Hi Folks
I have a customer who wishes to surface(?) mount these small prints using a deep frame and a spacer.
How do I attach these to a mountboard so they don't swing out when hung or crumple due to expansion/contraction?
There is actually 5 of them, across a single piece of mountboard.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

How about using the hedgehog method. Hopefully someone will be able to post some pictures, or instructions. have no difficulty doing it myself, but I don't have any photos of how to do it.

As Mark says, one of the Hedgehog methods will work.
If you want them flush mounted then cut out 5 windows smaller than the work and follow the hedgehog method for that, or if you want them shadow floated cut 5 pieces of 3-5mm foamboard, preferably bevelled so that you don't see the foam behind, hinged as per hedgehog and EVA glue down onto your board.
The link to the hedgehog techniques are on the Lion's site...oh looks like those pages have gone..
Here's Roy Rowlands from Hedgehog Art and Framing demonstrating his techniques!
