The Framers Forum

Hello all, quick question - I have an inquiry from a new customer asking if I have one of these or know where to get one? Apparently it's a corner piece from a frame...but afraid I've not come across them yet?

Hopefully I can convince her they're no longer available and she needs a nice new frame..

Thanks

Dean

I can't help you, but it looks like a wee fat guy sitting on a chair, giving you the finger.

It does. Well spotted.

I thought that but I was too polite to mention it.

Brilliant! made me chuckle on a Friday night... LOL...

I'll tell her I can't help her!

No idea - show her some beautiful new frames, perhaps that will tempt her!

Just thrown a boat load of those away a couple of weeks ago!

They came off some aluminium frames that were used to stretch canvas prints over. I have a feeling she said that they had been sent over in kit form from Australia by her brother, so doubt you'll get them here. My customer thought it was a pretty rubbish idea having tried to stretch the things themselves - the canvas prints are fastened on using double sided tape along the edges of the aluminium frame. Another crack pot idea if you ask me.

Totally agree, takes ages to get the canvas off as they were deep stretchers, customer wanted to frame with a much shallower moulding

Thanks all, I shall hopefully get a new customer out of someone else's crackpot scheme.
Cheers
