Piggy Wuz Framed

[enitharmon]

Remember Piggy? She's now mounted and on the wall.

She looks remarkably simple compared to Daresbury (who continues to make steady progress).

OOh lovely! did you frame her yourself? That's always fun...

Piggy was intended as a card, so the mount was already provided. All I had to was stick her down with double-sided tape so she could peek through the hole. Then I put the card in a cheap photo frame from Wilkinsons.

Now Daresbury is going to be much more interesting. Fortunately I have some experience of mounting photographs for exhibition, and I guess the process isn't much different.

You do have to fold the edges of the canvas around a board and stitch it (really lace it up) across to hold it straight - but it's quite fun and a lot cheaper than professional framers. I had one done professionally; the wedding one I did for my best friend - but have done all the others myself.

He looks great!

There are plenty of places online to tell you how to prepare your work for framing, it's best to lace your work rather tape it as the sticky stuff can seep through & acid free card is best for the mounting so that it will last for years.
