The picture is placed on the mount board and is adhered to it in some manner. Although adhesive can be used, it can often damage the artwork if you want to change out the picture frames. Photo corners or hinging tape can be used instead, and these often come in acid-free formulas so that no damage will come to the artwork, which can be removed from the corners easily. Alternatively, the mount board can be taped to the mat board using the hinging tape, with the artwork sandwiched in between. written by Susan Slobac
If you go to visit museums or fine art galleries where photographs are displayed, you will often see the artwork framed in slender black metal frames with wide white mat board used to edge the photograph. This is done, especially when black and white photos are on display, for several reasons. First, the wide white mat helps to focus the viewer's eye on the center of the frame, where the picture is displayed. The white and black colors do not detract in any way from the artwork. Having consistent picture frames also helps to keep the room looking organized, despite the variety of photographs on display. This is a very modern, sleek look, which also looks wonderful in homes with modern interior design, but can look out of place in other styles of home interior design. written by kris reyes

The first problem artists have when framing a picture is how to connect the artwork to the mount board. If you use adhesive, it will remain secure to the mount board, but you will not be able to remove the picture in the future without a great deal of damage to the artwork itself. Instead, many artists overcome this hurdle by using corners. They are small, and made from acid-free products so that no damage comes to the artwork. The photo or picture fits into the corners, and then the corners are attached to the mountboard, allowing for easy removal of the art anytime you wish. They are completely hidden under the mat, for a professional finish. written by Eileen Roberts

Matting supplies are the best place to start when building unique picture frames. First, select a custom mat that compliments the item to be framed. Typically, the color or texture of the mat will be the determining factor. Once the mat is chosen, calculating the frame size you’ll need becomes easier. For example, a 13x19 frame would be less suitable than an 18x24 frame if a 2.5” mat is to be used in framing a 13x19 photo. << previous page 1 2 3 next page>> |
