Hi, my names Stan and recently retired due to ill health. I now live in Derby and recently started painting watercolours and other mediums. Just starting out framing so I can frame my art for myself and others in the art class I'm attending and have joined the forum hoping to gain some insight and advice. Also to make a little money I hope in order to pay for my art materials plus I've found something I can do that my condition allows so now feel useful again:-)
Regards
Stan

Re: Hello
Thanks for the welcome chaps. My painting is coming on OK at the moment, won a prize the other week at the class for best painting voted for by the other students so quite pleased My mount cutter arrived yesterday so will be getting in some practice very soon. Very addictive this framing lark
Cheers

Re: Hello
Welcome Stan
You are lucky to have found this forum so early in your framing career
There are a lot of framers who still haven't found it
Go ahead and ask any questions - it sometimes amazes me how helpful everyone is
But search first - the answer may already be in previous posts.
Derby eh ....... the city of one way streets is about all I can recall

I have visited distributors and framers in 90 countries - no two are the same.

Re: Hello
Hi Keith,
Thank you for the welcome. Fortunately I was put in the direction of the forum from a chap who I purchased my underpinner from, he was extremely helpful. I have been and shall be searching for information already discussed you can be sure of that
Derby, yes the traffic system is decidedly very dodgy If I remember correctly the chap who first designed the traffic system in Derby was well and truly sacked for creating a night mare of a system, with traffic entering and leaving at junctions in very dangerous circumstances.
Anyway thanks again for the welcome.
Cheers
Stan
