Bespoke mounts
Posted: Wed 06 Jul, 2022 9:55 am
I have deep boxed frames intended for a variety of uses, but a new idea I thought of was inserting a mirror aswell. The plan was to have the mirror cut to the size of the backboard and insert it directly into the frame, but the mirror weighs 1kg and isn't suitable for the type of frame I'm using.
I've had another idea of using small mirrors that are already cut to a square size that can be purchased from a few high Street suppliers say 10cm x 10cm and glue these directly to the backboard with a mount around the outside of it. The mount would require a square aperture and rather than a bevelled cut would need a straight cut around the mirror so that it slots into place. The types of mirrors range in depth from 3mm - 4mm. I may paint or print directly onto the mount aswell.
I'm looking for a nice bright yellow/orange mount and also grey to start with.
Does anyone supply alternative colours to standard white and black mounts and is it possible to acquire mounts of say 3-4mm thickness?
