My fra...Ross, thank you for the very kind comments. My framing is quite simple: I use metal frames that usually come with the glass. I have a Logan mat cutter that I use for cutting mats to the size I need. For this weekend show, I gave in and had some mats cuts professionally for my larger paintings since I am not always pleased with the inner corners of my mats and the mat board is already quite expensive. <br /><br />I then cut a foamcore sheet down to the same size as the mat. I use linen archival tape to hinge the mat to the foamcore: the inner top portion of the matting to the outer top portion of the foamcore. I then position the WC paper where I want it between the two layers and use 2 or 3 "T" strips of linen tape to attach the WC to the foamcore.<br /><br />Then everything is slipped into the frame from the bottom, the bottom bar is screwed on, clips are attached to the side for the wire, the wire is attached...and voilà, all done...usually I end up with cuts all over my hands, but it is much cheaper than getting the work done by a framer.Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-69461333393801241382010-07-25T12:37:46.963-04:002010-07-25T12:37:46.963-04:00Congratulations... always wonderful to be able to ...Congratulations... always wonderful to be able to share your work with others!!!Marian Fortunatihttp://www.marianfortunati.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-3764080916893419312010-07-24T23:22:06.102-04:002010-07-24T23:22:06.102-04:00Thank you, Rhonda.

My hands are all covered with cuts from the glass:-)<br />I only had time to finish two strawberries and I sold one today at the show. I will post an update tomorrow or Monday of how the show went.Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-53804404694722609622010-07-24T23:14:36.401-04:002010-07-24T23:14:36.401-04:00Congratulations on the features!!

I do hope you get time to whip up a few more strawberries :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-70757179937169845202010-07-24T02:49:13.460-04:002010-07-24T02:49:13.460-04:00Congratulations Christiane on your double feature ...Congratulations Christiane on your double feature for "Berry Lonely". <br />I agree with Vicki. You do work very hard and the recognition is well deserved. So you also do your own framing? Now I am doubly impressed as well! I've threatened to do my own framing but have yet to get to it. It's been too easy to take the paintings to a framer but i feel it shall have to change as the cost is just too high, especially when you are preparing for a show. Perhaps you can share your framing technique with us. That be cool. <br />Thanks for dropping by my blog once again. Always so nice to see your name there.Ross Lynemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371133937402266762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-74614807393392481962010-07-23T22:29:17.937-04:002010-07-23T22:29:17.937-04:00You are too kind, Vicki :-)Thank you.You are too kind, Vicki :-)Thank you.Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-62928044774755001472010-07-23T21:14:03.828-04:002010-07-23T21:14:03.828-04:00That is not luck at all.
