Need some help with a collage please?

Post by Turtletom100 »

Hello there I was wondering if anyone could help us I am going to make a collage with some photos and frame it but what I want to know is

So that the overlay is not visible in the frame I was going to bead it with hot glue this will also emphasise the photos I hope.
But would like some advice on this if possible?

I was also toying with getting a jigsaw puzzle cut out and making like a big puzzle but again was going to use hot glue to put in-between the joins so again emphases the effect

I hope someone can help, and I hope I am the right sort of forum.

I don't think it's the sort of thing most framers would offer or agree to do, but I think a good printer/photographer could stitch the photos together to make one big print using some computer programme or other, with or without some sort of border around each image.

I seem to get a lot in for framing printed by Snapfish

Here is a link to the relevant area of their website: http://www.snapfish.co.uk/snapfishuk/co ... llage=true

Depending on size it will probably need to be dry mounted before framing and will require a mount or glass spacer.

A customer once persuaded me to frame one without a mount straight up to the glass and the high gloss finish on the print produced some strange effects where it met the glass. Looked like she had got acne!

Ended up taking it apart and using 3mm econospace. :head:
