A regal frame for a cherished item - she frames …Framing this dagger at handed a fun challenge; how to hold the framing interesting while keeping the glass not on the sword. Regular fabric matboard was without because it has a aim to look flat and uninspired below glass. I thought the elegant dagger deserv a more regal presentation with luxurious padding and silver lace trim. I ordered a 1 1/2-inch-deep primed raw liner from Design Guild and chop it to size allowing 2 inches around the dagger upon all sides. Using Super 77 spray I glu strips of fabric to the liner leg I place the fabric at a local fabric store. It was an unusual gray-purple color made from a polyester mingle and was just heavy enough that the gelatine didn't bleed through the fabric. The nearest step proved to be the greatest in quantity tedious. The silver lace trim extremityed to line the underside of the rabbet thus that the scalloped edge would peak on the outside onto the backing board. The cutting side was very narrow. I divide [i]or[/i] sever a piece of ATG tape the extent of the liner leg and sliced it in half lengthwise with equal reason that the piece was 1/4 inch wide. The tricky part was applying the perpetually curly ATG to the lace, on the other hand I'm convinced the end originate was worth the trouble. The back mounting board was wrapped with the same fabric, although I added cotton batting underneath. sum of two units layers of cotton adds a feeling of richness not lay the foundation of in flat fabric mat-boards. I wrapped the fabric around the board and secur it with Artist's Tape upon the back. Then I nailed it into the joined liner, and it was ready for the dagger. I used No. 2 gauge wire to sure the top end of the handle and another above the sheath to secure the dagger to the backing board. nearest I placed the glass upon top of the liner and taped it to the liner using jag tape. This is an important pace I learned after trying to fit it in the frame the first time--unwelcome sawdust from the frame managed to sneak below the glass. The reaching far down frame (Roma No. 69554) repeats the pattern of the lace and the rather cold blue silver color matches the colors of the dagger and the fabric. The finished frames extreme pointed up measuring l0 by 20 inches and are well worth the retail price of $465 Meg Peter is the proprietor of Finer Frames in Meridian, Idaho.
