - he's pleased as punch with it... But from the image he sent me - between me dropping it off and him hanging it...well if you check the top left and bottom right corners you can see they have come apart. Any ideas on how to recti...

On a lighter note, but related - I once had a Signed Picasso etching in for framing (worth a few thousand) - the only reason he came to see me was because he couldn't get a frame from Wilko's that fit... Now I think we can all agree that there's defo something wrong with that!!

I've previously been using Artbak Aqua, but the last batch of 100 I got came in bowed the wrong way! So also looking for something new! Wasn't too keen on Back/10 myself...sometimes it came in bent the wrong way which allowed a gap to form between mount and image...

It does depend on the grade of Acrylic. You could use cheap styrene, which does have all those properties, or as you have found out - the best of the best TruVue Optium, which is anti reflective, anti static and doesn't scratch - However the cost difference between these two products can be astronom...

How's this? Helpful?

Turn it upside down! Front mount with the face paper facing up, under mount lined up next to it...if using mount board, have the face paper also facing up... That should work

I also saw something like these the other day which served the same purpose! Guy wants me to match what he has previously! Photo attached any suggestions...however something like featurepieces would also suffice!!!

Cheers all!

Gutted for USA & Costa Rica - both showed what England didn't - desire to win!

However I reckon Netherlands Germany final...

Netherlands to win!

Here was my set of vests (which I was talking about at SF).

It's amazing to see how different they have both turned out! As I said at SF I went for the more formal approach

Deep joy, nice!!

Are these the ones you were telling me about at Spring Fair? (I was sat next to you at the Shirt framing seminar). They came out totally different to the ones I had to do! Really like the idea
