A sign of a great framer.

I was talking to my mom today about this mat job, and it took me a second to find it again. I don't know if this is already in this thread somewhere, but it should be. I couldn't find it on a search. (This is not my piece, for the record.)

I was very pleased the finished product. I think Amber was ready to pop me in the lip for coming up with this solution, especially when we added a fourth mat.

Custom mat cutting...four mats?!!! As a rookie framer, I can see that anything is possible now! That Furthur uncut frame-up is mind-blowing. Wizard mat cutters everywhere are crying!

Hey jal! it's Amber of Furthur frames. It was a pleasure having you and your friends through the shop. Glad to have had the privilege to jump on the design table for this one while the daug was out of town! I think this turned out killer! and glad you feel the same way~

I'm so glad someone brought attention back to this piece! I was the 'Wizard cutter' for this doodle last year. I never had the opportunity to comment on it however since I just recently created an EB account. Of course back then, had I had an account, I would have found myself in a perma state of frustration since my hands were too crippled to type for weeks to come! This was one of those ' Mt Everest' projects for a picture framer. Such a challenge! Many points at which you think there's a strong possibility you won't survive and desperately want to turn back. In the end however, It proved a worthy and very memorable feat. To me there is something so satisfying to see a product that has been hand crafted. Call me old fashioned, but had that doodle been created by a computerized mat cutter, it may still turn out pretty cool, but it would have been lacking human touch. This project to me is a prime example of how custom framing can uniquely compliment a work of art that wonders beyond a standard format. Glad to have been a part of it!

That mat cut is as good as it gets, 'old fashioned'! :clap:

Breaking news:

I just completed a trade to send Kobe Bryant, USC and Disneyland to Denver for Peacedog. Pack your stuff bro. You live here in SoCal now. You can start framing my collection as job #1.

I think I got a good deal. :clap:

'Nuff said!

Glad to have you around, Amber! Looking forward to more insightful commentary :notworthy:
