Absolutely wonderful concise easy to understand information, the best I have ever heard. The reasons for each material used was explained. Invaluable!!!! Thank yoou to Joan and her helper!!
Thank this is the second time watching but just as a beginner I have bought standard frames with just the pastel no mat and learned that the first watch when I buy mats now will try using pieces of mat board to make a space thank you
I had a pastel shipped from England, (the day that Queen Elizabeth died) it came with the stiff padded board (2 pieces)with a wax like or vellium paper over it to protect the painting. It was great to unwrap! Lots of tape to seal it. My husband made the frame and I have musem quality glass to protect it. I put all the shipping, stamp and other memorabilia in the back of the frame under the protective backing.
I have been framing with the glass against the pastel making a package with framers tape for years! So glad to know I have been doing it right!! I have been using plexiglass too! No problems!!
NOTES: Joan uses Crescent Picture Mounting Boards, Coroplast or foam core. MATS: Use a 1/8" mat board for dust to fall behind. Light neutral, such as gray. Standard size 16 x 20 or 12 x 18 (half sheets) She puts SpectraFix Degas Spray Fixative in a cup. FRAMES: Injected polyurethane foam vs wood. She like semi-rustic or Champaigne finish. For metal frames, cut with an Makita Miter Saw; and for wood frames a Morso Chopper. She uses Turn Buttons. She uses foam core or coroplast and artist tape (archival). Backing stops rattling. She uses dry-mount tissue to let it fuse. Cresent board has a dry mount tissue that you just peel off; or you can use a spray mount. Though not really archival. GLASS: Tru Vue Anti-Reflective (AR) is the best. Use Framers Tape 1" directly against the glass is called passé-partout framing (just top and bottom). Or use low pH Micropore tape from the drug store. It is gummy. Or a gallery linen liner with foam core is complicated, expensive, and lovely. PACKING & SHIPPING: Plexiglass with passé-partout has less static charge, viable, but expensive. Use corners and Zippy wrap. Add cardboard, and bubble wrap. Double-walled cardboard, and strips of foam core on the edges. So there is no movement. STORAGE. Stacked in Tracing Tissue or Glassine in a foam core folder. WORKING: Clipped with Bull Dog Clips. TRANSPORT and PRESENTATION: In mat and Crystal Clear Bag. www.joanlarson.com/
