Mounting a few small prints for sale, I tried setting up different sized mounts, thanks to a suggestion on the Linocut Friends group on fb...a very useful group of people with the whole range of experience and source of advice and encouragement. ( There are a few clay based ones too, like Clay Buddies...despite the names, both worldwide).
It was worth doing, even if just to reinforce my initial size decision.
There are a few more to do, then photograph and post them on my website and Etsy.
Gifts from near and far.
We had planned a bike ride this morning, but slept in...and missed the weather window!
We will take a short walk instead and hope for better luck this afternoon!
I like that beautiful pitcher!
ReplyDeleteIf your weather is anything like ours - the weather this afternoon was worse! Lovely roses and are those bikes made of pipe cleaners? they look fun :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I left my comment! I cannot advise, but I can admire. These are very nice!
ReplyDeleteSteve the pitcher was a wedding present three years ago from Doug (Fitch) and Hannah.
ReplyDeleteHawthorn, yes pipe cleaner bikes..made by middle son and his partner a while ago
The mounts look good - like lots of space - if the prints are relatively inexpensive I think it's good to make the outer size for the mount to a 'standard size' so that they can fit frames from the likes of Ikea - even large photo-frame size. Otherwise, buyers have to spend more on the frame than the image. Funnily enough, my son sent a lino cut he's made to my wife Jane for Mother's day - it was of a whippet!
