Great tip (as ever) Prospero about the enamelled copper wire. What gauge(s) do you advise I get to kick off - presumably the finest out there for the pen nibs?

:clap:
Yes - I'm always looking for improving the options when mounting objects - I've taken a look on eBay but there's quite a lot of variations on thickness & weight etc. Can any offer details on what would be the best choice for 'invisibility' :)

I've seen fishing line used very effectively, when suitable. Personally I've been amazed how invisible Mylar/polyester sheet can be. Trouble is us framers look at everything so closely, we know it's there!

For many years fishing line worked for me :D I used some of the "leader line" used in fly fishing for most object framing. After all, it was thin enough to fool a wild brown trout :giggle:

This was back in the day when the only person to talk about conservation was Sir Peter Scott. :o
