thanks dog!

Just got this back from framing. First poster to put museum glass on. Hurt when I paid for it but after picking it up, felt like it was money well spent.

Bad photo though. Taken from my iphone in crappy lighting, but you get the picture. A previous post in this thread gave me some inspiration for the frame, however my mat is slightly different.

Looks familiar.... hmmmm....

I like it! You can't do better than getting framing inspiration/ideas from the dog.

Likin the Vegeta avatar too

I like it!

Interesting, frames as matts, I like it. Could use a little more soul piercing yellow though.

I'm currently working on a DIY frame job for this:



as a college graduation gift for a Black Keys fan. I've painted a black metal frame bright pink and I'm going to use a white/black core mat (and maybe a black/black core top mat) with it. I'm really excited to see how this comes out. Pics will definitely be posted here when it's done!

Sounds like an awesome idea. I've got the set so looking forward to seeing how this comes out emac.

I've painted a black metal frame bright pink

I'm totes serious. The frame was a scratch and dent custom frame that I got for a song, but it needed some touch ups. I decided to just go balls-out and paint it a bright color to match the pink in the print. It's for a very artistic, free-spirited girl who I think will love the bold look -- but honestly, I think bringing out the pink (or, alternatively, the bright blue if you hate pink) will just really make the colors in the print pop.

When I was looking closely at the print tonight, I realized that all the very dark shaded areas aren't black, they're actually a really dark blue. I'm scrapping the idea of a black or white mat (the paper is slightly off-white anyway and didn't match the white matboard I already had) and buying a dark navy mat board tomorrow. I had a navy piece leftover from another project, and it looked fantastic with the print. I'm so incredibly stoked to put it all together tomorrow.

let's see how it looks tomorrow!

let's see how it looks tomorrow!

Due to a crazy nearly 24-hour workday last Thursday, I didn't finish this until Friday around lunchtime. When I tried to take pictures in my house, the non-glare glass kept making everything fuzzy. I gave up after a while because I needed to get on the road. So when I gave the print to her, I snapped 2 quick phone pics in the parking lot -- and lo and behold, they turned out fine.

I loved how everything turned out, and more importantly, SHE loved it too. Especially the pink frame. (She had a pink streak in her hair that I didn't remember her having the last time I saw her, so I guess pink was a good choice on my part. )

Print = $75
Basic black rounded profile metal frame, painted with Rustoleum Berry Pink and a clear lacquer top coat = $10 (frame was a scratch and dent "custom" castoff, and I already had the paint)
Navy blue mat with off-white core = $5.60 (for the whole board, and I have some left over; I cut the mat myself)
White foamcore backer = $4.20 (for the whole board, and I have some left over)
UV non-glare glass = $27
Mylar mounting strips = $0 (already had them)

GRAND TOTAL = about $122 all in

In case anyone isn't bored of seeing framed up Stout SW sets... I've had these framed up for a while now, but thought I should share. Just scored a Stout Inglorious Basterds that's going to get the same treatment ASAP (unless anyone has any suggestions!).

I need to own these!
