jboyd Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 Hi Everyone, I'm new here and somewhat new to scrolling. I really like your site. I have a question. When framing your portrait cuts do any of you frame them behind glass? Thanks!! Quote
Messman Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I don't currently. But if I were to have something entered into a show, or if it was a cutting I charged a large amount for I probably would. Quote
wombatie Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I didn't when I first started but I do now, thats just the way that I like them. Marg Quote
Eagledrum70 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I always have just to keep the dust from getting down in the black areas, also it looks better. I started out using plexiglass better known as plastic or acrylic. I thought this was a cheaper way to go, but it was not . I started using regular glass that you can get cut at most hardware stores . I get mine at Lowes Home Improvements. You can get glass and get it cut for around 2 dollars depending on size and it looks professional. Eagledrum70 Quote
jboyd Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks alot. I probably will cover them just to keep the dust off the black. Again you all have a great very informative site. Thanks for your help i've done alot of reading here just not much posting. Quote
Old Dust Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I cut my portrait boards to either 8"X10" or 8 1/2" X 11" and get wood frames from the Dollar Tree store. They have 'certificate' frames the the 8 1/2" X 11" fit, all for only $1 each. All with glass. John Old Dust Quote

For me I make my own frames , so I have to get my glass cut. Thanks Eagledrum70 Quote
Oges Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I use the 'certificate' frames from the local cheap stores also Quote
wombatie Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I use the cheap frames too, the place I get them from have some real wood (not plastic) black frames they look hand made. Marg Quote
Xray Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 If you just cut straight lines, glass is super simple to cut with one of those basic $3 glass cutters. Quote
