Mat
Pretty soon, I must slip into the basement and start mating the originals. I've got a series of gold frames from Dad's attic clean-out - so I think I'll be framing a buncha stuff. My count is currently 11, and there's some pieces already mated.
I like the mating process, but there are times I want to go all out - double mats, embellishments or even elements painted on the mats. But then I pull back. A lot of times the mats get changed when they get up on the final walls. So, a lot of time - it's a simple black mat to set the elements off.
With framing - I like to do a bit more.
Now that I'm thinking about it - maybe I'll see about a pretty illustrated piece with illustrated mat. OOOOooo. Yeah. I'll get on it.
